01The Challenge

What was broken before NetGive

Giving was scattered across Cash App, Venmo, cash and checks — with no single source of truth for what came in, from whom, or for which fund.

Cash App alone was costing roughly $367/month (over $4,400/year) in processing fees, money that should have gone directly to ministry.

There were no automated tax receipts, no donor records, and no giving history — leadership reconciled donations by hand at month-end.

Recurring giving was effectively impossible; members had to remember to send money manually each week.

There was no branded, professional giving experience — donors gave through generic consumer apps that looked nothing like the church.

Reporting was a manual, error-prone scramble of screenshots and spreadsheets whenever the board needed numbers.

02Our Solution

The system we built

We built NetGive — a white-labeled, multi-tenant giving platform where each church gets its own branded giving page, URL, colors and logo.

All giving — one-time and recurring, ACH and card — now flows through a single system with one clean ledger and automatic categorization by fund.

Stripe Connect direct payouts deposit funds straight into the church’s bank account, with platform and processing fees calculated and deducted automatically.

Every gift triggers an automated tax receipt and is written to a permanent donor record — no manual data entry, ever.

A full admin operations console centralizes donations, donors, giving trends, fund designations, settings and one-click CSV exports for bookkeeping.

A platform-level command center lets the operator manage every church, onboard new clients, and see revenue and giving metrics across the entire portfolio.

03Key Features

Everything in one operational system

White-Label Giving Pages

Each church gets a fully branded giving site at its own URL — logo, colors, fund categories. Looks like their app, not a generic platform.

ACH + Card Payments

Bank transfers at 0.8% (capped at $5) plus card support. Stripe Connect routes money directly to the church’s account.

Recurring Giving Engine

Weekly, bi-weekly and monthly auto-giving. Members set it once; payments pull automatically and reconcile themselves.

Admin Operations Console

Real-time dashboard: total giving, monthly trends, payment-method breakdown, ACH savings, and live transaction feed.

Donor CRM

Automatic donor records — total given, gift count, last gift date, searchable. No spreadsheets, no manual entry.

Automated Tax Receipts

Every gift triggers an instant branded email receipt and a permanent giving-history record for tax season.

Fund Designations

Unlimited custom funds — General, Missions, Building, Pastoral Care — so every dollar is tracked to its purpose.

AI Proposal & Document Engine

Generates pixel-perfect branded proposals and itemized invoices on demand — a task that used to take hours.

Reporting & CSV Export

One-click date-ranged exports and visual reports ready for the board, the bookkeeper, or the accountant.

Installable Mobile App (PWA)

Members add the giving app to their home screen — native-feel, offline-aware, no app store required.

Multi-Tenant Platform Control

A platform command center to onboard churches, manage every org, and monitor portfolio-wide revenue and giving.

Self-Serve Payout Onboarding

Churches connect their own bank in minutes through a guided Stripe Connect flow — zero back-and-forth.

04The AI Layer

Intelligence that removes the manual work

Intelligent Fee Optimization

The system continuously calculates the true cost of every payment method and steers giving toward the lowest-fee path (ACH), automatically surfacing exactly how much the church saves on every transaction and in aggregate.

Automated Document Generation

AI-driven document tooling produces fully branded, executive-grade proposals and itemized invoices on demand — collapsing hours of manual formatting into seconds.

Hands-Off Reconciliation

Webhook-driven automation watches every payment event and renewal, writing donations, fees, payouts and receipts to the ledger with no human touch — eliminating month-end manual reconciliation.

Automated Receipts & Notifications

Each gift instantly generates a donor receipt and the right admin alerts, so nothing slips through the cracks and no one chases paperwork.

Operational Intelligence

Real-time metrics — giving trends, donor activity, method mix, savings — turn raw transactions into decisions leadership can act on without waiting for a bookkeeper.
