Churches
Sundays and campaigns
Text-to-give, a lobby kiosk, recurring gifts, kids check-in and year-end statements.
Churches & nonprofits
Every gift received the same way.
A Sunday at 10:40. A gift from the pew, a family checking kids in, the retreat filling up and a building fund climbing on the wall. Twelve marks show the systems doing the work — from the offering to the café to the year-end statement.

The part that makes giving easy to keep going.
Every gift, from the pew, the kiosk, the livestream or the bake sale, lands on one donor record in the right fund. Year-end statements are a report, not a week.

All channels together
On target of 35%
Down from 2.9% after a charity-rate review
- Recurring gifts carry the summer. Monthly giving on a card or bank account keeps the budget steady when attendance dips.
- Charity rates, actually applied. The card networks publish lower rates for qualifying charities. Many organizations aren’t being charged them.
- One record per giver. Text, kiosk, online and envelope gifts on the same donor record, in the right fund.
- Statements in an afternoon. Year-end giving statements generated and sent from the same system.
Share of giving that is recurring
Sample dataRecurring gifts as a share of all giving, by month, after adding text-to-give and a recurring option on every form. The dashed line is this church’s 35% target.

How it fits
Four ways in. One record through.
A gift by text, a tap at the kiosk and a monthly pledge all land on the same donor record — and on the same year-end statement.
Fit
Built for the mission you actually run.
Same platform, different defaults. What changes is how people give, what they give to, and what they need to see at year end.
Schools
Tuition and events
Tuition plans on autopay, event tickets and fundraising campaigns.
Associations & societies
Dues and events
Membership dues on autopay, event registration and donations on one record.
Tourism & civic groups
Events and sales
Event tickets, merchandise and sponsorships, with sales and gifts kept apart.
Charities
Campaigns and donors
Online giving pages, recurring donors, campaigns and a charity-rate review.
Switching
Six steps, and no Sunday is missed.
The order below is the actual order. Nothing goes live until your funds are set up and one Sunday has run on it.
- 01
Funds & campaigns
Your funds, campaigns and designations set up the way your treasurer reports them.
Week 1 - 02
Givers
Donor records imported, with recurring gifts moved over where givers agree.
Week 1 - 03
Channels
Text-to-give, the website, the livestream and the kiosk connected.
Week 2 - 04
Café & events
The café register and event sign-ups on the same system.
Week 2 - 05
A Sunday in parallel
One Sunday run on both systems, so nothing is discovered during the offering.
Week 3 - 06
Go live & first statements
We’re on call for the first month and walk the first giving report with you.
Week 4
Questions
The ones pastors and treasurers actually ask.
Are there lower card rates for churches?
The card networks publish lower rates for qualifying charities. Whether they’re applied depends on how the account was set up. We check your statement to see.
Can givers cover the processing fee?
Yes. Online and text forms can offer an option for the giver to add the fee to their gift.
Will recurring gifts move over?
Recurring givers usually re-enter their gift once. We help plan the switch so nothing lapses.
Can the café use the same system?
Yes. The café and bookstore run on a simple register, with sales kept separate from giving.
Can we produce year-end statements?
Yes. Statements are generated from the donor records and sent by email or printed.
Is bank transfer cheaper than cards?
Usually, yes, especially for large gifts. Givers can choose it on any form.
