What’s Givi? 

Givi is a mobile giving app designed to make supporting your church easy for your congregants. 

With Givi, you can set up a customized giving page that lists the different ways your congregants can support your church. Then, your members can use the Givi app to make online tithes, offerings, and other gifts. 

Why do churches love Givi? 

Churches love Givi because it makes it easy for their members to give in a way that’s convenient to them. Most of your congregants don’t carry cash or checks any more, but they do carry smart phones. Think of Givi as a digital collection plate. With Givi, your congregation can give instantly from their seat, set up recurring gifts, or give whenever they feel inspired to do so. 

Key features for your congregants 

  • Give anytime, anywhere 
    Whether it’s in the pew on Sunday or at home, church giving apps offer your congregants the tools they need to support your work wherever and whenever they’re inspired. 
  • Create personal accounts 
    Your church members can set up personal accounts to manage gifts to your church. These accounts can save payment information, collect giving data, track one-time and recurring gifts, and provide gift receipts. 
  • Enable custom gift levels 
    Make it easy for members to choose a gift amount by creating gift suggestion buttons on your mobile giving form. Be sure to also include a custom gift amount field so your members can give any amount they wish. 
  • Offer recurring gifts 
    With Givi, your congregants can opt to schedule recurring gifts to your church. They can set their preferred gift amount, update their giving schedule, and manage payment methods through their individual profiles. Plus, you can offer different scheduling frequencies for your members to give at the best times for them. 
  • Provide simple multi-restriction giving 
    Allow your congregants to choose which project in the church they want their gift to go to by enabling Givi’s simple multi-restriction giving options. 
  • Offer GiftAssist 
    By toggling on GiftAssist, your members can cover the cost of processing fees to ensure their entire offering is going to your church.
