Each budget has its own donors, statuses and follow-up.
A budget is a group of funds, like General or Kingdom Builders. Each tracks its own donor life cycle, so every note fits the fund.
Your giving base is growing and well-stewarded.
Real church data from the GivFlow app, rebuilt. Budget name removed.
One family, two statuses
Givers to General since 2021. Last Sunday, their first gift to Kingdom Builders. GivFlow sends the Kingdom Builders welcome. They don't get the "new to our church" email.
Family: sample.
Seven statuses. Tracked for you.
Every donor unit has a status in each budget. GivFlow updates it as gifts come in, and the flows use it to decide who hears what.
Gave to this budget for the first time.
Came back for a second gift.
Giving regularly to this budget.
Gives now and then, not on a regular pattern.
Was giving, and has stopped. A pastoral opportunity.
Lapsed, then came back.
Excluded from follow-ups automatically.
About failed gifts
"Failed" isn't a budget status. It belongs to a single donation, and the failed gift flow handles it.
Its own follow-up
Five flows run per budget, so a first gift to Missions gets a Missions thank-you, not a "new to our church" email.
Joint donors counted once
Track by individual or joint donor unit, so one spouse giving for the first time isn't treated as new.
Its own report
See each budget's donors and statuses without exporting anything or building a spreadsheet.
Donor tiers: see who's giving more, or less.
Within each budget, GivFlow places every giving unit in one of five tiers based on their trailing 12 months of giving, and tracks how that changes over time. You see who is moving up and who is slipping.
- Set your own tier ranges
- Preview the distribution in settings before you add them
- Individual or joint donor units, per budget
Five flows follow each budget's donors.
Each one watches a budget's statuses and sends the note that fits, from your church, in your words.

Every note comes from your church, and every reply reaches a person.
- Replies go to who you choosePick the reply-to person for each flow, like a pastor or your finance lead. Donors can always reach someone.
- Unlimited sendersCreate as many senders as you need, each with its own display name and signature.
- Context before it sendsGivFlow reads giving history, budgets, pledges and donor status first, so each note fits the person.
- Inactive donors are left outDonors marked Inactive are excluded from follow-ups automatically.
Let GivFlow do the follow-up. You keep the relationships.
See what your church's giving is telling you, and what GivFlow would follow up on first. Fifteen minutes, no pressure.
