Online Tithing is a new concept for many Catholic parishes. It has been slow to take traction but it seems that in recent months, more and more parishes have been jumping into this online bandwagon.
So why should you consider online tithing? Many parishes have told us that online tithing increases individual collections by up to 50%. Reports also show potential increases of between 10-30% in participating parishes.
Here are a few other good reasons:
Predictable Collections: Accepting online donations provides parishes with the potential to develop a steady stream of recurring giving among its members. Recurring withdrawals provides parishes income consistency with improved giving habits from its parish members. This is specifically helpful during vacation season when income typically drops.
Increase in Collection: Statistics show that online giving allows churches to see increases anywhere from 10-30%.
Better Ability to Give: Because it's online, anyone anywhere can donate to your ministry. People who move away can continue to give to your cause. Friends and patrons who live in another state can pay for parish members' ministry program fees and more. You can also instantly offer a special giving category for emergencies, special collections and parish events.
Less Administration: Management is simplified. No more counting money, or opening envelopes. No need to run to the bank to cash those checks. It is all done online now.
Lower Costs: You will experience a reduced time spent on counting money, bank deposits, data input. Couple this with an increase in the amount of giving and you have a great stewardship program.
