A man taps a card on a wall-mounted donation kiosk in a church lobby while others talk by the doors after the service

The offering, at the door too.

Members tap a card or phone in the lobby, choose Tithes, Missions or Benevolence, and get a receipt by email. Monday's count takes minutes.

Every fund on its own line. No coding on Monday.

Tithes, missions, the building fund and each seasonal offering report separately, whether the gift came from the kiosk, the website or a QR code.

Givebear transactions: every gift with its donor, fund, amount and source, kiosk or web

Sunday, without the cash box.

The plate still passes. Members who no longer carry cash or checks tap a fund, an amount and a card, and the gift is done. Kiosks do best where traffic slows:

  • By the main entrance or narthex, for the offering moment.
  • Near the welcome desk or coffee station, with a sign naming each fund.
  • At retreats, missions conferences and community dinners, on the battery stand.

Kiosks from $999, paid once, with no monthly kiosk fee. See the kiosk

One record per member.

Every tithe, offering and ticket builds one giving history, so statements are ready when members ask.

  • Weekly or monthly recurring gifts keep pledges arriving through the summer dip.
  • Kiosk, online and event gifts land on one member profile.
  • Annual giving statements go out in one click.

A year of offerings.

Start with one or two that fit your calendar. Each routes gifts to its own fund, with a receipt sent automatically.

  • A recurring giving challenge tied to a sermon series, so a one-time tap becomes a monthly gift.
  • A building fund or capital campaign tracked apart from the general offering.
  • Easter and Christmas offerings, each opened as its own fund and reported on its own line.
  • A ticketed dinner or gala, with ticket and sponsor revenue beside the offering.

In your tradition's giving language.

Funds, seasonal offerings and statements named the way your church already talks about them.

Baptist churches
Keep undesignated tithes on the budget and the Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong offerings as their own funds. Gifts arrive tagged for the deacon-led count.
Methodist churches
Track apportionments, UMCOR Sunday and the other Special Sundays as designated funds. Turn estimate-of-giving cards into recurring gifts after Commitment Sunday.
Lutheran churches (ELCA and LCMS)
Split the general fund, Mission Support, benevolence and offerings like ELCA World Hunger. Recurring giving keeps income steady, and numbered envelopes stay welcome.
Presbyterian churches (PC(USA) and PCA)
Open funds for per capita, the deacons' fund, mission and a capital campaign. Members can fulfill an Estimate of Giving pledge with recurring gifts.
Pentecostal and charismatic churches
Keep tithes, the building fund and missions separate, including faith-promise, Speed the Light and BGMC designations.
Non-denominational and multisite churches
Name funds by campus and see every campus from one dashboard, with weekly or monthly recurring gifts.
Catholic parishes
Parishioners give the offertory online or at the kiosk. Second collections such as Peter's Pence and St. Vincent de Paul stay on their own lines, with annual contribution statements.
