Can our members give recurring tithes through CrowdCreate?

Yes. The widget and hosted page both support one-time and recurring gifts at any cadence the member chooses.

Are gifts through CrowdCreate tax-deductible for our members?

Whether a gift is deductible depends on your church's own tax status, not on us. We don't determine status or issue tax receipts. If your church is eligible to issue them, you issue them from your Stripe records.

Does the money go through CrowdCreate before reaching the church?

No. Gifts go directly into your church's own Stripe account. CrowdCreate never holds the funds and takes 0% of them. Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ per payment goes to Stripe; we charge $20/month flat for the tool.

Best donation widget for churches

For a church or faith group, online giving has to be dependable, easy for members, and honest about cost. The decision is usually between a focused giving widget on your own site and a fuller church-management platform with giving built in. Here's how to choose between them.

What to look for

Recurring giving

Regular tithes and pledges mean recurring donations matter. Check that the tool supports them simply, for both you and your members.

Where the money goes

The cleanest setups send gifts straight to the church's own account. Confirm where funds sit before they reach your bank.

Member records and statements

Some churches need contribution statements and member management. Others just need a giving button. A management suite handles the first; a widget handles the second.

Cost as giving grows

A percentage cut grows with every gift; a flat monthly fee doesn't. For a congregation giving steadily, flat pricing usually costs less over a year.

Why CrowdCreate is a strong pick

CrowdCreate fits a church that wants giving on its own website without a percentage taken from every gift. It's a flat $20 a month, 0% of donations (Stripe's 2.9% + 30¢ per payment applies and goes to Stripe), supports one-time and recurring giving, embeds on your own site, and the money lands in the church's own Stripe account. For a congregation whose main need is a dependable, owned giving button, it's a cost-effective pick.

When CrowdCreate isn't the best choice

CrowdCreate is not the best choice if you need contribution statements, member management, or church-accounting integration — CrowdCreate issues no tax statements and has no member database, so a church-management or dedicated giving platform is the better tool. If those records are part of how your church operates, weigh one of those instead.
