Meet Faithlife Giving’s New Features: One Can Noticeably Boost Giving

Which practice will get you closer to where you want to be? 

You wouldn’t ask givers to look at their church giving goals every morning, but you can easily take advantage of the same principle. Just take a minute to set up semiannual or quarterly church giving statements, new to Faithlife Giving. 

In the past, you could automatically send out annual giving statements and customize them with a special message (like for first-time givers). With that capability, you could save hours while reminding people of how their church contributions were making a difference.

But now you have even greater power to keep giving top of mind. 

And the result could be more dramatic than you expect.

A former church staff member we talked to shared this insight from years of experience:

We always saw a bump in giving right after we sent our quarterly giving statements. People didn’t realize their automatic giving had expired, or they got a raise and never adjusted. Sending statements quarterly keeps people informed, keeps their giving and giving commitments in front of them. 

Quarterly statements are also really great if you’re running a church capital campaign so you can say “Hey, remember the pledge you made” without being pushy.

Want the benefit of quarterly giving statements—without the pain of sending them manually? For a few more days, you can get Faithlife Giving Premium, normally $44.99/month, for $0/month, which not only gives you access to all of Faithlife Giving’s features but also locks in our lowest giving rates. (Offer expires 4:00 p.m. (PT) on 2/1/2021.)

And here’s another reason to start Faithlife Giving this quarter—the added ability to attribute gifts to families and businesses. 

• An organization that gives will receive a church donation receipt for their gift so that they can write it off on their taxes. 
• A family can log in, review their giving history, make gifts together, and receive a joint giving statement to file their joint taxes. (  for making tax time easier!)

This new Faithlife Giving feature rolls out at the beginning of next month. 

Speaking of next month . . . 

If you’re not yet using Faithlife Giving, make sure to start before February 1 at 4:00 p.m. (PT) so you can save at least $449/year with the only church giving platform that nurtures healthy stewardship.
