Online giving
Online giving pages, pledges, and fundraisers in one place
Create giving pages, run pledge campaigns, coordinate team fundraisers, and publish impact pages. Accept one-time and recurring gifts, record offline donations, and generate tax statements — without juggling separate tools.
How pricing works
No platform fees on top of processing
Stripe charges a small fee to move money — that's the real cost of processing.
Many church platforms add their own cut on top: extra percentages, monthly software bills, and contracts.
ChurchRaise passes Stripe's nonprofit rates through at cost. We don't take a penny of any gift.
For most churches, that means keeping thousands more each year for ministry — not platform margins.
Example: a $2,000 bank gift costs your church $5 with ChurchRaise. On a typical 1% ACH plan, it costs $20. Multiply that across a year of giving and the difference is large.
