With worship services moved to the web, many local houses of worship have seen a significant decrease in donations and tithes.

A study from Faithlife Giving found that since the pandemic, churches with an online giving platform were more protected from severe drops in giving (>50 percent drop) than churches with no online giving platform, while 4 percent of churches without an online giving platform saw a 50 percent decrease or greater in total monthly gifts in March.

Join FāVS for a live video chat that will address how to increase online giving. The chat will be at 5 p.m., Thursday, April 16.
