Online giving helps us in a couple of ways. First, it’s simple and easy for our treasurer to enter and track. Second, it helps you with regular stewardship. If you are out of town and you have a recurring gift in E Give, you won’t forget your offering.
Only with your authorization. Nobody can deduct money from your account electronically unless you specifically authorize it.
No. An electronic contribution is safer than writing a check, and it can’t be lost, stolen or destroyed in the mail. To sign up for eGive you are only giving information that is already printed on your check. National laws, rules, and guidelines govern all Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) transactions. Over four billion EFT transactions are processed annually in the United States.
On the eGive online secure giving form or on the paper giving form, you can specify whether you want your contribution made one-time, weekly, semi-monthly, monthly or as designated. When the date you have selected falls on a weekend or holiday, the transaction will occur on the next business day.
Yes. You may test online giving by selecting “One-Time Gift” in the Giving Amount and Date section of the sign up process.
Your contribution is made on a pre-established day, so you can deduct it from your check record then and you will receive a general Email reminder thanking you for giving to Exodus Church each time your giving is posted.
Your bank statement will include an itemized list of automatic gifts given from your account. We will continue to provide you with a personal giving statement for your tax records.
You can change your giving choices at any time, 24 hours a day/7 days a week, through the eGive web site.
If you wish, you can write “I’m giving online” on the giving envelope and place it in the offering basket, but it is not necessary. We have small eGive stickers that you may place on your nametag so others will know you are eGiving and the ushers will bypass you during the offering.
No. Electronic funds transfers carry no bank fees and this service is free.
