# Tithely


> Tithely (also known as Tithe.ly) is a unified church technology platform — giving, church management, custom apps, websites, and messaging — built to help churches "Simply Serve™" by removing administrative busywork so leaders can focus on ministry.
Tithely is a private company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, serving more than 53,000 churches worldwide. It was started in 2012 when co-founder Dean Sweetman had the idea to bring mobile ordering-style convenience to church giving, and began scaling in 2014 with co-founders Frank Barry and Steve Klein. In 2021 Tithely acquired Breeze ChMS, which is now fully integrated as Tithely Church Management. Tithely does not provide investment, legal, tax, or general-ledger accounting services — it is church software, not a financial institution.


## Who Tithely Is Built For
Tithely serves churches, ministries, and church plants that want to run giving, admin, and member engagement from one connected platform rather than stitching together separate tools. The platform is particularly well-suited for:
- Small churches and church plants that need free, no-contract digital giving to get started (no credit card required)
- Growing churches that want giving and people/church management combined in one admin system
- Churches that want a fully branded mobile app and/or custom website without hiring developers
- Multi-campus churches that need to track giving and attendance across locations
- Large churches (2,000+ attendees) that need negotiated processing rates, a dedicated Customer Success Manager, and premium onboarding
- Churches outside the U.S. — Tithely supports givers in the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand
- Churches migrating off PayPal, EasyTithe, Pushpay, Planning Center, Subsplash, or a standalone ChMS who want giving, people data, and communication in one system


Tithely is not designed for organizations that need a full general ledger/accounting system (it exports CSVs for your GL), a dedicated CRM outside the church context, or investment/financial planning services.


## Core Offering
Tithely provides one platform, sold either as standalone products or bundled into a single "All-Access" plan, covering online and mobile giving, church management (formerly Breeze), a custom-built mobile app, a website builder, and church-wide messaging.

Note: Tithely's blog draws substantial search traffic on broad Christian-living topics (prayers, hymns, Bible verses, sermon topics) in addition to product-specific content — this is a top-of-funnel content strategy distinct from its core giving/ChMS product search terms (e.g., "tithely login," "church management software," "online giving for churches").
