Digital Giving
While our congregations are not meeting in person, many of us are wondering how to continue to collect funds. One way is digital giving, whether that is through text or app. We explore four possible sources for digital giving currently used by UU congregations, how they work, fee structure, strengths and weakness, and how to communicate their existence to your members and friends. Includes questions/answers and your stories of what you are using for digital giving and how they work.
Hosted by Sharon Dittmar, Congregational Life Consultant, MidAmerica Region of the UUA
