Keep more of every gift for ministry.

From Riverbend ChurchSample
A small change that helps your gift go further

Hi Jen,

Thank you for giving to Riverbend. Card payments carry a processing fee. If you’d like, you can cover it, or give by bank transfer, so more of your gift goes to ministry.

No pressure at all. Thank you for your generosity.

Update my gift
Sample. Replies go to the person your church chooses.

0.6% is achievable

With more donors covering fees or giving by bank, an effective fee rate of 0.6% is achievable.

More for ministry

Every point of fees saved stays with the work donors meant to support.

No pressure

One clear explanation and one easy link. Donors decide.

Every note comes from your church, and every reply reaches a person.

  • Replies go to who you choose
    Pick the reply-to person for each flow, like a pastor or your finance lead. Donors can always reach someone.
  • Unlimited senders
    Create as many senders as you need, each with its own display name and signature.
  • Context before it sends
    GivFlow reads giving history, budgets, pledges and donor status first, so each note fits the person.
  • Inactive donors are left out
    Donors marked Inactive are excluded from follow-ups automatically.
