Online giving for churches — without Harvest taking a cut
Publish your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links on one giving page. Harvest is never in the flow — no platform fee, nothing held.
Church donation software should not sit between the giver and the church. Most platforms sit between a church and the gift and take 2–5% of it, forever. Harvest does not sit there at all — a member taps the account your church already uses, and the money goes to it. There is nothing for us to route, nothing to hold and nothing to take a share of. You pay a flat subscription and nothing else.
- Paste your own payment links — six providers
- Every link checked against its provider before it goes live
- Record a gift by hand and it posts to your dashboard, accounting and the giver’s history
- One page with every way to give
- No login, on any phone
- Taps straight into the app they already use
A number the whole church can watch.
Run a campaign with a goal, a cover image and a progress bar — on a public page that carries the accounts your church actually uses and opens without an account.
A building fund needs a figure the whole church can see moving. The campaign page carries the total, the goal and the story behind it — and beneath them, the accounts your church already takes gifts through. What comes in you record against the total, so the number on the page is one you can stand behind rather than one a processor decided.
- A goal, a cover image and an end date, set at creation
- Record gifts from your own payment links against the total
- A correction is a negative amount — both entries stay in the trail
- Embed a live campaign in a post on the community feed
- A public campaign page — no login
- Every way your church takes a gift, on the campaign page itself
- A progress bar against the goal, and the days still left
Three hundred families, a thousand dollars each.
A pledge campaign takes the commitment now and follows it until it is met — a ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor, with the status worked out from the numbers.
Churches don't just need a progress bar — they need 300 families committing $1,000 over two years. A pledge campaign tracks exactly that, with a status derived from the numbers, never a stale manual field.
- Chosen at creation — "New campaign" asks Fundraising or Pledge
- A ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor
- Status derived from the numbers: active, fulfilled or lapsed
- A campaign deadline, and a due date on each pledge
- A public pledge page — no login
- Commit an amount now and give it over the months that follow
- A confirmation the moment you commit
One record per person — built automatically.
Register, check in or fill a form and a contact appears with the history attached. One person, one row — deduplicated by email, with every gift you record landing on it. Connect Gmail and email them without leaving the dashboard.
Anyone who's used church software has a database full of duplicate Bob Smiths. Harvest merges app members and manual contacts into one row on a stable link — so a person's giving history never scatters across three records.
The CRM itself is on every plan, Forever Free included; how many people it holds is what scales — 500 on Forever Free, 500 on Individual, 2,000 on Small Team, 4,000 on Ministry.
- Members & manual contacts merged into one list
- Contacts scale by plan: 500 → 2,000 → 4,000
- Connect Gmail and email a contact from their record
- A gift you record posts to their timeline and their total
- Five-stage discipleship pipeline: New → Champion
- Tags you can segment and filter the whole list by
- A single profile that follows them everywhere
- Giving, events, check-ins & forms on one timeline
- Emails you send land from your own address
- Total given & last gift always current
Church accounting trail: every receipt, in one ledger
A ledger of every donation receipt and event ticket Harvest issues, each with its own numbered PDF and a status you can read at a glance.
For a church with a real treasurer, the giving-report request lands every month. Here the answer is already written: every receipt Harvest issued, numbered, dated and exportable.
- Ledger of every donation receipt & event ticket
- Per-receipt status, with the error kept on failure
- A numbered PDF audit trail for every item issued
- A numbered PDF receipt for every gift in the ledger
- Clean records they can file themselves
