Benemens connects the donor's giving experience, your staff's day-to-day tools, and secure payment processing — so nothing lives in a spreadsheet or a separate login.
New this month
The latest additions to the Benemens platform.
Let a donor create a gift today but choose when it's processed — a Christmas gift scheduled in November, a tithe timed to payday. Nothing is charged until the date they pick.
Your giving page — and every individual campaign — gets its own scannable QR code and shareable link, ready for a bulletin, a bulletin board, or a text.
Download a CSV of every gift for the month, ready for Excel or your own records — right from the dashboard, any time. Prefer QuickBooks Online? Connect it directly instead.
Add your EIN once and every gift receipt automatically includes IRS-ready language. Donors can generate their own year-end giving statement any time — no request to your office needed.
Turn on Spanish with one setting and donors see the giving page, portal, and their receipts in the language they pick — never guessed, never auto-detected.
Churches can offer PayPal as a giving option alongside card processing, using their own PayPal Business account — boarded onto Benemens the same straightforward way as any other processor.
An optional checkbox on the giving page lets a donor add a small amount so 100% of their intended gift reaches you — rates are set per organization to match what you actually pay, and it's off by default until you turn it on for card, bank, or PayPal gifts.
Cash and checks don't have to live in a separate spreadsheet. Staff log them in seconds, and they show up right alongside every online gift — in the donor's giving history, the CSV export, and their year-end tax statement.
Need to make something right? Admin staff can refund a settled gift straight from the donor's giving history on the dashboard — no processor portal, no support ticket — and the gift is clearly marked refunded for both staff and the donor.
Connect your QuickBooks Online account once, then push settled gifts over as sales receipts with a single click — a real step up from a CSV your bookkeeper re-types by hand.
The donor experience
Your organization's own branded giving page — simple enough for a first-time guest, flexible enough for your most committed recurring donor.
Donors choose weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual giving right on the same page — no separate signup flow.
Returning donors verify with a one-time email code and reuse a saved card — no re-entering numbers every visit.
Donors can see their giving history, manage recurring gifts, and update communication preferences any time, without calling the office.
The staff experience
A dashboard built for whoever's actually running giving day to day — not a generic finance tool repurposed for churches.
Total raised, donor count, average gift, and recurring share for the month — updated as gifts settle, not overnight.
See who gave, how much, and how often, with one click into their full gift history for the month.
Invite staff by email; they sign in with a one-time code sent to their inbox — nothing to reset, nothing to leak.
Reach your congregation directly for appeals and announcements, sent right from the same dashboard. See Give by Text below.
Give by text
Send an appeal straight to a donor's phone with a direct link to your giving page. No app to download, no new login — just tap and give.
Every text appeal carries a direct link to your organization's giving page — donors tap it and complete a gift in under a minute, from wherever they read the text.
Send to your whole opted-in list or just the donors tied to a specific giving campaign, right from the same dashboard your staff already uses for email.
Donors opt in once through their donor portal, and can text STOP any time to unsubscribe instantly or HELP for support — carrier-compliant messaging handled automatically. See our SMS Terms or Text Messaging Program pages.
AI-assisted messaging
Built into the same Text Appeal, Email Appeal, and Announcements composers your staff already uses — describe what you want to say, and let AI handle the first draft and a second look before it ships.
Type a one-line prompt — “ask donors to help finish the roof repair” — and get a ready-to-edit subject and body, tuned for email or SMS automatically.
Before you send, run a quick check for missing opt-out language, high-pressure phrasing, or unclear sender identification — issues are flagged in plain language, not legal jargon.
AI never sends anything on its own. Every draft lands back in your composer for your staff to review, edit, and send — the same way as any other message.
Payments & security
Benemens handles the payment plumbing — tokenization, recurring schedules, settlement — so your staff never touches raw card data.
Benemens is a giving and donor management platform — we are not a payment processor or merchant acquirer, and we never hold your funds directly. Payment processing runs through established, PCI-compliant processing partners, so ISVs and merchants with an existing acquirer relationship aren't locked out.
Reporting & oversight
Whether you're a single congregation or an organization overseeing many, Benemens gives the right person the right view — without extra logins to manage.
One dashboard, your own staff, your own donors.
Roll-up reporting across every site or ministry you oversee.
Every staff member sees exactly what their role allows, nothing more.
Every gift, invite, and account change is logged and reviewable.
We'll walk you through the donor giving page, the staff dashboard, and everything in between.
