Give a one-time gift

To make a single gift, go to /give, click Give on the organization, choose One time, pick an amount and pay on the secure checkout. Your gift goes straight to the organization through Stripe, and Christian.com takes no platform fee.

For a full walkthrough of the form, see Give to a church or ministry. This article covers what happens once you click Give.

Make the gift

1. Go to /give. Only verified churches, ministries and nonprofits that accept gifts are listed under Organizations accepting gifts.
2. Click Give on the organization you want to support.
3. Under Frequency, choose One time.
4. Under Amount, pick $25, $50, $100 or $250, or type your own amount in Other amount (USD).
5. Leave the box to cover card processing ticked if you want the organization to receive the full amount. See Cover the card processing fee for the exact math.
6. Click the Give button. It shows the total your card will be charged. A secure checkout opens in the same window; enter your card details there.

After you pay

You come back to /give and see one of these messages:

• Your gift went through. "Thank you. Your gift went through, and a receipt is on its way to your email." Stripe sends the receipt to the email address you entered at checkout.
• Still confirming. "Thank you. We are confirming your gift with the bank; this page will update." Keep the page open; it checks again every few seconds.
• It didn't go through. "Your gift did not go through, and you were not charged." You can try again from the same page.

Where your gift shows up

• If you were signed in when you gave, the gift appears on your giving page at /giving, under All gifts, and counts toward that year's statement. See See your giving history and tax statements.
• If you gave without signing in, the email receipt is your record. Guest gifts aren't added to a giving page later. See Give as a guest or signed in.

Good to know

• Gifts are in US dollars, from $1 to $25,000, and are paid by card. See Gift amounts and limits.
• Some organizations describe how they use gifts. When they do, you'll see that text at the top of the gift form.
