Did You Know?
Online Giving Is On The Rise...
"Over the past several years, broadband networks,
email, and the World Wide Web have grown rapidly and are now in wide
public use.
This technology has allowed non-profits to make major
changes in how they coordinate with their activist networks and
communicate with their volunteers, donors, and other constituents.
As a result, and sometimes with seemingly little effort, online
giving has begun to account for a significant and rapidly growing
portion of donations for many non-profits."

More Worshippers Giving Through Plastic Channels
Visa U.S.A. reports that overall transaction volume on its cards for
donations to religious organizations increased 21 percent in 2006,
to $827 million. Debit volume for donations to religious
organizations increased even more, by 35.6 percent. Bill Dobbins,
Visa's vice president of merchant services, says that many people
want to use debit cards to make payments because doing so helps them
manage their finances. "This is definitely a growing category of
payments," he notes. Many religious organizations are now accepting
recurring donations made online with cards, due to the steady flow
of revenue they provide, even in the summer when worshippers are on
vacation.

Online Givers...Give More!
“Online donors are generous. Whether due to income levels, the
impulsive nature of online giving or the credit card effect, online
donors give significantly more than offline donors.”

Customer References
"As a Non-Profit
ministry organization in Vermont, we understand what it means to
stretch every dollar. About a year ago, we were assessing our online
capabilities, and in an attempt to keep up with the ever-present
advancement of technology, we gave our website an overhaul.
As part of our renovations, we wanted to create the opportunity to
receive funds via the internet. In our preliminary research, the
costs of gateway programs, and merchant account fees began to add
up, and we began to consider postponing opening a merchant account.
But then we found ECHO.
There was no start-up fee for Non-Profit Organizations with ECHO,
and the monthly charges were very reasonable. Since that time we've
been able to process funds online, which has lightened the
Administrative load come conference time. Now, instead of worrying
about whether checks will clear or not, it's all done in advance,
and people have the convenience of using their credit card if they'd
like.
We're also now
capable of receiving online donations!! Using ECHO has helped us get
to the next level with out ministry needs, and on a tight budget.
Thanks ECHO!!"
