ParishSOFT Giving encourages parishioners and donors to give more regularly. On average, a parish using ParishSOFT Giving sees an increase in overall giving of 32%
Online Giving
Collect donations easily with your customized giving page for parishioners and donors to access through your website or anywhere you share the link. Donors can also create an account from the giving page and set up recurring giving with selected fund, frequency and amount.
Mobile App
Empower giving in as little as two steps with the ParishSOFT Giving mobile app. Our easy-to-use mobile app allows donors to make one-time gifts or set up recurring giving simply from their iOS or Android device.
Text Giving
There’s no faster way for your members to give than with text giving. Included with your giving plan at no additional cost, this convenient giving solution is an incredible value and a perfect addition to your giving platform.
Flexible and Customizable
We know no parish runs like any other. ParishSOFT Giving provides an online giving solution that is as unique as your parish. Flexible payment options ensure you are in control of your parish’s online giving, so donors can give easily and regularly.
Automatic Recurring
One of the best ways to increase your overall giving and provide forecasting for your parish budget is to encourage recurring giving. Donors set the frequency at which they give and have the choice to give to multiple funds at separate intervals.
Credit, Debit, and ACH
Accept the forms of payment that work for your parish. Limit and expand on what combinations of credit, debit and/or ACH (eChecks) are going to fit into your mission. Donors can also store multiple payment methods and choose the preferred one for each gift.
Branded Interface
Did you know that donors are 7x more likely to donate to a branded donations page vs. an unbranded one? Create your own look and feel with ParishSOFT Giving. Manage multiple missions and funds with custom giving pages with the multi-site support feature. Plus, our branded pages are responsive on all devices for a seamless user experience.
Optional Donor Pay Fees
With ParishSOFT Giving, you have the option to ask your donors to add 2%-3% to their donation to help cover the processing costs by the card issuing banks (Visa, MasterCard, etc.). This option adds a line item to your donor portal and when selected by the donor, automatically calculates the addition to their donation.
Data Tracking and Security
Let ParishSOFT Giving’s powerful control panel help you manage the data from your online giving. Whether you need your giving data to tell a story, to export to another system and to remain as secure as possible, we have you covered.

Get access to virtually hundreds of reports. Most of the reporting you need will come right from your ParishSOFT Giving control panel, where you can view a range of custom reports by person, transaction, fund, and date range.
