Case Study: ELCA's South Carolina Synod boosts giving and engagement with Tithe.ly

ELCA's South Carolina Synod boosts giving across 150 congregations with Tithe.ly

The ELCA's South Carolina Synod, a denominational body supporting over 150 Lutheran congregations, faced the challenge of managing multiple, disparate digital giving tools. Their goal was to expand ways of giving and find a unified, cost-effective solution to recommend to their congregations. They partnered with the vendor Tithe.ly to utilize its online and mobile giving platform.

By implementing Tithe.ly, the synod gained a versatile and customizable solution for various campaigns, from mission support to disaster relief. The results included an immediate increase in giving following a workshop demonstration. Tithe.ly's customer support, including quarterly meetings, was instrumental in the successful rollout. A key measurable impact was that congregations signing up through the synod's dedicated link received their transaction fees cut in half due to an ELCA discount.
