No. Chrimata is a cutting edge all cloud-based system. No need to download apps, update apps or wonder what platform to use. If you can access the internet, you can use Chrimata. Donors may bookmark their sign-in page and repeat donations take about 10 seconds.

Yes. While we specialize in churches, We support independent ministries, missions, and other types of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, while specialising in the types of reports that Churches have been looking for. Whenever we get feedback about what an NPO is looking for, we’ll add those features as needed.

Chrimata does not require a contract to use our service. We are so confident in our abilities to serve your vision and exceed your expectations that we do not need to trap you as a client with a contract.

Here’s a theme we hear a lot —  “Everybody was right there until we signed a contract, now we can’t talk to anyone!”

We understand. With Chrimata, you’ll have a dedicated account manager. No more calling a support line having to talk with somebody new each time. Your account manager will be familiar with you as an organization and as an individual. Your clients will receive the same attention. 

Chrimata allows your donors to use all major credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express) as well as direct (ACH) bank transfer. A nice feature is that all of the above can also be set up on a recurring giving schedule building confidence for future donations. Chrimata also allows you to record all cash, check, and other forms of payment so that all giving records are in one place. No need for third party programs.

We do not. Our research has shown that less than 1% of people in church ever used text-to-give. Therefore, we did not believe it was worth the expense to our churches. Second, text-to-give is limited to a single donation and a single fund. Repeat donations on Chrimata take about 10 seconds compared to the average of 30 seconds for text-to-give.
