Giving
Giving connected to the records you already keep.
Giving in Congregation Portal lets small and midsize churches accept one-time and recurring gifts by card or ACH, designate funds, and keep donor history connected to the same people and households your team already manages.
What does Giving in Congregation Portal include?
Giving covers simple digital giving for your church: one-time and recurring gifts, card and ACH, fund designations, donor giving history tied to each person and household, and administrative visibility for reporting and reconciliation. It is part of the same platform as people, households, groups, and attendance, not a separate tool.
What Giving helps your team do
Connected to people and households
Every gift is recorded against the same person and household record your team already maintains, no parallel donor database to reconcile.
Simple digital giving
Accept one-time and recurring gifts by card or ACH, with fund designations your church controls.
Visibility for leadership
Administrative views for reporting and reconciliation, with role-appropriate access so the right people see the right information.
How churches use Giving
Recurring generosity
Donors set up weekly or monthly gifts to the funds your church designates, by card or ACH, with simple controls to pause, adjust, or change funds.
Designated funds
Run a general fund alongside missions, building, benevolence, or short term initiatives, each with its own reporting view for leadership and the treasurer.
Year end statements
Generate clear annual contribution statements tied to the same person and household record the rest of the platform uses, no parallel donor list to reconcile.
Pastoral visibility, handled carefully
Giving information is held to a stricter permission standard than the rest of the platform, with administrative views narrowed to the small group of people who actually reconcile and report on it.
Responsibility
How we think about handling giving information
Giving information is among the most sensitive data a church holds. Congregation Portal approaches it with thoughtful permissions, careful handling, and honest communication, role-appropriate access so the right team members see the right records, clear administrative views for reporting and reconciliation, and no claims about certifications or capabilities we have not delivered. As specific capabilities are confirmed, this page will describe them in plain language.
