June is an exciting month for new releases in functionality to your giving platform. Our already robust Forms feature is filled with updates that provide a better experience for the admin and giver. The Virtual Terminal is expanding, navigation is improving, and more has been enhanced. These features are driven by feedback from you—the churches we gratefully serve. We hope you enjoy them!
Giving to the church for the first time is an emotional experience before it’s a financial one. While finances do play a role in the decision, people give with their hearts. But, only 19% of those that give once are likely to donate a second time. There are a lot of reasons for this, and a primary one has to do with how you engage with first-time givers.
Giving is unpredictable in the summer. Church attendance naturally dips with everyone on-the-go and donations can drop anywhere between 5% to 50%. Fortunately, there’s good news! Churches equipped with the right online giving tools see less than a 1% decline in contributions. Pair that with a platform designed to save you money, and your church can come out of summer with no losses to your budget.
Each month, our product team releases new functionality for our giving platform. In May, we released thoughtful enhancements designed to improve the giver and admin experience. These features are driven by feedback from the churches we gratefully serve! Check out what’s new at easyTithe (and what’s coming soon).
Church attendance and giving often go hand in hand. When one increases so does the other, and vice versa. Just like the end of the year is known for an uptick in gifts and guests, the summertime is notorious for a decrease in attendance and giving.
Churches play a vital role in helping with natural disaster relief. But, it can be complicated. On the one hand, communities look to churches for leadership and ways to get involved. On the other hand, relief agencies have specialized resources and certified staff and volunteers in place to handle these types of situations. With so many people organizing recovery efforts, it becomes a challenge to know the most effective ways to impact your community.
