Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is online donations and payments?
Online donations and payments provide a simple and convenient way for parishioners to tithe, contribute gifts for a specific need, or pay for event tickets and programs. There is no longer a need to locate checkbooks, remember weekly envelopes, or mail in funds. Easily give directly on the parish website, or set up a recurring donor account to give automatically and never miss an envelope again.
What are the benefits of online donations and payments?
For donors:
- Convenient - Give anytime from any device with an internet connection, and even choose to set up an automatic recurring gift account for regular tithing.
- Easy - Never be directed to a separate site or submit multiple forms.
- Effective - Electronic communication confirms all gifts, and recurring gift accounts keep donation records. No more guessing if your gift was received, or misplacing envelopes of checks or cash.
For parishes:
- Efficient - Electronic reporting tracks all gift transactions (from submission to receival) and saves hours of bookkeeping. There is less chance of human error, miscounting, or misplacing donations. Gifts are quickly deposited for parish use.
- Secure - Unlike automatic deduction enrollment, parish staff never have to collect and store financial information of parishioners. Fewer amounts of cash are on hand at Masses and in the parish office.
- Dynamic - Increases ways to promote and receive gifts for needs beyond regular office hours and geographical borders.
When are my gifts automatically taken from my account?
One-time gifts are immediately processed and the transaction should on your bank/credit card statement within a few days.
If you chose to make a recurring gift, your first donation will process immediately. Then, you will receive an email to create an online donor account. Your account allows you to choose the frequency of your gifts as well as a date on which the funds will be automatically withdrawn from a checking account or charged to a credit card. You can also pause or cancel a recurring gift at any time.
Is it safe? Are there risks?
The online donations and payments system meets the same security standards as online banking. Plus, your online gifts cannot be lost or stolen. So as long as you are using a secure internet connection, online gifts can have fewer risks than carrying cash and checks. And there is instant tracking and recording of all transactions.
How does this help the parish?
Unlike auto-deduction enrollment, with online giving there's no need for the parish to ever collect or store financial account information of parishioners. The processing and reporting through online giving is faster and more efficient for bookkeeping purposes, which saves time and labor on the organization’s end. And with more online gifts, the parish will have less amounts of cash to handle.
