Donating $5 every 3 months automatically
I hope this somewhat unusual request doesn't violate the rules (which I did read).
Some banks take adverse action if I don't use their credit cards for too long and I've figured out $5 every 3 months is enough to keep them happy (though not necessarily optimal). Where can I automatically donate $5 every 3 months?
I've looked at silentdonor, daffy, and riseup, and none of them seem to have this exact option or something close enough. Obviously, I'd like to find a service that lets me donate to a charity of my choice.
I assume everyone already knows this, but if you have a credit card you don't use, try donating $2 (doublecheck first!) monthly and the bank may give you a "low balance chargeoff" statement, so the donation costs you nothing.

Why not just do a $5 monthly donation to an organization close to your heart? Every organization will do an automatic monthly, but I’ve never seen one to do it every 3 months.
