If you are going to add to the list, and the organization does not specifically advertise the availability of $1.00 monthly donations, then please do not add the organization unless you confirmed with them ahead of time that they will welcome such small donations.

Might want to fix the spelling (sires to sites) of the title so that a search finds the thread. Believe me I am not the grammar or spelling police, but thought you would want it to be found if searched.

Unfortunately, the moderator responded, saying this can't be done. Sigh.

United Negro College Fund (UNCF) 4 stars from Charity Navigator
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste"

You can set up recurring donations online or by mailing in a form provided on their site. You can have them charge your card or auto-deduct from your bank account (useful for those rewards accounts that require an auto-deduction). You can also comment online or on the paper form not to send you a confirming letter each month.

By email: "Is there a minimum acceptable amount for recurring automatic monthly donations?"
"No, there is no minimum to donate monthly. Most people don't go below $5.00, though."

I would add African People's Education & Defense Fund (APEDF)

APEDF "develops programs to defend the human and civil rights of the African community".
I don't know what their minimum donation is using auto-pay. Looks like the donations go thru PayPal, and it didn't choke when I tried $1.00/mo.

I added the links from the archived thread back to the Quick Summary (assuming a moderator approves my post). I viewed the HTML source of the archived thread and wrote a little script to convert the links to the right format.

I don't understand why archived threads are so separated from regular threads on here. Why doesn't FW allow a new post to be made to an archived thread (automatically unarchiving it)?

Not a charity, but someone claims he has some data stored in Amazon S3 and is being charged $0.05/month for the storage.

I still use a monthly alert, have a saved bookmark to an Amazon e-book that costs $0.01, buy two of them. Takes 2 minutes and is a constant reminder.

Just tried $1.00 and it was rejected. In fact, quite a few charities which previously accepted $1.00 / monthly according to the Quick Summary have increased their monthly acceptable amount.

Not sure if I'm just making too many small updates to Quick Summary, but the dollar amount for SHARE and V Foundation of $1.00 should now be replaced with $5.00. Also, here's a Charity Navigator 4-star rated one which accepts recurring $1 / month (as of now): https://support.bcrfcure.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=14. It's part of the list "10 Charities with the Most Consecutive 4-Star Ratings."

One thing you guys can do is set a reminder on your phone or something to tell you to buy $1 worth of gas and have it do that to you every month.. Or if you have a car that needs you to do 12 purchases a month, when you're at the gas station, you can make 12 separate purchases by purchasing $1 worth of gas each time.
