Online Church Giving Strategy
TechnologyFor many non-profits, one out of every two gifts comes in during the last three months of the year. Churches usually experience their largest monthly gift amounts in November and December. This makes online giving most important at the year’s end.
Approximately 40% of online gifts are made in December, and between 40-60% of those gifts are made during the last two days of the year. Online giving appeals to and creates givers that are wealthier, higher-dollar, and younger donors.
If online giving is already part of your strategy, great! If not, now is the time to implement an effective strategy for 2010.

About Rusty Lewis
As a church leader, there’s nothing more frustrating than not having the funding to do what God’s calling you to do. But when you think about trying to address that problem, you feel overwhelmed, you dread the potential pushback from your congregation, and you’re not sure where to turn for help. Over the last 18 years, I’ve helped more than 120 churches close the gap between their current financial reality and what they need to move forward in ministry.
