Brand your fundraisers, build credibility, and reach your community with the Gospel.
Partnership program
Our Partnership Program is part of our mission to help churches and ministries use crowdfunding to reach their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It allows a church or ministry to brand the header of the crowdfunding page with their logo and contact info. When the fundraiser is shared through email and social media, the sponsoring ministry can be easily seen—building name recognition that helps establish the legitimacy of the fundraiser.
Getting started
Contact us at HereToHelp@WayGiver.com and let us know you would like to use WayGiver Christian Crowdfunding in your ministry. Then provide us with your contact information, a header image, and documentation of your non-profit status if you are not a church.
WayGiver certifies your fundraisers as tax deductible, creates a custom fundraiser template, generates a link to a branded page displaying all your present and past fundraisers, and adds you to our Partners list under the Partners tab in our header.
Becoming a partner is free, and you can launch as many fundraisers as you would like at no cost. We support our service by charging a small fee during the donation process, which is often covered by the donor.
Partner benefits
Your logo and contact info on every fundraiser you sponsor.
Certified fundraisers for churches and registered nonprofit ministries.
An easily accessed page listing all your current and past fundraisers.
Guidance from the WayGiver team—see our coaching resources.
Early adopter partners are recognized with a gold star on our Partners page.
As a church or registered not-for-profit ministry, you may be able to sponsor fundraisers and make them tax deductible. Certain IRS rules do apply.
One of the key ingredients of a successful crowdfunding fundraiser is credibility. When a church or ministry sponsors a fundraiser, it adds credibility leading to greater donations.
When your ministry's name and logo appear on a fundraiser, donors know the fundraiser is backed by a trusted organization they already support.
WayGiver makes it easy for you to promote and share your fundraisers without any programming or complicated website changes. We create a page for you to link to from your website. Your header appears at the top, and the page displays all of your current and past fundraisers.
Churches and ministries already have an audience. By sponsoring a fundraiser, your ministry can help promote the fundraiser by adding it to your website and posting it on social media. If you want to incorporate crowdfunding into your ministry, one of the first steps is to continue building your audience.
Social media is great, but in the long term, email continues to be one of the most productive forms of communicating with a large audience.
Using crowdfunding in your ministry may be new to you. If you need guidance, we are here for you at HereToHelp@WayGiver.com. Contact us if you need assistance navigating the site, creating a fundraiser, or determining how to tell your story effectively.
Your existing congregation and supporters are your greatest asset—WayGiver helps you mobilize them around the causes that matter most.
For leadership teams
Gold Star partners are those who get onboard early and help WayGiver launch this ministry. We recognize their critical role in starting WayGiver with a gold star by their name on our Partners page.
Accountability at any church or ministry means that new relationships need to be discussed and approved at the board or leadership level. WayGiver's Co-Founder, Doug Goodrich, can meet with your leadership team via Skype, Hangouts, or teleconferencing to answer your questions and talk about how your ministry can utilize crowdfunding to impact your community.
