Make giving easy and keep every fund accounted for
Congregations give on the weekend, online and through pledges, and each gift may belong to a different fund. With Finli from your bank or credit union, members give from a link, gifts are tracked by fund, and the money settles in your organization's own account.
What gets in the way
Gifts for many purposes
General, building, missions and benevolence funds each need tracking, and restricted gifts must go where donors intended.
Statements that take weeks
Compiling year-end giving statements from envelopes, checks and online gifts can take the church office weeks.
Giving platforms hold the data
Many giving apps keep both the money and the donor records outside the organization's banking relationship.

For banks and credit unions
Congregations keep operating accounts plus building and benevolence funds that can grow for years ahead of a project. A branded giving program keeps gifts and donor records at your institution instead of a giving platform's merchant account, and growing campaign balances lead naturally to money market and construction financing conversations.
