💜 Maximize Your Impact By Setting Up a Recurring Monthly Donation to NJBC

Your ongoing support helps us continue our work to protect, promote, and support breastfeeding across New Jersey. Here’s how to make your monthly giving automatic and easy:

🟣 Option 1: PayPal (Easiest for Automatic Monthly Donations)

Steps:

  1. Visit our PayPal donation page: click here
  2. Enter the amount you’d like to donate each month.
  3. Check the box that says “Make this a monthly donation.”
  4. Log in to your PayPal account (or create one if you don’t have it yet).
  5. Confirm your recurring payment.

✅ Your donation will now be sent automatically each month! You can adjust or cancel anytime from your PayPal account under Payments → Automatic Payments.

🟣 Option 2: Your checking account

Most banks let you schedule a recurring payment through their own online banking systems.

Steps:

  1. Log in to your bank’s website or mobile app.
  2. Choose Zelle as your payment option.
  3. Add NJBC as a recipient using this email: njbreastfeedingcoalition@gmail.com.
  4. Enter your monthly donation amount.
  5. Select “Repeat” or “Recurring” and set it for monthly.
  6. Confirm and save your settings.

✅ Your bank will automatically send your donation each month through Zelle.

🟣 Option 3: Venmo

Venmo does not currently allow automated recurring payments, but you can set a monthly reminder to send your donation.

Steps:

  1. Open the Venmo app.
  2. Send your donation to @njbreastfeedingcoalition.
  3. In the “What’s it for?” section, write: Monthly Donation.
  4. To make it easy to remember:
    • Tap the “Remind Me” feature in your calendar or notes app to repeat monthly, or
    • Use Venmo’s built-in reminder feature (tap the “…” on the transaction and choose “Remind me monthly”).

💡 Tip: You can even save NJBC as a “favorite” so it’s quicker to find each month.

Breastfeeding is Important

Breastfeeding and human milk are the normative standards for infant feeding and nutrition. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months, followed by continued breastfeeding as complementary foods are introduced, with continuation of breastfeeding for 2 years or longer as mutually desired by mother and infant.

Medications and Breastfeeding

​Many breastfeeding women are wrongly advised to stop taking necessary medications or to discontinue nursing because of potential harmful effects on their infants. There are few medications that are “not safe” when breastfeeding. Ask your local lactation consultant then consult with your healthcare provider.

FIND HELP NOW

Getting off to a good start can help ensure your breastfeeding success. Find your local breastfeeding support services by visiting Zipmilk.org.
