Updating automated, scheduled, and in-progress contributions

Here are some helpful reminders about updating contribution amounts for automated, scheduled, and in-progress contribution batches.

Timeline for automated contribution updates

Automated contribution amounts are updated and applied to the next contribution batch. The last date to update amounts for upcoming contributions is five (5) days before the pay date at 9:00 PM Central Time.

Updating in-progress contributions

You cannot update or cancel a contribution batch that is already in progress. Contact Support if you have any additional questions.

Updating scheduled contributions

Our system doesn't allow direct edits to scheduled contributions to avoid duplicate errors, so you must cancel and reschedule them.

Tip for updating scheduled contributions

Here's how:

  • Download the CSV for the scheduled contribution batch

  • Make updates to the Contributions spreadsheet

  • Cancel the original scheduled batch

  • Schedule a new batch with your updated CSV
