Introduction: A Church Stuck in Neutral

When Pastor James of Riverbend Church looked at the numbers, he felt what so many church leaders quietly feel: frustration. Donations had plateaued. The offering plates weren’t empty, but growth was stagnant. The board wanted answers. Volunteers were tired of sending manual reminders. And while platforms like Tithe.ly, Pushpay, and Givelify helped collect money, they never actually moved the needle.

That’s when Pastor James discovered Giveable, the AI-powered giving platform designed not just to process donations - but to grow them.

Within just 60 days, Riverbend saw a surge of $14,000 in additional donations, proving what happens when churches stop relying on passive systems and embrace AI-powered giving strategies.

The Old Way Wasn’t Working

For years, Riverbend Church had been using a standard online giving platform. It worked fine for processing payments, but that’s all it did.

The Key Problems They Faced:

• No personalization in donor communication
  
• Manual follow-ups that ate up staff time
  
• Flat recurring donations month after month
  
• No insights into why members gave - or why they stopped
  

It felt like pouring water into a leaky bucket.

Pastor James knew his congregation cared about the mission, but the tools in place weren’t helping members stay engaged.

The 60-Day Transformation

So, how did Riverbend Church go from flat donations to an extra $14,000 in just two months?

Step 1: Free Donation Audit

Giveable ran an audit of past giving records. The AI instantly spotted patterns:

• Dozens of donors had stopped giving six months ago.
  
• Recurring gifts were inconsistent - many members had forgotten to renew.
  
• Sunday-only givers weren’t being engaged during the week.
  

Step 2: Automated Campaigns Launched

Giveable’s AI launched personalized campaigns targeting those groups.

• Former donors received encouragement notes tied to church updates.
  
• Recurring donors were nudged to update their commitment.
  
• Casual givers got invitations to join recurring plans.
  

Step 3: Tracking & Adjustment

The AI tracked engagement, automatically testing which messages worked best. The church team just had to watch the dashboard and celebrate the results.

Real Results That Matter

In just 60 days, the numbers told the story:

• $14,000 in new donations (on top of their regular giving)
  
• 35% increase in recurring donors
  
• 50% boost in campaign engagement
  

Pastor James summed it up best:

“Giveable doesn’t just process donations - it grows them. It feels like we finally have a tool that cares about the mission as much as we do.”

Why Giveable Outshines Tithe.ly, Pushpay, and Givelify

Most giving platforms are like digital offering plates. They do one thing - accept money. But that’s not enough anymore.

The Key Difference:

• Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Givelify → Passive collection tools
  
• Giveable → Active growth engine with AI automation, engagement, and insights
  

It’s the difference between waiting for rain and turning on the irrigation system.
