Essential Understanding of Electronic GivingEssential Understanding of Electronic Giving

● Contributors using a form of electronic contributions tend to give more than contributors who give through traditional means. Communities using myEoffering has witnessed giving increases of over 50%. This increase occurs because contributors have an opportunity to consciously plan and pray for the amount in which they contribute NOT give whatever is left in the checkbook or pant pockets on Sunday morning. Research shows that those who plan and give their gifts monthly give 40% more than those who give whatever they want or can on a week-to-week basis.

● Prayerful consideration of giving to God first and seeing their contribution as more of an obligation enable contributors to witness a powerful sense of stewardship.

● Consistent giving allows church communities the ability to better plan and consciously spend.

● myEoffering allows for steady income throughout vacation season or snowbird season which ordinarily would have seen a significant decrease in donor participation.

● Donors that give electronically, give through myEoffering because it is more efficient for their household. Many donors pay their bills electronically (ACH) and/or through credit cards and use only a check for their church contribution.

● Donors can use their credit card. Although no church community supports donor debt, many families prefer to use credit cards in a responsible manner. Many prefer the security, ease of bill paying or simply collect reward points. Statistics show greater than 65% of electronic donors use credit cards and tend to give 2-3% more than ACH givers.

● Donors can customize their own method of giving based on how they receive their income. (ex biweekly, semimonthly or monthly)

● Donors can manage all of their giving at one time. They can plan and designate their contributions for all weekly collections, extra church collections and tuition at the same time that they pledge their regular Offertory gift.

Benefits for the DonorBenefits for the Donor

Do you have a large number of donors who embrace modern technology?

Nearly all young adults and most working adults are comfortable using moderntechnology. Most say an electronic form of contribution will be the only form ofcontribution in the future and check writing will not be an optional form ofcontribution. myEoffering provides an avenue for those parishioners alreadycomfortable with this form of giving and bill paying.

Does your church community have a large number of donors who give inconsistently?

If your church community is like most, you have a large percentage of donors who only give 35-40 weeks per year. Imagine the impact if those donors maintained their giving throughout a 52 week year. During initial set-up, donors make a private and prayerful determination as to their financial support of their church community. Ordinarily, that contribution is evaluated by the monthly sacrifice. Once that financial sacrifice is determined, the donor simply multiplies that monthly sacrifice x the months throughout the year. In our busy world, most church communities cannot achieve this level of consistency without the option of electronic contribution.

Do you have a mobile church community?

Today, our society is extremely mobile. Students go away to college, families travel to vacation destinations, retired folks prefer to reside in warmer climates, and many families travel to visit relatives or friends and attend another church community. All of these factors add up to loss of income for your church community. If your church community faces these very typical challenges, then myEoffering could be very helpful in capturing additional income.

What if your church community opts to offer myEoffering and youwitness limited to no participation?

myEoffering witnesses both young donors and elderly donors participating. Many of these donors may be ones that receive their income electronically, pay their bills electronically or opt to do their banking electronically. Each church community will witness different levels of interest and participation. myEoffering also encourages a simple unofficial survey asking donors their level of interest and what they might want to see in their electronic giving program.
