The follow-up you'd do if you had the time.
Done for you.
Gifts fail, donors lapse, new givers go unthanked. GivFlow follows up from your church's address and tells you what came of it.

Illustrative sample. Names are not real donors.
GivFlow reads the whole picture before it sends anything.
Giving history, budgets, pledges, joint donors and donor status all go into each decision. So a faithful giver with an expired card gets a quiet card-update note, not a fundraising ask. And when the gift comes back, the follow-up stops.
From your domain
Emails come from your church's address and read like a person wrote them, not a marketing tool.
Your words, your pace
Start with presets we've seen work. Adjust the wording and the number of steps to fit your church.
Stops when it's done
When a donor takes the action, they leave the flow and get nothing more from it. Donors can opt out of any flow.
You get the outcome
Every send and every result is tracked, so you see what worked without building a report.
The nine flows
Recover a failed gift before it's lost.
When a gift fails, 1 in 3 donors stop for the year. GivFlow follows up.
At Bayside, 64% of failed card gifts and 67% of failed ACH gifts came back with GivFlow follow-up, compared with 24% without it.
How failed-gift recovery works →Real church data from the GivFlow app. Totals exact; weekly bars approximate.
A personal thank-you after a first gift, for each budget.
Second giftsFollow up after a second gift and show where giving goes.
Lapsed donorsA warm check-in from a pastor when someone stops giving.
Recurring givingRecurring donors give 4X the gifts and 30–60% more a year.
Processing feesInvite donors to cover fees or give by bank. 0.6% effective fees are achievable.
GenerosityA gentle nudge for donors whose giving hasn't changed in years.
Recovered donorsA thank-you when someone gives again after lapsing, plus a small invitation to give monthly.
Dormant donorsA low-pressure update for donors who haven't given to a budget in 12 months.
See what was sent and what it did.
Every send is counted and every success is tracked, for each budget. You can also see what's scheduled next.
Five flows run for each budget.
New donors, Second gift, Active → Recurring, Recovered donors and Dormant donors follow each budget separately, so every note fits the fund someone actually gives to.
