A pledge and a received gift.

One building project gift may arrive in several payments.

USD 1,200.00
Still to be receivedNot yet recorded as received
USD 800.00
Recorded receiptUSD 1,200.00

The receipt reflects money that arrived. Retain the designated purpose so the church can explain how it is used.

Built for your church
Churches and projects that receive gifts and report how they are used.

In practice

Try one gift and a related expense.

Record the received amount, its purpose and the supporting expense. Review the documents and report before deciding whether the workflow fits.

Distinguish a pledge from a received gift

Keep track of a promised contribution separately. When the money arrives, record the actual receipt with its date and amount.

  • Record money actually received as income.
  • Retain the purpose of the gift.
  • Attach the supporting document available.

Show how the money was used

Materials, repairs and activities need their own expense entries. Organized gifts and expenses let the team prepare a report and review the detail behind it.

  • Use separate books when a project needs its own accounts.
  • Keep documents with their transactions.
  • Prepare the period report for church review.

Before you start

Is a pledge counted as money received?

In this received-gifts example, it is not. A pledge is 2,000, but only 1,200 has arrived. The recorded receipt is 1,200, with 800 still pending.

Does a financial report replace a tax acknowledgment?

A financial report organizes the church records. Donation acknowledgment and tax requirements depend on the jurisdiction and the organization; confirm them with its accounting adviser.

Do I have to pay to try it?

No. The trial lasts 14 days and requires no card. At the end, you decide whether to subscribe.

Can I use it for a project or ministry?

You can separate the accounts for a building project, ministry or campus and organize its transactions and receipts.

Can we use a phone and a computer?

Yes. The same account works on the web, iPhone and Android. Start your trial here, then sign in to the app.

Does it replace an accountant?

No. It organizes records and reports for your board and accounting professional to review.
