Government Funding Dependency

Grace Community Church

Austin, TX

A mid-sized church 60% dependent on government grants transitioned to a diversified, congregation-driven funding model using The Exchange.

Challenge

When a key federal grant was reduced by 40%, the church faced shutting down two of three outreach programs. The team spent 15+ hours/week on grant applications.

Solution

Embeddable donation forms and recurring giving made it effortless for members to support programs directly. Transparent reporting led to a groundswell of congregational support.

Manual Missionary Payments

New Hope Fellowship

Nashville, TN

A church supporting 18 missionaries worldwide eliminated late payments and manual wire transfers with automated tithe-splitting.

Challenge

Payments were delayed 2-3 weeks. One missionary family went a month without support. The finance director spent 20+ hours monthly on disbursements.

Solution

Percentage-based allocations route 25% to the missionary fund, split among missionaries. Real-time dashboards for church and missionaries.

Nonprofit Isolation

Crossroads City Church

Denver, CO

A large urban church connected with 28 local nonprofits, creating a giving ecosystem that raised over $64,000/month.

Challenge

Dozens of nonprofits competed for the same donors. No infrastructure for cross-organization giving or shared impact tracking.

Solution

Partner donation forms embedded on the church site. When someone donates to the food bank, both organizations see the data. Monthly Community Impact reports.
