Fundraising in today’s digital climate is a new terrain for all nonprofit professionals, especially religious nonprofits. In this blog, we will explore a collection of intriguing statistics that shed light on the patterns and trends surrounding tithing in churches. As sacred institutions navigate the intersection of spirituality and financial stewardship, these statistics will unveil valuable insights into the generosity of congregations, the impact on religious organizations, and the evolving landscape of financial contributions. These statistics will help give you a better understanding of the landscape of non-profit fundraising for churches and how implementing a strategy around them will help you increase donor engagement and donations in your organization.

• 8/10 people who give to churches have zero credit debt.: This statistic is a great incentive for your congregation and will encourage them to give more frequently. As religious nonprofits, you know that giving is spiritual and physical, and sharing this statistic with your congregation shows them that their giving will produce a return on investment.

• 60% of givers in churches are willing to give digitally: In today’s digital age, pivoting to a digital model is vital to the survival of your religious organization. Being more inclusive by including digital giving in your fundraising/ corporate tithing efforts is a great way to engage with the younger generation as well.

• About 10 million tithers in the US donate $50 billion yearly to churches & non-profits.: Based on this statistic, US givers are dedicated to giving back and serving their communities. The religious nonprofit industry is a large industry monetarily, and highlighting these statistics in your organization, both to your leadership teams and congregation is a great way to boost donor engagement across the board.

• Churches that accept tithing online increase overall donations by 32%.: This statistic also points to the importance of pivoting towards a digital fundraising model. Giving your congregation multiple avenues to help your organization fundraise helps diversify your fundraising portfolio and give your organization multiple streams of income.

Diversifying Your Fundraising Efforts: 

Tithing in churches has been around for centuries, and this model is not going away anytime soon, but how do you engage with individuals who want to give to your organization outside of monetary giving? Partnering with charitable marketplaces is the next best way to engage with these individuals. A charitable marketplace is a place where individuals can sell their valuables/ products in hopes of raising capital for your organization. It’s a way to get your congregation more intimately involved in the growth of your organization. Mueshi - leading the charge in the nonprofit fundraising industry, is revolutionizing how nonprofits fundraise by partnering brands and businesses with charitable causes and nonprofit organizations for product-based fundraising. You, as religious leaders, now have the opportunity to curate a more intimate connection with your donors and go to new heights in your fundraising efforts.
