This is a British thing. Standing orders/direct debits/whatever are
just not common in the US; they're almost de rigeur in the UK. It's
much easier to ask for £5/mo rather than a lump of £60/yr. (WMUK can
expect to be very well off indeed once it's got tax-deductible status.
And then there's Gift Aid, which is basically FREE MONEY!)

Can WMF pioneer small monthly donations in the US?
