What is Tithe.ly?

Tithe.ly is a comprehensive web-based solution suitable for non-profits, churches, and ministries to efficiently manage their donor database and enhance donation collection. The platform offers six ways of giving, including mobile giving, text giving, online giving, kiosk giving, admin gift entry, and pledge campaigns to simplify fundraising tasks and manage budgets effectively. With Tithe.ly's recurring donation management feature and customizable funds option with email receipts sent automatically after each transaction makes it easier to streamline funds.

In addition to its features for donations collections, this software also supports multiple payment types such as event registration payments or child care fee collections making it convenient for all-size churches' broader needs. The text-to-give feature that assigns a unique phone number allowing visitors and members to send donations by texting the gift amount helps keep track of your contributions in real-time with automatic acknowledgments emails sent with customized fields highlighting details like date of gift or organization name ensuring transparency on both ends. Giving gaffes are also taken care of via an easy refund process available via texts from contributors following which administrators can instantly issue refunds keeping everyone happy. Finally adding multiple admins who can be assigned different responsibilities through role-based access provides further security layer for managing finances.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Breeze CHMS was adopted by my church around two years ago to replace CCB (Church Community Builder). Our previous management system was far too convoluted. Breeze, while being powerful, made it far more straightforward to track our congregation member's information, increase involvement, and improve on prompt communication. The ability to schedule volunteers and text members are also beneficial.

Pros

  • Detailed reports for attendance, returned members etc
  • Volunteer scheduling

Cons

  • Lacks the ability to customize some "vital" data, such as family relationship.
  • I'd like to see more customization in "child check-in" ticket prints.

Return on Investment

  • Much lower price point than alternatives makes it fiscally responsible.
  • Easy to use platform makes it easy to use for volunteers.
