For your givers

Givers can add to the endowment when they give.

As they give, a donor can add a little on top for the endowment. A tip for the future.

Large gifts are a bonus.Welcome, never required.
Add-ons are the engine.Small, given again and again.
Works with your giving platformPushpayPlanning CenterTithe.ly

Givers keep the experience they know. Exact setup is confirmed during onboarding.

Legacy giving

Accept legacy gifts the offering plate can’t.

Some of your most generous people want to give more than a weekly offering can hold. Without an endowment, those gifts often go to institutions that have one.

Why donors trust churches with endowments.

01
A structure they can trustHeld in your church’s name, governed by your board, reported in the open.
02
Stewardship they can seeEvery gift recorded, every decision on file. Their generosity is handled with care.
03
A church that will be hereDonors give more when they know the gift will last. An endowment shows them it will.

What the endowment can fund.

Your board chooses the purposes.
Youth ministryThe next generation, always resourced.
BenevolenceA family in need never waits on a budget.
ScholarshipsEducation funded for generations.
Staff & pastor salariesYour team paid, even in a slow year.

The real test of a leader is what keeps growing after they leave the room.

From the Plero Beliefs

Common questions.

Will this reduce our ministry funding?+

Most giving keeps funding ministry today. Your board sets the share, and can adjust or pause it anytime.

Is this a campaign?+

No. It’s a standing policy. No drive, no deadline, no second ask.

What about restricted gifts?+

Honored as designated. The share applies only to giving your board includes.

Can a smaller church begin?+

Yes. No minimum and no campaign. Most start at 10%. Your board can choose 5% to 15%.
