Awhile back I built a tool for my church to accept donations online. I later learned that 85% of donations in churches are given offline, and most churches don't interact with their members (or future members) online effectively. Enter Addo.
Key v0.1 features:
1. Accept donations via Dwolla, where transaction fee is $0.25. Way less than other payment processors.
2. Super simple "dashboard" showing donations in intervals (weekly, monthly, etc.)
3. Members can check their giving history, and update account info.
I'm currently fleshing it out for other churches to use. The landing page is pretty bare, but I hope to have more info up by end of week.
Curious what your involvement is with churches?
I think that's an interesting idea. The first thing that jumps out at me is that it better be very simple to use, and there should be a way to integrate it well with the church website, regardless of what system they use to run their website. But, I'm sure you've thought of that already. I don't think this would work out well for my church since we're pretty small at this point (about a hundred attendees most weeks) and not particularly tech-literate, but I'll keep an eye on this.
