Free to download and easy-to-use on any supported device, apps have helped religious organizations move away from cash-only events and accept gifts using other payment methods.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Text fundraising tools<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Qgiv\u2019s&nbsp;Mobile Suite platform is an event planner\u2019s dream. Not only can you set up a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/text-fundraising-for-churches\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text fundraising<\/a>&nbsp;keyword that your congregants can text to make gifts from their phones, you can use those same tools for event communications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile Suite also includes a helpful screencast tool called&nbsp;FundHub&nbsp;Live that you can broadcast to attendees during your event. Plus, when they give using your text fundraising keyword, congregants can see their gifts on the&nbsp;FundHub&nbsp;Live screen, so they know their donation was received.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The peer-to-peer platform<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/peer-to-peer-fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">peer-to-peer platform<\/a>&nbsp;houses a lot of tools for church event planning and management.&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;create a customizable fundraising page, build&nbsp;an event store to sell branded merchandise,&nbsp;and&nbsp;even&nbsp;enable tools your fundraising participants can use to raise funds on your behalf.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you can create registration packages, offer early bird discounts, and create promo codes for discounted admissions to&nbsp;religious&nbsp;events.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many religious organizations have also used the peer-to-peer tools as a platform for supporters to host their own DIY fundraisers for&nbsp;your faith-based nonprofit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reports for tracking registrations, fundraising progress, and more<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to make a church fundraiser more successful is through analysis of past performance.&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;offers reports to&nbsp;help track your progress while the event is ongoing or compare your event against past events to see where you can make improvements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qgiv\u2019s&nbsp;data tools include the ability to run reports for many different aspects of your events. The registration report, for instance,&nbsp;offers a quick view of&nbsp;who registered for your event, their contact information, and other event details you need. And the&nbsp;peer-to-peer&nbsp;store reports make it easy to see which items are the most attractive to your guests.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your event has specific reporting needs, there\u2019s also the ability to create your own custom reports so you can access the data you need without pulling several different reports&nbsp;or re-entering complex sets of filters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Integrations to make donor and event data portable and boost fundraising<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, just having reports and access to your donor and event data isn\u2019t enough.&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;has built integrations with leading software for nonprofits and&nbsp;faith-based organizations&nbsp;to make church event planning and management easier on your staff.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some notable integrations specific to religious nonprofits include&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fellowshipone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fellowship One<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchcommunitybuilder.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Church Community Builder<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;offer integrations with CRMs, email service providers, and accounting software, your&nbsp;organization&nbsp;can also benefit from fundraising integrations that help you raise more.&nbsp;For a complete list of services that integrate with&nbsp;Qgiv, check out our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">integrations page<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matching gifts integrations<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Your&nbsp;fundraising events&nbsp;can raise a lot more if supporters apply for matching gifts. This can double, and even sometimes triple, the original value of their contribution.&nbsp;Qgiv\u2019s&nbsp;matching gifts integrations with leading matching gifts solutions&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/impact.cybergrants.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CyberGrants<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doublethedonation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Double&nbsp;the Donation<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hepdata.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HEPdata<\/a>, put the power to&nbsp;apply for matching gifts directly on your event pages. When congregants complete their gifts, they can go directly into the matching gift process afterward. This helps you raise more money and is convenient for your supporters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facebook fundraisers integration<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Facebook fundraisers integration offers another great way to grow your peer-to-peer fundraising. When planning a peer-to-peer event, enable Facebook fundraisers so your fundraising participants can set up a Facebook fundraiser&nbsp;that links back to their personal fundraising page in&nbsp;Qgiv. They can track their overall progress in&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;even while receiving donations via their Facebook fundraiser. The best part? Fundraising dollars raised by individuals on Facebook can be reflected in your event thermometer&nbsp;in&nbsp;Qgiv!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best email service providers for churches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not enough to just have a great fundraising and event management tool. Those tools can be made more effective with the right support software. For&nbsp;instance, the email service provider you use can be helpful in making event communications easy. Having a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/bright-idea-post-event-communications-on-your-event-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">solid communication plan<\/a>&nbsp;in place is essential for&nbsp;faith-based&nbsp;event planning. The following email service providers are the best for churches who want to use email in their event communication strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mailchimp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MailChimp-Logo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"405\" height=\"141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MailChimp-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"The mailchimp logo, which is a winking monkey wearing a hat to the left of the business name.\" class=\"wp-image-24424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MailChimp-Logo.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/MailChimp-Logo-300x104.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our&nbsp;top choices&nbsp;for email service providers is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/features\/email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mailchimp<\/a>.&nbsp;They\u2019re an email marketing solution that offers a free plan that smaller nonprofits can use at no cost.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their free plan includes a contact list of up to 2,000 individuals and one email audience. That said, if you&nbsp;use&nbsp;segmented lists or have multiple audiences&nbsp;you may need to opt for a higher tiered plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Mailchimp, you not only gain access to an intuitive, drag and drop email builder, you also get a custom Mailchimp domain for professional emails,&nbsp;a website builder tool, landing pages and forms, and access to their Creative Assistant. That\u2019s all included on the free plan. At higher plans, you also gain email testing tools, real-time analytics,&nbsp;access to a wider collection of email templates,&nbsp;and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also integrate your Mailchimp account with&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;to sync over your supporters as contacts!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constant Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Constant-Contact-Logo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"416\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Constant-Contact-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Constant Contact logo, which is two Cs to the left of their business name.\" class=\"wp-image-24423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Constant-Contact-Logo.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Constant-Contact-Logo-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great option is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.constantcontact.com\/\">Constant Contact<\/a>. Constant Contact&nbsp;offers a lot of similar features to Mailchimp. They offer a free 60 day trial of their email marketing tools, and have plans starting at $20\/month.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the basic email plan, three users from your organization can use the software to create and send emails about your fundraising events. The size&nbsp;of your contact list isn\u2019t limited, which is great for larger religious organizations. Plus, they\u2019ve got real-time email analytics as well, so you can gauge performance of your email sends from the moment they&nbsp;get sent out.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qgiv&nbsp;also has a Constant Contact integration so importing your contacts from&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;into Constant Contact is easy!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other powerful email marketing tools for your consideration are <a href=\"https:\/\/myemma.com\/\">Emma <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignmonitor.com\/\">Campaign Monitor<\/a>. Both integrate with&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;and can help you craft stunning event emails to grow your church fundraisers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best livestreaming services for faith-based fundraising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For hybrid and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/resources\/virtual-event-planner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">virtual events<\/a>, livestreaming festivities is a must. Livestreaming an event gives virtual attendees the ability to take part in an event in real time even if they can\u2019t attend in person.&nbsp;There are a lot of available options when choosing a livestream provider. You can opt for free livestreaming with Facebook Live or YouTube Live or a paid subscription with a livestreaming software company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facebook Live<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Facebook-f-Logo.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Facebook-f-Logo-150x150.png\" alt=\"The Facebook logo, which is a lowercase F in Facebook's unique font with a blue background.\" class=\"wp-image-24421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Facebook-f-Logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Facebook-f-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Facebook-f-Logo.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our pick for the best livestreaming service for church event planning and management is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/formedia\/solutions\/facebook-live\">Facebook Live<\/a>. Why? There are three important reasons we ranked this livestreaming tool over their competitors. First, Facebook Live is free to use, which is great for your event budget. Second, your participants can raise funds on Facebook while watching and engaging in your event livestream on one platform. Third, you can&nbsp;broadcast the Facebook Live livestream on your Facebook event page and via the video widget in your&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;events! That means that no matter where participants are, they can take part in the event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that when you finish your Facebook Live broadcast, a recording is made of the livestream that you can share to your social media accounts for those who miss your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YouTube Live<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/YouTube-Logo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/YouTube-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube logo, which is a play button to the right of their business name.\" class=\"wp-image-24420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/YouTube-Logo.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/YouTube-Logo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gBrmnB5aOSI\">YouTube Live<\/a> is another free livestreaming service powered by the YouTube platform. Similar to Facebook Live, livestreams made with YouTube live can be shared on&nbsp;Qgiv&nbsp;event pages. Plus, when you finish livestreaming, YouTube Live will create a video you can share to social media for event recaps for those who missed your event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, you can\u2019t fundraise directly on YouTube and neither can participants, which is why it isn\u2019t the top pick for livestreaming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other great choices for livestreaming include,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitch.tv<\/a>, which a free livestreaming platform geared toward the video game community. You could also use virtual meeting software like&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotomeeting.com\/webinar\/webcast-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GoToMeeting<\/a>&nbsp;to livestream events if your church is already using these tools for meetings or to broadcast services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best software solutions for selling event merchandise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Qgiv\u2019s&nbsp;peer-to-peer and auction event stores can be a great way to raise funds for your organization.&nbsp;But if you don\u2019t want to pre-purchase and store event merchandise yourself, there\u2019s a great solution for that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonfire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bonfire-logo.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"440\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bonfire-logo.png\" alt=\"Bonfire business logo, which is a flame reminiscent of a flower to the left of their business name.\" class=\"wp-image-24418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bonfire-logo.png 440w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bonfire-logo-300x123.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonfire.com\/\">Bonfire<\/a> is a unique software solution that lets you design and sell merchandise directly on its platform. You get your own Bonfire store for your church and don\u2019t have to purchase and store inventory. Instead, you send the link to&nbsp;your shop to your event participants. They can browse and buy merchandise&nbsp;during your campaign. When your campaign ends&nbsp;Bonfire handles&nbsp;the creation and shipping of products for you. Then, they&nbsp;send you the profits from your merchandise sales. That makes merchandise sales easy to reconcile after your event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teespring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Teespring-Logo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"453\" height=\"153\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Teespring-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Teespring Logo, which is a spring to the left of their name.\" class=\"wp-image-24416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Teespring-Logo.jpg 453w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Teespring-Logo-300x101.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/teespring.com\/\">Teespring<\/a> is a similar service to Bonfire. You can create your own custom t-shirts&nbsp;and other merchandise, open your store, and even integrate that store with&nbsp;your&nbsp;social media&nbsp;account.&nbsp;Teespring is unique in that it caters itself to social content creators, but you can still use them for an event store to sell branded gear.&nbsp;They print and send the orders on your behalf so, like Bonfire, you don\u2019t have to worry about managing a large inventory of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promotion Resource Group<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PRG-Logo.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"432\" height=\"116\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PRG-Logo.png\" alt=\"Promotion Resource Group logo, which consists of a pegasus constellation to the left of their business name.\" class=\"wp-image-24415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PRG-Logo.png 432w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/PRG-Logo-300x81.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A third option is <a href=\"https:\/\/prgstore.ca\/\">Promotion Resource Group<\/a>\u2019s Pop Up Shop feature. This Canada-based company offers nonprofits to select merchandise to add their branding to. These curated items can then be sold&nbsp;with a virtual pop up shop.&nbsp;That shop can be set up to accept coupons and pricing can be set to ensure you earn a profit when items are purchased. Like Teespring and Bonfire, orders placed in a virtual Pop Up Shop are printed and shipped from Promotion Resource Group so you don\u2019t have to manage inventory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right church event&nbsp;planning and&nbsp;management software, your&nbsp;fundraisers can save you time and money while boosting your fundraising efforts.
