Financial Stewardship

Sunday cash, physical checks, and online giving reconciled in one place.

Most giving platforms pretend the offering plate is obsolete. Tent54 provides Monday counters with fast check/cash envelope batch entry, alongside online card giving that deposits straight into your church's bank account through its own Stripe account.

Honest Financial Stewardship

Keep more of every tithe for local ministry.

In smaller churches, every hundred dollars saved in software and credit card fees is money that funds youth camps, benevolence, or pastoral care.

01 100% of Gift Option

Low 0.2% fee & donor fee coverage

Tent54 takes just 0.2% of online gifts ($2 on $1,000), and givers can tick one box to cover the processing fee so your church receives 100% of the full donation.

Studies show 50%–70%+ of donors cover fees • ACH coming ($5 cap)
02 Blind Count Mode

Under-500 Stewardship

Honoring kingdom tithes with capped fees and zero donation taxes

Every dollar given on Sunday represents the sacrifice of faithful members. We believe giving tools should protect those tithes, not tax your church with higher software subscriptions as generosity grows.

  • ✓ Zero Donation Volume Penalties: Receive 50 or 500 donations every month without triggering software tier price jumps.
  • ✓ Low online fee & 100% gift option: 0.2% to Tent54, with Stripe's processing fee separate. When givers choose to cover the fees, your church receives 100% of the intended donation amount instead of the gift minus fees.
  • ✓ Cash, checks and online gifts together: every gift lands on the donor's one year-end statement.
