Giving Has Changed—Your Tools Should Too

Church giving has changed dramatically in the last decade. Fewer people carry cash. Checks are fading out. Even debit cards are becoming less common as digital wallets take over.

And yet, in the moments when someone feels prompted to give—a worship moment, a mission update, a story shared from the stage—many churches unintentionally create friction:

  • “You can give by visiting our website…”
  • “Text this short code…”
  • “Scan this QR code… if your camera focuses…”
  • “Download the app…”

Even small steps can break the moment and interrupt generosity.

That’s why tap-to-give technology has exploded in the nonprofit world. And now, with Tithely Tap, churches get a tap-to-give solution designed specifically for ministry—simple, instant, and accessible to everyone in your congregation.

What Is Tithely Tap?

Tithely Tap is a small NFC-powered disc you can place anywhere in your church—seatbacks, lobbies, welcome centers, offering plates, kids check-in desks, and more. Churches use Tap to welcome visitors, simplify giving, and boost engagement.

When someone taps their phone to the disc, they’re instantly taken to a page on your website that you get to choose.

  • No apps.
  • No accounts.
  • No extra steps in between.

How It Works

  1. Church places Tap discs in key areas
  2. Attendee taps their phone
  3. Giving form or next step page opens instantly

Because Tap is included with every Tithely Giving account, there are no added monthly costs—just order the discs and start tapping.

The Psychology of Spontaneous Giving

People give when their hearts are stirred—not necessarily when planned. That emotional generosity moment is brief and easy to miss.

Whether it’s a story of redemption, a moving worship song, or a call to action for a mission trip—friction kills momentum.

Tithely Tap removes the pause, so people can:

  • Tap → Give → Done

This technology keeps the emotional connection alive—and supports generosity when it’s felt most deeply.

5. Watch Giving Grow
