Online Giving FAQ
What is online donations and payments?
Online donations and payments provide a simple and convenient way for parishioners to tithe or contribute gifts for a specific need.. There is no longer a need to locate checkbooks, remember weekly envelopes, or mail in funds. Easily give directly on the parish website, or set up a recurring donor account to give automatically and never miss an envelope again.
What are the benefits of online donations and payments?- Convenient - Give anytime from any device with an internet connection, and even choose to set up an automatic recurring gift account for regular tithing.
- Easy - Never be directed to a separate site or submit multiple forms.
- Effective - Electronic communication confirms all gifts, and recurring gift accounts keep donation records. No more guessing if your gift was received, or misplacing envelopes of checks or cash.
How do I give contributions or tithe?
Visit stjohnmany.org for online donation and payment information as well as a list of current collections taking place. After finding the fund to which you would like to contribute, simply complete the short form on the parish website. You’ll need a current email address and checking account or credit card number.
If you choose to make a recurring gift, you will immediately receive an email to create a donor account you can use to schedule and track automatic giving.
When are my gifts automatically taken from my account?
One-time gifts are immediately processed and the transaction should appear on your bank/credit card statement within a few days.
If you chose to make a recurring gift, your first donation will process immediately. Then, you will receive an email to create an online donor account. Your account allows you to choose the frequency of your gifts as well as a date on which the funds will be automatically withdrawn from a checking account or charged to a credit card. You can also pause or cancel a recurring gift at any time.
Do I receive confirmation or record of my giving?
In order to make an online donation or payment, you must provide a current email address. After submitting your gift, you will receive an email confirmation to the address provided.
If you selected to give a recurring gift, you will receive notification about your gift as well as information to set up your online donor account for future gift scheduling. Records of all recurring gifts are also tracked within your donor account.
What if my bank account or credit card information changes?
Upon submitting a one-time gift, all information provided will be verified in order for the gift to process.
If a donor has a recurring gift, they will be able to log into their online donor account to make any necessary changes or updates to banking account, credit card, and contact information. Donor accounts also allow donors to update any details to their gifts including pausing or cancelling a scheduled gift.
Is it safe? Are there risks?
The online donations and payments system meets the same security standards as online banking. Plus, your online gifts cannot be lost or stolen. So as long as you are using a secure internet connection, (not connected to public wi-fi), online gifts can have fewer risks than carrying cash and checks. And there is instant tracking and recording of all transactions.
What if I try an online donor account but do not wish to continue using it?
Recurring gift accounts can be set up or cancelled at anytime. In addition, an individual recurring gift can be paused or cancelled completely. If you attempt to cancel a gift after it has begun processing, you will need to contact the St. John office for a refund.
How do I sign up for an online donor account?
Accounts are created upon submitting an online gift from the parish website. When submitting a gift, select the gift type to be recurring. Next, you will be sent an email notification to set up your new online donor account. Follow the simple instructions within the email to get started.
Always be sure to check email spam and junk folders for that first email notification. If you don’t see an email after submitting your first gift, simply contact your parish bookkeeper to have account setup information sent to you.
