Church Online Giving and Donation Management Software

A donor-facing giving portal where each gift can be designated to a specific fund at the time of giving. General, building, missions, benevolence, and campaign funds are each presented as distinct options with a description of what the fund supports. Donors can split a single gift across multiple funds in one transaction -- a donor giving $500 who wants $300 to go to missions and $200 to the building fund completes one checkout, not two. Fund designation travels with the transaction record all the way to the accounting integration, so the finance team never has to manually reclassify a gift. Guest giving is supported without requiring account creation, and donors who do create an account get a giving history view showing every gift by fund, date, and amount. The portal is hosted under your church's own domain and styled to match your brand.

Recurring tithes and pledges set up by the donor with their preferred frequency -- weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or a custom schedule -- and their preferred fund designation. Failed payment handling goes beyond a single notification: the system retries on a configurable schedule (typically 3, 5, and 7 days after the initial failure) and sends the donor a clear message at each retry explaining what happened and how to update their payment method. Card expiry detection sends a notification to the donor 30 days before their card expires, with a link to update their details before the next gift is due. The finance team gets a dashboard showing all active recurring gifts, their next scheduled date, and any that are in a failed or paused state. Donors can modify their recurring gift amount, change their fund designation, pause, or cancel through a self-service portal without contacting the church office.

Capital campaign management built for the full fundraising lifecycle. Donors make pledges -- commitments to give a defined amount over a defined period -- and the system tracks fulfilment against each pledge as gifts come in. Campaign dashboards show total pledged, total received, fulfilment rate, and outstanding pledge amount in real time. Public-facing campaign thermometers show progress toward the campaign goal and can be embedded on the church website or displayed on lobby screens during services. Pledge reminders go out on a schedule configured by the finance team -- monthly, quarterly, or at milestones -- with a link for the donor to make their next instalment. Multiple simultaneous campaigns are supported, so a church running a building campaign and a missions campaign at the same time tracks both in the same system with separate reporting.

Year-end giving statements generated automatically at the end of the tax year and ready for distribution without manual work by the finance team. Each statement covers every gift made by the donor across all funds during the year, with the fund designation listed for each transaction. Statements are generated in both a print-ready PDF format and an email delivery format. Email distribution sends each donor their statement with a single bulk action -- the system sends individually addressed emails, not a mass blast. For donors who prefer paper, statements are exported in a print-ready format sorted by last name for mailing. Statements meet IRS and CRA charitable donation receipt requirements. Corrected statement generation is supported for cases where a transaction was recorded incorrectly and the donor needs a revised receipt.

Direct integration with the church accounting systems used by mid-size and large faith organisations -- Shelby Systems, ACS Technologies, and QuickBooks. Each gift is posted to the correct fund ledger automatically at the time the transaction is confirmed, with no manual export step and no spreadsheet in between. Fund codes in the giving portal map directly to chart-of-accounts codes in the accounting system, so the finance team's reconciliation at month end is a verification step rather than a data entry task. Batch posting is available for churches that prefer to post gifts on a daily or weekly schedule rather than in real time. The integration handles split-fund gifts, refunds, and reversals without creating manual journal entries. If your church uses a system outside this list, we assess the available API and confirm integration scope during project scoping.

Text-to-give allows donors to give from their seat during a service by sending a text to a dedicated shortcode. The first-time donor receives a reply with a secure link to complete their gift and optionally save their payment details for future giving. Return donors who have previously saved their details complete the gift by replying with the amount -- one message, no link required. Kiosk giving provides a self-service terminal for church lobbies and foyers where donors can give by card without using their own device -- useful for congregants who are less comfortable with mobile giving. Both channels feed into the same giving record and accounting integration as online giving, so the finance team sees all giving channels in one consolidated view. Text-to-give shortcodes and kiosk hardware are sourced and configured as part of the project.
