With Modern Giver, there’s hardly an easier way for supporters to give with their credit and debit cards.
Using just a smartphone–and without having to install an app–Modern Giver makes it easy for supporters to give financially.
“It’s like putting a credit card terminal in every one of your supporter’s hands.”
Modern Giver was built with simplicity in mind, but it’s robust in features.
Modern Giver
One aspect that really jumps out at me (other than the list of features listed below) is the ability to create specific giving events, as the general giving, “one size fits all” approach is not ideal.
For Example
Using a church as an example, imagine being able to setup both general giving, which would be your typical Sunday-morning-pass-the-plate, and a building fund? Or how about setting up an option for this upcoming Sunday bake sale for your church sponsored missionaries?
There’s a lot of possibilities here, not just churches. Modern Giver is an awesome solution for ministries, non-profits and community organizations, too!

This or Clover?
Eric Dye says
Depends on if you’re already using Clover’s service. I would figure out the top three most important options to your specific use and go from there.
Keith Alberts says
This seems like a nice mobile giving page. Would’t it be better thought, if you had a giving page on your website that was optimized for mobile use?
I also think this fee is a bit high. I’m not sure if there are easy reports for your Administrator also. That’s great if you have many gifts. If it takes hiring someone to manage those, then what’s the point?
Eric Dye says
I think it really comes down to what works best for you. Is this the end-all solution? No, but this could be the perfect tool for the right church, ministry or org.
Dave says
5%?!? No thanks.
Nathan says
Exactly! “Only 5%” – because we’re worth at least 1/2 of what Jesus is, lol. I realize everyone has to make a little profit here, but there are cheaper options out there.
Eric Dye says
True, but often you get what you pay for. 🙂
Eric Dye says
Considering services like PayPal take 3%, this doesn’t seem too terribly high, especially when you consider there’s no signup fees.
Mike says
I think this helps meet a need. At our church, we recently raised funds for a well project in Kenya. I helped setup an online giving process (not mobile friendly) just generic online giving with Fundly. When all was said and done, we were paying 7.9%. 5% isn’t cheap, but I’d take that over 8 any day.
I don’t think this will change the way regular givers give, but would be a great addition for mission events and the like and be a great way to get people outside the church involved. It seems to me that revenue generated from something like this would simply be additive and wouldn’t really take away too much from established giving avenues.
Personally, I think the geolocation stuff (events are tied to addresses and show up to people in that given area) is really cool. (Golf course fundraisers anyone?) The organization backend has a variety of reports that seem to help with the administration too.
In short, we are going to use it at our church, but we are relatively small (100 members) and don’t have the resources to pull off a mobile friendly giving process with our own internal resources.

Thanks for sharing. Like I said to Keith, this isn’t the end-all solution. It depends on what you’re trying to do. 🙂
