Financial Stewardship

Sunday cash, physical checks, and online giving reconciled in one place.

Most giving platforms pretend the offering plate is obsolete. Tent54 provides Monday counters with fast check/cash envelope batch entry, alongside online card giving that deposits straight into your church's bank account through its own Stripe account.

Honest Financial Stewardship

Keep more of every tithe for local ministry.

In smaller churches, every hundred dollars saved in software and credit card fees is money that funds youth camps, benevolence, or pastoral care.

01

Low online fee

Tent54 takes 0.2% of each online gift: $2 on a $1,000 gift. Givers can choose to cover the processing fees. Bank transfers (ACH) are coming. When they arrive, Tent54's fee on a bank gift will be capped at $5.

02

Fast Monday Check & Cash Batches

Your counters type checks and cash with quick number entry. Enter the deposit slip total, and Tent54 shows how far off the count is until it balances. You can hide the total from counters so they count blind.

03

Year-end giving statements

In January, print a statement for every donor at once. Cash, checks and online gifts appear together on one statement.

04

Recurring gifts & giver control

Givers can give once, weekly, every two weeks, monthly or quarterly. Each giver gets a private link to change or stop a recurring gift, with no login and no call to the office.

05

Money roles & honest corrections

Give each person only the access they need: a counter sees only their own entries, a deposit matcher checks deposits, an auditor views without editing, and the treasurer sees everything. A bounced check, a refund or a disputed card gift is reversed with a reason, never deleted, so the books stay honest.

06

Your own giving page & deposits

Set the headline and brand color of your church's giving page, and pause new gifts any time. See each Stripe deposit to your bank and the gifts inside it.

Under-500 Stewardship

Honoring kingdom tithes with capped fees and zero donation taxes

Every dollar given on Sunday represents the sacrifice of faithful members. We believe giving tools should protect those tithes, not tax your church with higher software subscriptions as generosity grows.

  • ✓ Zero Donation Volume Penalties: Receive 50 or 500 donations every month without triggering software tier price jumps.
  • ✓ Low online fee: 0.2% to Tent54, with Stripe's processing fee separate. Givers can choose to cover the fees.
  • ✓ Cash, checks and online gifts together: every gift lands on the donor's one year-end statement.
