Search github. There are loads of scripts available for this task.

Yes, there is. He can also do this with Blockchain.info API. But like ranochigo told:

This however, requires you to have a computer that will be online all the time and if the address changes everytime, you will lose your Bitcoins since they would be unable to credit you.

So he should check whether the address is same as before, he could add a small script in addition. He can do this easily if he have a website or he can tell other person to add this script into hosting account and tell them it only works each month and pay a % of the amount he send.

P.S. I just thought for a moment and I think it is better to send manually as this is monthly not weekly or daily, so it isn't much hassle to do.

I personally don't like automatic recurring payments. I like to know when I'm spending my money.

But he's asking for a solution HE initiates... so he does know. He donates to several organizations monthly and would like to automate his process. It'd be easy to go back and look at what was paid in your wallet.

Because bitcoin includes an electronic form of payment, and because we all spent our entire life with the ONLY electronic form of payment available to the individual being one where we are required to have an account with a third party to handle the payment for us, we tend to forget that bitcoin wallets are not accounts and that bitcoin transactions are peer to peer and require the sending party to actually send the transaction.

+10. You're right!

You'd send it? Do you mean you'd package up the cash in an envelope and trust that the postal workers wouldn't open the envelope and take the cash? If the receiving party claimed that he received a torn and empty envelope, would you trust him and send more cash?

Yes, me. No, I would give directly. If he can be trusted, i.e., if I and him have done anything before but I might not send the full amount again.

A trusted family member is a trusted third party. You can do the same with your bitcoins. Send them to a trusted third party and request that they send the monthly bitcoins on your behalf.

Yes, they are but they are more 'known' to me. But in 'Bitcoin world' most of them are anonymous and most of the persons known are far away from me. So it's hard for me to file a dispute.

Think of bitcoin as cash that can be sent electronically.

This is the problem. Most of the bitcoiners(incl. me) doesn't think like that and try to reduce their work because of laziness.

If you had a stack of cash sitting in your back pocket in your wallet, how would you set up a recurring monthly payment with that cash?

Most probably, I would send it.

Would you authorize the payee to come into your house while you were sleeping and take the money out of your wallet on your nightstand? Or would you deposit the cash with a third party (such as a bank) and then authorize that third party to send the cash monthly on your behalf?

I won't definitely do both of the above but might give to my trusted friend or family member to give but not all time.

You can do that with Coinbase.

I first thought this would not be desired because there is a third party involved. But when I thought about it a little more, it actually makes sense to use a third party.
It makes sense to 'prepay' a third party which is connected and online 24/7 to do the payments.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look into it.

As coinbase have already been suggested, I would tell you to give coinsplit.io a try.

Will Bitcoin-qt add all these cool features? right now is still so damn rustic.

You can technically configure a script which sends a RPC command at every specific timeframe. This however, requires you to have a computer that will be online all the time and if the address changes everytime, you will lose your Bitcoins since they would be unable to credit you.

Is there a wallet which can do recurring montly payments to certain adresses?
I have a few projects/organistations I donate to once in a while but the list is growing and I would like to automate it.

I could not find the option in multibit and as far as I know it is also not possible in bitcoin core.
