Make it Easy to Give
As cashless living becomes a reality for more and more Canadians, churches can implement giving practices that make it easy for people to participate in God’s mission, including people who participate in your congregation remotely.

Pre-Authorized Remittance (PAR)
Even when you can’t be there in person, the PAR program allows you to give intentionally, proportionally and faithfully every month.
Online Giving
Service providers like Tithe.ly and CanadaHelps.org can add secure donation forms to your church’s web site and/or social media presence.
Terminals in Your Church
Using a handheld terminal, a trained greeter can help a donor swipe, dip or tap to give.
eTransfer
Interac® eTransfer donations are a cost-effective way to receive donations. (Not available from all banking institutions.)
Saying Thank You
Expressing gratitude is biblical and research has shown that people will give 40% more if thanked and acknowledged. Here are some ideas for expressing thanks, including sample thank-you letters.
