We don’t take a cut of your church’s generosity. Ever.
Giving flows straight through your church’s own Stripe account, and Scout never adds a fee. You pay only Stripe to process the gift, a rate that drops for nonprofits, and drops further on bank transfers. Online, recurring, and offline donations on one ledger, with year-end statements generated for you.
3 new givers this month. First gifts from familiar faces. Scout flagged them for a thank-you.
2 recurring givers paused this month. Both are longtime members. Scout added them to your follow-up list with the story attached.
A giving system that gets out of the money’s way.
No cut of your church’s generosity
Scout takes nothing on top of the gift.
Giving flows through Stripe Connect straight into your church’s own Stripe account, and Scout never adds a percentage or a per-transaction fee. You pay only Stripe’s processing rate: 2.9% + 30¢ on cards as standard, or 2.2% once you’re approved for Stripe’s nonprofit rate. Bank transfers (ACH) skip the card rate entirely and cost only a small fraction, so not every gift carries the percentage.
Online, recurring, and offline: one ledger
A donation is a donation, however it came in.
Card and ACH online. Recurring at any cadence: weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, annually. Cash and check entered by staff. Refunds gated to their own permission. Everything in one donor history, one report, one year-end statement.
Funds, statements, and the donor relationship
Designations, statements, and a clear story for every giver.
Designate gifts to any fund you create. Year-end statements generate themselves. Donor history reads as one narrative: what they gave, when, to what, and how that compares to their own trend. Anonymous gifts supported by default.
How giving feeds what Scout notices
Where this crosses with the rest of Scout
Giving sits on the same record as serving, participation, and groups. That’s why Scout can see when a regular giver stops, and tell the difference between a pause caused by a life event and a pullback caused by disengagement. The pastoral picture other tools can’t draw.
We’d be glad to handle your giving, and we’ll never take a cut.
