Why generosity stalls at most churches
It's rarely a giving problem — it's a friction problem. The guide walks through the three shifts that consistently unlock more generosity.
When the moment of generosity is rushed or clunky, people give less. A frictionless, on-brand experience turns giving back into an act of worship.
Most giving is limited to card or cash. Letting people give stock, crypto, DAFs, and more unlocks larger gifts — 2.5x the national average on Overflow.
Giving and connection live in the same place. Churches using Overflow Tap see 800% more prayer requests and far more known individuals.
