3. PushPay
In addition to the features you’d expect in a mobile giving app, PushPay’s website also touts a management tool: their “Donor Development” feature.
“A complete, robust dashboard that harnesses your giving data to show you where every member of your church is on their giving journey with your church. Not only can you view the complete picture of your donors, you can see individual donors and get customized next-steps to help you invite those people into deeper participation with your church, all thanks to intelligent features like:
- An at-risk donor view that helps surface the people who need pastoral care
- A comprehensive view of donor health at your church
- Customized next-steps for individual donors (with recommended actions and resources)
PushPay does strong work in connecting people’s stories with the nuts-and-bolts of giving and mobile security: Pastor Danny Anderson of Emmanuel Church in Greenwood, IN, set out to raise $50,000 to support an orphanage in Haiti. Since they were already using PushPay to collect donations and offerings, they were able to easily add this need as a potential fund for people to contribute toward.
Even though Emmanuel was firmly resolved to make this dream a reality, they were not prepared for the response. The simplicity of using PushPay to make donations, coupled with the ease of sharing the cause with friends, helped the drive spread like wildfire. Within 24 hours of kicking off their campaign, they had raised nearly half of the needed $50,000 through PushPay. And by the time the campaign was over, they’d raised more than $100,000! For a full list of their features, please see their website.
