Online Giving
First, it needs to be said that often too much hope is put into
web sites without understanding what it takes to make them an effective portal
for donations. Giving is personal (especially recurring) and if your organization
is not (1.) highly visible, (2.) have a predominantly "under forty-five" audience
or (3.) have effective web site marketing (ministry focus, email campaigns and
links, advertising, search engine positioning etc.) then you may be a little
disappointed. Most ministries receive a giver's financial information from paper
forms (mailings, meetings, dinners and in person). Our non-web tools may actually
make the telephone a great source of donations because they can take any kind of
donation without the web. In any case, be aware of this issue.
The donation page is designed to compliment your web site look.
It is personalized with leadership picture and quote of appreciation and
direction. Our secure server, a dual-drive, dual battery backup system hosted
in the Westin building in Seattle is 128 bit encrypted. Your givers will sense
they are on your web site (comfort) and are entering donations that will go to
you (unlike eCommerce systems). Multiple "asks" or needs can be encoded simply
from explanation pages on your website. The gift purpose (and amount if desired)
pass through to our form. Your givers can also manually enter a purpose for
the gift. This way you control your changing needs from your website.
You will receive an email from the server noting a new donation. The secured
information routes to an "/admin" page, user/password protected. There you
may retrieve checking, savings and credit card information from your donors
and input it into your CheckFree EFT Web account either automatically o
r manually (your choice). You may adjust text and routing addresses in the
system. This is a free service donated to you from our ministry.
The system is hosted by us so your organization will receive updates
in donation page improvements as they are developed.
After applying for the page, sending necessary art and text, we will load
it on the server, apply art and send you instructions on its use and encoding
for your webmaster. The online system is created by PWG Design in
Mount Vernon WA. Egiving Systems is customer service source at 888-780-4483.
