Create a COVID Assistance or Care Fund

Idea: Create a COVID Assistance or Care Fund for those who find themselves struggling with food, material or financial insecurity due to the impacts of COVID. Donations can be given out via gift cards.

Faith Direct

Idea: “COVID-19’s financial impact on churches is proving to be significant, as fewer in-person services have lowered giving income. In response to these concerns, there is now an increased use of online giving among church communities. Churches and parishes with robust online giving options established before the pandemic have had the greatest success in inspiring their members to continue and even increase their giving. But many churches are now using online giving for the first time and must confront the need to help members better understand the importance of making online and recurring gifts.” (Faithdirect.net)

WeShare

Idea: “Between paying bills, establishing ministry programs, and coordinating events, parish staff members have a lot on their plates. Plus, they are inundated with donations and payments for programs. But with WeShare, your parish staff can easily collect, manage, and track all donations and payments in one place. And with online giving, cash flow is more consistent throughout the year, helping your parish plan.” (WeShare.com)

Idea: “Online Giving provides a convenient way for parishioners to make financial contributions, and it relieves church staff from managing secure bank account information at the same time. Administration is simple and easy. Online Giving automatically integrates with OSV Church Manager and can export data for updating records in virtually any parishioner data management system so contributions are recorded and attached to parishioner records.” (OSV.com)
