About Tithe.ly

Tithe.ly is a web-based solution that helps non-profits, ministries, and churches with donor management and donation collection. The main features offered by the product include recurring donation management, customization of funds, email receipts, and multi-campus configuration. The solution helps to manage simple events and can handle payments for event registration, school registration, dues payments, and child care payments.

Tithe.ly enables donors to set up automatic recurring donations on a weekly or monthly basis, the amounts of which can be changed or canceled online by the donor. Donors also receive instant email receipts stating the amount and the cause for which the funds were donated. The software allows members to make donations to different churches using separate accounts and lets churches with multiple campuses track the payments using its multi-campus configuration feature.

Tithe.ly offers a lifetime gift tracking feature that lets donors view their complete contribution history. Churches can also customize the gift descriptions viewed by the donors on their credit card statements. The software also offers reporting features that enable ministries to download Excel files of all transactions. These files can further be used for accounting purposes. Auto-populate features enable administrators to quickly enter donation amounts while the solution automatically enters the information of the donors from the database.

Other features of Tithe.ly include weekly reminders for contributions, custom branded emails, and integration with other church management solution such as Breeze, CCB, and Elvanto. The platform can be accessed through mobile apps for Android and iOS devices. Tithe.ly enforces PCI DSS Level 1 compliance to encrypt and store all the financial information shared by the users.

Great way to manage a church or non-profit

Reviewed on 2023-01-25

Pros

Tithe'ly offers a seamless integration between multiple platforms to manage a church or non-profit.

Cons

They are constantly improving the integration between the mobile app and the desktop versions but this has not always been a smooth transtion. But the team is open to quick to hearing and resolving issues across platforms.

The biggest benefit to this software is knowing what's going on. Reporting is easy and immediate, removing the guesswork and allowing for more robust planning.

Pros

How easy it is to use even for beginners and those for whom technology is difficult/new.

Cons

There are still some features not as robust so we have to use a separate program that doesn't integrate with Breeze/Tithe.ly. Events Manager and externally received donations (PayPal, etc.) are too manual.

F1 was too cumbersome to use for our size organization and much more expensive.

As the leader of a small nonprofit, we were eager to use a platform that we thought would give us a one stop for many different functions we currently use through separate platforms. I don’t believe Tithe.ly was honest about how much time and work would go into trying to build the website and transfer data. After going through an incredibly difficult period and not accessing any of the tools in our subscription, we were denied a refund. Tithe.ly gives ZERO refund, even if the tools don’t meet your needs and even if you don’t use the services. Nothing in their website says this.

Pros

I liked that it seemed noncommittal and well priced.

Cons

Website is time consuming to set up and the required format for merging contact lists made them completely incompatible for us. The data collected cannot be customized. Events cannot be created as a series so every event must be copied and pasted as many times as you provide it.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Tithe.ly

We thought this would allow us to use one service instead of several for the different things we need.

It has been great. Church engagement is up, I feel the church has all the tools they need to be equipped and informed. We feel we are able to monitor church health effectively. We love Tithe.ly.

Pros

The wide range of products ans features, most of which are connected, and all for a very affordable price.

Cons

There are a few products that are not as connected as they could be. It resulted in duplicate features, which sometimes caused confusion as to which one to use. But the team was great about clarifying that.

This program has allowed us to take donations from a generation of members who don't use check books, and rarely carry cash. People love supporting the church, but the ways to collect that support need to evolve with the times. Tithe.ly has done that for us.

Pros

Tithe.ly provided us with a solution for online giving that passed muster for the bankers in our congregation, which had been a stumbling block for other companies. The security provided, and the options for fund designation make it a fantastic product.

Cons

Occasionally, our members have had issues finding our institution on Tithe.ly's list. When this happens, we usually direct them to our web page, where we have our direct link.

Alternatives Considered

The ease of use, the responsive customer service team, and the fee structure were all better than competitors.
