A visitor gives once; the church says thank you; a relationship begins. AloraChurch keeps giver records, commitments, recurring gifts, statements, and follow-up in one place, so stewardship becomes visible without adding another weekly admin ritual.
The job
Every committed steward in your congregation started as a visitor with a single gift. The job of giver care is walking people along that path — noticing the first gift, saying thank you well, inviting the next step, and never letting a faithful giver quietly drift away.
One gift, one Sunday — a relationship waiting to begin.
A recurring gift, a familiar name, part of the congregation's rhythm.
Tithes faithfully, takes up commitments, carries the church's mission.
Here's how AloraChurch does that job with you — one record per giver, giving segments that stay current, a self-service portal givers can use, staff-approved journeys, and privacy your board can trust.
One record per giver
Foyer kiosk on Sunday, giving page on Tuesday, a live giving event in December — it's the same person, and AloraChurch knows it. Every gift across every enabled channel creates or updates one unified giver record. No data entry, ever.
Kiosk, giving page, widget, mobile, portal, live giving event — wherever the gift arrives, the profile is created or updated instantly. One person, one record.
Every gift with date, amount, fund, and channel; lifetime totals, giving levels, and lifecycle stage — so the pastor knows whom to thank personally.
Same person, two records? Matching profiles are flagged and merged with the full giving history preserved — and an audit trail of the merge.
Per-giver year-end giving statements and individual receipts, generated from the record — no January spreadsheet marathon.
Segments & lifecycle stages
Segments update themselves as giving behavior changes — nobody maintains a list. Describe who you're looking for in plain language and the AI builds the segment for you.
A first gift in the last 30 days — the moment a visitor becomes part of the congregation, and the moment a warm welcome matters most.
No gift in 90+ days. A gentle, pastoral "we've missed you" — never a collections notice — with an easy way to give again.
Frequent gifts, active recurring gifts, and open commitments — the people to invite to a stewardship dinner or thank with a personal call.
"Members who gave over $100 last year but nothing in 3 months" — type it, and the AI turns it into conditions with a live preview count.

The giver self-service portal
The single biggest gift you can give your office — and your givers. Every giver gets a private "My Giving" space where the things people used to call the church about, they now do themselves.
Passwordless sign-in
A giver enters their email address or phone number, receives a short code, and they're in. Their account was created automatically with their first gift — nothing to register, nothing to remember.
It's built for the whole congregation — including the members who would never reset a password. Your seniors can use it: the same simple code every time, in any browser, on any phone or tablet.
A code by email or phone — the entire sign-in
Pause, resume, or cancel a recurring tithe; change the amount; swap the card — without a call to the office. The giver stays in control of their own faithfulness.
Stewardship-season and building-fund commitments with live fulfillment progress — how much given, how much remains — and the next installment one click away.
Individual gift receipts and per-giver year-end giving statements as PDFs, whenever the giver — or their tax preparer — needs them.
At checkout, givers can choose to cover the processing fees so the full amount of their gift reaches the church.
Lifecycle automation
Journeys help your staff walk each giver through the whole arc: welcome, thank, steward, renew, and win back. Messages can be drafted in your church's voice, and staff stays in control of what sends.
A first gift arrives and a warm welcome series begins — introducing the church's ministries to a brand-new giver.
A tradition-calibrated thank-you within the minute, receipt attached — warm, pastoral, never generic.
Journeys carry a first-time giver toward regular giving — follow-ups, impact updates, an invitation to a recurring gift.
Commitment reminders, renewal alerts, expiring cards flagged — faithful giving kept on track before it slips.
When a faithful giver goes quiet, a gentle win-back message is drafted — and waits for your approval before it sends.
Privacy & trust
Knowing your givers well means guarding what you know. Privacy and accountability are built into the data model — not bolted on.
Givers can mark any gift anonymous at checkout. The gift counts; the name stays quiet — dignity is a setting the giver controls.
The benevolence fund is confidential by design — no public giver wall, role-restricted access for the deacon team, kept separate from general giving. More →
Export-on-request, deletion-on-request, consent tracking. When a giver is deleted, their personal details are stripped from every read path — right-to-erasure honored at the data layer.
Every gift, profile change, and role assignment recorded in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log — re-verified every 6 hours and exportable for your board and auditors.
What changes on Monday
Giver care done well doesn't add work — it removes it. Three standing items come off the office to-do list for good.
Spend January compiling giving statements
Per-giver year-end giving statements are prepared from the same giving record each January — and any giver can download theirs from My Giving, any day of the year.
Field calls to change a recurring gift
Pause, resume, new amount, new card — givers handle it themselves in the portal, and the giver record updates instantly. The office hears about it only if it wants to.
Reset forgotten passwords
Passwordless sign-in means there are no giver passwords — not to forget, not to reset, not to leak. A code by email or phone is the entire sign-in, every time.
