We have now been offering electronic giving to members of Grace for three years. It has proved to be a reliable and successful method of receiving regular gifts from our members. Currently about 20% of our members use Tithe.ly for their gifts; most sign up for recurring donations and most cover the fees incurred. We would like to take this opportunity to encourage all members to consider using Tithe.ly as your method of giving.
If the technology is a hinderence, we have posted a tutorial about how to sign up and how to make a donations. Click on the PDF file at the bottom of this post. If you are still having problems, leave a message with the office and a member of the Finance team will contact you with help.
The following are further notes from the Tithe.ly website.
Giving to Grace should be meaningful, simple, and fast. That’s why we chose Tithe.ly's set of digital giving tools for our church.
The free Tithe.ly mobile giving app is the fastest and most secure way for members to give tithes and offerings to support our church! With features like easy recurring giving and QuickGive™, it’s never been easier for people to grow in generosity with Tithe.ly’s church Giving App.
QuickGive™
Traditionally, giving on phones and tablets has been frustrating. Nobody likes poking at their screens to type long card numbers, addresses, and other unnecessary information. Tithe.ly's church donation app enables members to save their details and give with a single tap. Once they have an account, you can give through the mobile app or on our website. Give with one-tap on your iPhone or Android phone using one of the easiest free giving apps for churches. You won’t find a more simple and effortless mobile tithing app on the market!
Recurring Giving
Consistently giving has never been easier than it is with the Tithe.ly Giving App. With Recurring Giving our church members can set up new recurring gifts, view existing gifts, and manage gift details from anywhere, all from within the Tithely church app.
Giving History
With the Tithe.ly Giving app, members of our church can easily view their history of generosity in a single place. Any gift can be viewed for more insight, or donors can email gift details directly from their church tithing app.
Cover the Fees™
We know it can be important to members that a designated amount is received by our church with each donation. Because of this, Tithe.ly created the ability to “cover the fees” which allows donors to easily specify an amount and cover any associated fees so you know exactly how much our church will receive. We believe this helps make Tithe.ly’s Giving App one of the best church giving platforms available.
