Contributions and pledges


Track and report member giving


Accurate tracking of money contributed or pledged is critical to a church. At any time, you should be able to see exactly who has given how much, and to what fund. You should also be able to monitor and manage amounts pledged verses amounts given toward a capital campaign. Finally, you have to be able to produce the right reports and statements needed to analyze the income of the church, and to fulfill the government's reporting requirements.

Excellerate's contribution entry process was designed to be very efficient, minimizing the number of keystrokes needed to enter each item.


Version 4 will even support automatic check scanning for more efficiency.


Contributions can be posted to any number of accounting funds.

Track and report member pledges


Excellerate helps you manage your building campaigns, or other fundraising drives by tracking expected income and producing reports that help you update your member's giving activity, and graphs that help analyze your overall progress.

Keep your giving records private


Excellerate lets you keep your members' giving records confidential. Everyone who uses the database will get their own personal username and password. You set what information that user can see. No matter how many people use the program, only those on your financial team would see the giving records.

Additionally, those with access need not always have full access. You can limit a user to only seeing the last date a contribution was made (the amount is not displayed), you can give read only access, allow them to read and write to the file, or give full access (including the ability to delete items as well).

Avoid mistakes


When it's time to enter contributions, things can get pretty crazy. Checks and envelopes are going here and there, people are typing as fast as their fingers will go, someone is digging through all the piles of checks trying to take a total count to give to the pastor. Mistakes are easy to make. That's why it's good to have a program that can help you avoid many mistakes, and track down the other ones.

Excellerate will automatically double-check your data entry. Just take a quick count of the total at the beginning, tell the program how much that was, and it will track in real time how the sum of the individual amounts you entered matches the total you got at the beginning of the process.

If the data entry frenzy leaves parts of a member's giving record strewn among several records, Excellerate can merge them together and give you one record.

If someone makes a contribution that looks odd, quickly jump to their record to see if it's typical for them to give that amount. This makes it easy to track down where your entry team may have accidentally missed a decimal.

Easy to navigate


Because Excellerate keeps all your member information in one program, it's easy to get the information you want. If you need to double check an address, just double click the name.

If you want to report family contributions together, check a box and it'd done. If you want to report each family member separately, uncheck the box.

If someone gets married or a child moves out of the house, their records follow them to their new family with no extra work from you.

Easily run reports tracking past giving. At the end of the year, you can generate tax receipts with as little as three mouse clicks.
