From key strategies to accelerate your church fundraising to the tools necessary to do so, keep reading to learn more about how Donorbox MinistryMomentum's robust tools help you raise more from your community.
Your church needs sufficient funds to reach out to communities and families in crisis while supporting your pastoral staff for the passion and sacrifice they make daily. Donorbox MinistryMomentum helps you increase your tithes and offerings with dynamic tools and services specifically tailored to your church’s fundraising needs.
In this article, we’ll elaborate on Donorbox MinistryMomentum, how it works, and the range of powerful tools it offers your church.
Donorbox MinistryMomentum is a pillar of Donorbox, specifically focused on church giving. With it, we aim to develop and offer efficient tools, features, and services that will make faithful giving to your church easy, seamless, and quick – both in person and online!
Get Started with Donorbox MinistryMomentum
Many churches – irrespective of their sizes – struggle with getting tithes and offerings. In fact, only 5.25% of all church-givers give weekly. But interestingly, they contribute 30.63% of total church donations.
What if you could increase the number of weekly givers – and the weekly giving amount for each? This is where Donorbox MinistryMomentum comes in!
Our range of dynamic and proven tools, such as Recurring Giving, QR codes, Text-to-Give, QuickDonate™, Donorbox Live™ Kiosk, Events, and Peer-to-Peer Fundraising will empower your church to collect more tithes and love offerings. We also have a native integration with Rock RMS (more on this later) to ensure you can easily connect with a church management system as you fundraise with Donorbox.
And, with Donorbox Premium, your church can get personalized support, including expert fundraising coaching and a dedicated account manager, priority tech support, and a premium suite of integrations to raise more funds.
Donorbox Recurring Donations enables you to add up to four different recurring giving intervals on the tool to your church donation form, including:
And one-time.
In addition, you can highlight the preferred giving frequency with a heart icon next to that interval and also set one of them as default. This lets your community know how they can have the greatest impact on your church!
Your givers can select the frequency and the giving amount that suits them best. They can also designate funds, make tribute donations, leave their valuable comments, and more with your recurring donation form.
Here’s an example of an online tithing form created on Donorbox by the Grace United Methodist Church.

When you create a fundraising campaign on Donorbox, your church gets a free all-purpose QR code automatically generated for that campaign. You can download your QR code to easily redirect church members to your online donation form.
The best part about the Donorbox QR code is that you can customize the link to suit your needs. This means that if you need to redirect your church givers to somewhere other than your church donation form, you’re free to do that as well.
Use your QR code in your church lobby and at your events, or on campaign marketing materials to encourage quick and convenient giving at your church.
Look how simple it is to customize your campaign QR code on Donorbox. Check out our in-depth article for step-by-step instructions on how to customize your QR code.

Donorbox Text-to-Give makes it possible for your congregation to give to your church via quick text messages from their smartphones.
All you have to do is enable Text-to-Give on Donorbox and find unique campaign IDs for your campaigns on the tool. You can choose from two different Text-to-Give plans. Our Short Code plan gives you a custom keyword for your campaign and an easy-to-remember texting number.
Then, share the campaign ID (or the keyword) and the texting number with your congregants. They will text and receive a mobile-friendly donation page link to give to your church. It’s easy, convenient, and quick!
Repeating donations is even easier. All your church members need to do is text a keyword – no need to visit the donation page again!
Text-to-Give also helps you target your younger church members, providing them with alternative ways to give other than cash. Engage them with this innovative tool and turn them into regular givers!
See how Harvest Child Care Ministries utilizes Donorbox Text-to-Give’s Short Code plan to make giving easy with their online donation form.

At Donorbox, we understand that every donation to your church makes a difference – including those one-time donations! With Donorbox QuickDonate™, your one-time givers can save their information on your donation form and repeat their gifts in the future without having to fill in the donation form again.
Your donors will receive their login details after making their first donation to your church. They can make repeat donations to your campaign by visiting the Donor Portal and using our QuickDonate™ feature to streamline the process.
Learn more about QuickDonate™ in this short video and read our guide for detailed insights.

Donorbox Live™ Kiosk helps streamline in-person fundraising at events and at your church! Turn your tablet or Android smartphone into a mobile giving kiosk, allowing your church to make cashless donations with a single tap, dip, or swipe using their credit/debit cards or digital wallets.

Donorbox Live™ Kiosk supports 17 languages, allowing you to accept donations from a wider donor pool. You can also add donation designations, set minimum or maximum donation amounts, and collect valuable donor information (names, email addresses, phone numbers, and mailing addresses).
Plus, ask donors to subscribe to your mailing list for future outreach, and enable U.K. Gift Aid (if your church is based in the U.K.) to collect an extra 25% on top of every qualifying donation!

Fellowship and celebrations are a crucial part of church life. From live concerts to Sunday lunches to Christmas plays to breakfast fundraisers, it takes a lot to plan and execute each and every event. Donorbox Events makes your job easier, with simple and quick online ticket sales.
Our event pages are easy to set up and customize with text, images, videos, and a background image. Add unlimited ticket tiers and include ticket quantities on your ticketing form. We also help you set the tax deductible amount for each tier by automatically calculating it when you input the fair market value and the tax rate.
Embed your ticketing form on your church website, so you don’t need to redirect people away from it and can still generate revenue through effective ticket sales. Or, host it for free on Donorbox!
Simplify the check-in process by scanning a secure QR code or typing in the unique code on each guest’s ticket. Your church can also easily accept your attendees’ preferences through the ticketing form and let them make donations right from it.

Donorbox Peer-to-Peer lets you empower your church to boost your campaign outreach by sharing it with their individual networks while multiplying donations to your church.
You can turn any campaign you’ve created on Donorbox into a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign at the toggle of a switch.
Invite your church members directly from the tool to customize their own fundraising pages to raise money that supports your church’s programs. Or, allow anyone to sign up and help you fundraise by adding an “I want to fundraise for this” button to your campaign.
You can still review and approve requests. All donations from your supporters’ campaigns go directly to your original campaign.
