GivingBase.com excels in providing top-of-the-line online donation solutions for all types of organizations and causes, including churches and ministries, non-profits, and political campaigns. Our expert software makes giving easy across the board, giving donors more access, more of the time.
Your organization can easily set up different funds for various projects, so that donors have control over where their money goes, and of course these can be accessed through all of our platforms at any time. So for example, a church could set up a relief fund for disaster, in addition to the main church fund, or even use GivingBase.com to accept payments for activities like camps or retreats. Or a nonprofit that manages multiple charities could set up funds for each one. Since our system is so flexible, how you use it is completely up to you!
Transaction times vary slightly depending on the type of transaction. Funds typically settle in your account in 2-3 business days.
We will never charge you for things like adding categories, customizing your system, or the number of donors you have, and we provide a number of data reports at no cost. However, if you need different types of reports or statistics, you will have to contact us to discuss pricing. We build custom reports ourselves, and while we are happy to do anything we can to help you, sometimes these do require additional fees.
All of your data from GivingBase.com can be downloaded into a .CSV file, which is compatible with most financial software packages. If you are having trouble importing the file into your software, we suggest you contact support for the specific software package you are using.
