Giving isn’t just an administrative or even a financial act – it’s a deeply pastoral and missional action. With this in mind, here's three ways churches can celebrate donors and the work being done through them.

As PayPal has grown, they have branched out into various niche industries to try to expand their business, including the non-profit sector. But are they a good fit for your church or non-profit? Let's take a look.

One of the most important ways a donation management system can help a church grow is by empowering church leaders by organizing data and providing insightful reports.
