Donating ETH to charity on a recurring basis. Does a dapp/contract exist for this?

I'm hoping somebody here can help me. If there's a more relevant sub please let me know. Perhaps this already exists and I haven't found it, or perhaps it's just a fun idea that somebody smarter than me can work on. For this example I'm based in the US but it can be applied globally.

What I'd like to do: recurring donations to charity using crypto. Let's assume the charity accepts crypto and I have a receive address. I want to donate monthly without having to manually do it. I want to donate ETH or anything else, but the amount should be equivalent $10 USD. So a month ago maybe it was 0.01 ETH and today it's 0.05 ETH (just making up the numbers), but both are equal to $10 USD each month at the time of donation. Since I the user need to initiate transactions but I don't want to do it monthly, perhaps I can send $120 USD worth of crypto once per year to a smart contract, and then the dapp/contract can distribute monthly. If possible, could it donate more during bull runs? I have so many further ideas around this!

Why? First off, anybody who can should donate to a worthwhile charity. But there are tax benefits too; specifically it's not taxable, so the charity gets more and you get to give more without government in the middle. Additionally, most donations qualify as a deduction on your taxable income. Win win! Charities also prefer monthly donations, since it gives the charity a steadier cash flow that they can plan around. Lastly, and this is obvious but important…the easier it is to donate, the more people will donate. I think there are good people in the crypto community who would gladly give monthly if it's convenient enough. Especially if you've made significant gains and would like to give back. I think it would give the crypto community some positive PR as well.

Personally, I have a few small recurring donations each month to my favorite charities, but I'm doing it in fiat because it's easy. I'd like to instead use gains from crypto to donate.

Thanks for reading, looking forward to hearing what's out there.
