Managed Giving System Partner

Baker Giving helps churches manage the giving system behind generosity.

Baker Giving helps churches see where money is leaking, where giving pathways are creating friction, and where generosity rhythm needs clearer oversight.

Offer Hierarchy

One relationship at the center. Everything else supports it.

Baker Giving does not begin by selling a campaign, platform, or playbook. We look at the system a church already has and tell leadership what the system is showing.

01Apex

Managed Giving System Partner

The ongoing relationship for churches that want the giving system watched, reviewed, and improved over time.

02

Managed Giving System Review

The paid entry engagement. A first serious read on the giving system.

03

Visibility Report

The artifact that shows what the review sees.

04

Monthly Review

The recurring rhythm that watches movement over time.

05

90-Day Sprint

A focused execution window around one confirmed system issue.

The Distinction

A platform is not a managed giving system.

A giving platform processes gifts.

A managed giving system protects the flow of generosity.

Most churches have a giving platform.

Fewer churches have someone actively watching the full system around giving.

The platform matters, but the giving system is bigger than the tool.

01

Processing

Rates, fees, structure, statements, settlement, and the financial rails behind giving.

02

Pathways

The digital giving experience, recurring setup, giver friction, platform configuration, and the routes people use to give.

03

Pulpit

How giving is communicated from leadership, stage, campaigns, generosity moments, and church-wide rhythms.

04

People

Recurring giving, giver retention, participation patterns, follow-up, generosity rhythm, and household movement.

Baker Giving works above the tool layer.

We help churches see whether the full giving system is working clearly, efficiently, and faithfully over time.

Ways to Begin

Ways to Begin

Some churches are ready for a full Managed Giving System partnership.

Others need a first review or a focused implementation window.

The primary Baker Giving relationship is ongoing system management. Most churches begin with a defined system review.

Best First Step

Defined paid engagement

Managed Giving System Review

A first serious read on the giving system.

The Managed Giving System Review helps a church see where the system is working, where money may be leaking, and what deserves attention next.

This is the best starting point for churches that want clarity before committing to ongoing management.

May include

  • ·Leadership Read Brief
  • ·Visibility Report
  • ·Processing and fee review
  • ·Digital pathway review
  • ·Recurring and retention read
  • ·System findings
  • ·Next Responsible Move
  • ·Managed Giving System recommendation

The offer is the Managed Giving System Review. The artifact may be a Visibility Report. Churches are not buying a PDF. They are buying a serious read on the system behind giving.

Focused implementation

90-Day Sprint

A 90-Day Sprint is a focused execution window around one confirmed system issue.

This is for churches that already know something needs attention and want concentrated movement.

Examples

  • ·Recurring pathway improvement
  • ·Processing cleanup
  • ·Digital giving friction
  • ·Campus continuity visibility
  • ·Retention visibility

What it is: A short, focused operating window.

What it is not: A vague consulting engagement.

Other tactical assets, such as custom playbooks, may be created after a Managed Giving System Review when the issue is specific and the next move is clear.

Fit

Built for churches with real giving-system complexity.

Baker Giving is best suited for churches where the giving system is too important to leave unmanaged.

Best fit churches often have

  • ·Meaningful giving volume
  • ·Digital giving complexity
  • ·Recurring or retention questions
  • ·Platform or processing uncertainty
  • ·Multisite or campus visibility needs
  • ·Leadership desire for better financial clarity
  • ·A need for trusted outside oversight

What Baker Giving is not

Baker Giving is not:

  • ·A generic fundraising consultant
  • ·A payment processor
  • ·A platform support desk
  • ·A one-time report shop
  • ·A campaign agency

Baker Giving is the managed partner for the giving system.

The goal is not to sell a tool.

The goal is to help the church manage the system correctly.

Why It Matters

Most leaks do not announce themselves.

Churches can be losing money or visibility without realizing it.

Not because people are ungenerous.

Because the system around giving is not being watched carefully enough.

These leaks often look normal.

Baker Giving helps churches see them, address them, and watch the system over time.

Diagnose · Deploy · Defend

01

Diagnose

We review the giving system and identify where money, momentum, or visibility may be leaking.

02

Deploy

We help the church make the right improvements, not random improvements.

03

Defend

We help leadership watch the system over time so the church does not drift back into hidden leaks.

This is the move from a one-time review to an ongoing Managed Giving System partnership.
