How It Works — For Churches
Free forever. Built for the local body. Extended to the global one.
Churches get the same F.I.G.S.-vetted Pre-Approved Recipient status as any organization — plus the church-specific layer: Drives, Church Family, designated giving. All at $0.
Apply at /apply.
Submit recognition of your religious organization status (or 501(c)(3) determination letter), governance documents, doctrinal statement, and the F.I.G.S. narrative. Free. No subscription, ever.
F.I.G.S. review.
Same standard as every recipient: Faith, Integrity, Generosity, Stewardship. Binary per pillar. No score.
Placement on the Pre-Approved Recipient List.
Your church becomes a recipient of grants from Xerish Storehouse. The Church Family layer and Drive tooling unlock at the same time.
Set up your Church Family.
Members join your church inside the app. Tithes, designated funds, family-only updates — the relational layer of the congregation now lives in the same surface as their giving.
Run Drives.
A Drive is a giving event your church creates — pick recipient organizations and the percentage share for each, and Givers in your Family contribute to all of them in one tap. When the Drive closes, Xerish Storehouse splits and disburses to each recipient automatically.
Receive grants in weekly batches.
Tithes, designated gifts, and Drive disbursements arrive in weekly batches via Stripe Connect. One reconciliation. No tax receipts to issue — the Storehouse handles all donor receipts.
Church-only features. Free, by covenant.
Free forever.
$0 subscription. $0 per-gift fee. Locked in the SPC charter. No tier you can upgrade to. No paywall on church features.
Church Family layer.
Members of your congregation join your Family inside the app. Tithes auto-route. Designated giving by fund. Family-only updates surfaced separately from public posts.
Drives.
Curate a giving event with multiple recipients and a percentage split. Givers tap once; the Storehouse splits and disburses. Final, auditable, irrevocable on close.
Designated giving.
Tithe fund. Building fund. Missions fund. Whatever your church needs. Givers can direct toward a specific fund; you see clean reporting by designation.
Partnerships.
Confirmed church-to-organization relationships. Skip the per-Drive approval step for partners you've already vetted. Both sides surface the partnership on their profiles.
Admin dashboard.
Manage Family members, funds, tithe commitments, drives, partnerships, and payouts from one place.
A note on the App Store.
- Church-side subscription flow is web-only — Apple never sees this revenue, because there isn't any. Free is free.
- Designated giving and Drive disbursements are grants from Xerish Storehouse to your church — not in-app purchases.
