Continue to Give vs FaithStreet Giving

Continue To Give brings online giving, donor and church management, event registration, newsletters, texting and fund accounting into one service for churches, nonprofits and missionaries. Its stated focus is on organisations raising under $500,000 per year. Giving methods include text, app, kiosk, QR code, Facebook, peer-to-peer and online donations. Management features include donor records, customizable dashboards, forms, communications, pledge management, events, reporting, small-group sign-up, child check-in and task management. Fund accounting tools cover registrar transactions, journal entries, fund transfers, bank imports, matching contributions to bank batch deposits and accounting reports. The service supports recurring and one-time gifts, campaign pages, tax receipts, text-to-give, mobile giving and a donor portal. A Gold plan is listed at $29 a month, with transaction rates also specified; other plans list transaction fees or have no price listed. The site says there is no setup fee, monthly fee, contract or credit-card requirement to get started, though a minimum discount fee may apply to mobile giving. It runs on Android, iOS and web.

FaithStreet Giving provides churches with online and mobile tools for collecting and tracking donations. Givers can make one-time gifts or set recurring gifts for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedules, using a credit card, debit card, or bank account. Giving is available through the web, mobile app, or text message. Churches can create shareable campaigns, set and track pledges or goals, and provide tax receipts. Reports cover giving totals, trends, giver activity, and other details, with weekly summaries by email. The service lists integrations with Church Community Builder, Fellowship One, RockRMS, and Planning Center Online, and can connect with a church website or Facebook page. Churches can have unlimited administrators and fund designations. FaithStreet says its banking partner is Level-1 PCI compliant, that it uses three levels of web security, and that it does not store sensitive payment information. Givers can cover transaction fees by default or by choice. Pricing is available on request; subscriptions include monthly, annual, and lifetime arrangements, as well as a one-time payment option.
