§The Giving Issue

Less to the platform.
More to the mission.

Online giving software for churches with no platform layer — just Stripe's standard processing. Donor records, campaigns, and year-end statements live in the same place your treasurer already books transactions.

§The Math

Of every $100 given,

$96.80

reaches the church.

$10$2,500$5,000$10,000
Donor gives$100.00
Stripe fee (2.9% + 30¢)−$3.20
ChurchFinance fee$0.00
Church receives$96.80

Stripe's rates above reflect standard US card processing. ACH bank transfers cost less. ChurchFinance never adds a platform fee on top.

§ II.People

Every donor, recorded properly.

Online gifts and in-person offerings reconcile against a single donor record. Donors get their own portal to see their giving history and download statements whenever they need.

  • Unified donor records
    Online giving and offering-plate gifts roll up to the same person or family.
  • Donor portal
    Each donor sees their own giving history, recurring gifts, and statements.
  • Donor-managed recurring
    Donors can cancel a recurring gift from the portal. Pause and resume are admin actions on request.
§ III.Campaigns

Raise for the building. For the trip. For the family in need.

Each campaign gets its own giving page, QR code, and shareable link. Recurring gifts, one-time gifts, and progress all roll up automatically.

What we actually do, said plainly.

Payments by Stripe

All cards, ACH, and Apple Pay are processed by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). ChurchFinance never sees or stores card numbers.

Encryption

Traffic is protected by HTTPS/TLS. Sensitive credentials and tokens are encrypted at rest with AES-256.

Audit log

Every change to a transaction, donor, or fund is recorded with the user, action, and timestamp. Reviewable from the dashboard.

Questions

What treasurers ask first.

No. ChurchFinance does not charge a platform fee on donations. You only pay Stripe's standard processing fee — 2.9% + 30¢ for cards, lower for ACH bank transfers — which goes directly to Stripe, not to us.
