What's the best way to coordinate recurring financial support?

There are so many people in need of support these days. Community care has been happening through Venmo, PayPal and GoFundMe, at least in my networks. But it usually only covers one gift at a time. I'm curious about solutions for providing ongoing support.

Applications: people with ongoing health issues, financial challenges, or who are in the process of applying for disability. It could help pay for childcare, groceries, rent, etc. The kinds of costs that don't go away.

Patreon has the right model but I'm not sure it would work for someone who has no capacity to create content.

The model of dozens of people paying monthly to support a missionary salary would work very well. But I'm not sure you can just sign a random individual up for those.

GoFundMe appears to offer recurring options. Is this the way to go?

Thank you for any thoughts or experiences!
