We only stopped using it because we got very large and needed to interface with Planning Center.

Envelope secretary

We get a monthly remittance from head office and all 95 donations are added seamlessly with one command.

The modification of the existing templates for receipts and letters requires a little getting used to, but is not really a major hindrance

Executive Director

Finance Manager

Maybe just add some auto formatting in the Postal Code and Phone number fields but not a big deal.

It has all the reporting features I need and comes with outstanding customer support.

Every feature it offers is reliable, updates are smooth.

I have already recommended Donation to another non-profit, which they  ultimately transitioned to.

I use this program for all of my non-profit clients.

The DONATION software is reliable, does the job it was designed for, with ease.

Breeze

Executive Pastor

What we like most is the value for the money, the stellar customer support, the ease of use the church management section, receiving donations and the emailing and texting feature, along with creating useful forms to streamline data retrieval and storage. And the ministry articles and webinars that you host to make ministry more productive.

Lead Pastor

The support team was extremely helpful in making the transition seamless. And there is nothing that competes with the value of this subscription--we save hundreds each month. While we are not using nearly all the tools, our staff is growing in the use of the platform in ways that enhance the ministry and make our workflow more efficient.

Its church management features keep everything organized—from services and attendance to giving—while the staff management tools make it simple to assign roles and stay coordinated.

The customization options allow us to tailor forms, reports, and member profiles to suit our ministry's unique needs.

Assistant Pastor

However, we are exploring / utilizing new ways to use Tithely on a regular basis, and each new feature improves the administrative functions of our church.

We also appreciate the seamless integration with Tithely Giving, which allows us to keep financial records and donor communication in sync.

From tracking attendance and following up with new visitors, to organizing volunteers and handling giving, the platform keeps everything in one place.

From attendance tracking and member management to contributions and event planning, Breeze lives up to its name—it makes everything feel smooth and effortless.

Treasure

It makes it so much easier for me the treasure to print the reports instead of me having to keep up with it on paper.

The customizable reports are also a big plus, allowing us to generate exactly what we need for meetings and planning.

Office Manager

It keeps all our records and allows us to check in our kiddos and keep accurate attendance.  

It may just be something I haven't noticed yet because we haven't done online payments for an event yet, but would love a way to automatically factor in the amount to cover processing fees, for it to be made optional or not.

Church Secretary

We mostly use it just to record giving and send out end-of-year statements. But it has been useful for looking up contact info when needed.

There are still some duplication in tying the website/app, but these are becoming increasingly rare.

Administrator and Pastor to Women

Breeze makes it so easy to manage our contacts, organize our groups, check-in our ministries, receive donations, and even register people for events.  

We have used Tithely primarily as a database and communication tool for our members.

Having used it across different ministry contexts, I’ve seen firsthand how it can scale with a church plant just starting out as well as with a more established congregation.

Office Administrator

Our head pastor used a more extensive CHMS at another church so gets a bit down on Breeze when it can't do everything an expensive product could (like tracking registration payments, for example).  

Its feature set has matured and its large suite of tools are working together well.

Pastor

I especially love the feature of being able to keep track of monthly and weekly donations.

I liked the relational and clever ways of the Breeze staff; they were and are super friendly, helpful, and responsive. But when Breeze merged with Tithely I'm getting more Tithely promos and I wonder if the original selling points will change, including price.

Clergy

Younger users are not waiting for the app to load. If there has ever been a complaint it has been the speed or lack of speed. If I may suggest an update: give permissions to receive notifications a follow up was assigned to you via text.

It doesn't have a facility management module so we still have to do that in another database, and it makes it hard to get everyone on board with Breeze.

Administrative Assistant

The comparison of past giving and current giving is a huge help in managing our budget.

Ministry Director

For example I would not expect to have to open a calendar and click on a single already scheduled event in order to contact volunteers or create a schedule for that event.  

Tithely Church Management (formerly Breeze) is like having an additional employee on staff.

Great help for our administrative and leadership volunteers to keep track and communicate effectively

Business Manager

Keeping track of giving and sending out statements by email.

It is difficult to get a live person on demand.

We transitioned from another platform that was not nearly as intuitive.

Communications Director

I was never able to get it to work correctly,y and it consistently created duplicate profiles for the children that were checked in.

Has all the features our congregation needs and more

Giving menu helps us to track records of all the donations

I love the expanding reach of Breeze, which includes planning and other elements of ministry located all in one place.  

Church Administrator

I wish that changing "Roles" (permissions people have when using Breeze) could be changed spreadsheet style, with the Roles listed across the top, and the features listed down the side so we could turn on and off different settings for multiple Roles on the same screen.  (Currently, each Role has to be modified individually when a change is made).

Supervisor

It helps me track and organize all data needed like event organizing, monitoring of giving online and productivity attendance.

board treasurer

Breeze forms allow us to manage our volunteers, our donors, our clients and more with no limits on the number of entries.  

Webmaster

Tithely Church Management is an awesome church tool.

I love that we are able to customize the use of it for our church.

Marketing Coordinator

Also that multiple ppl can utilize it for different things and people info remains confidential.

Maybe that our team won't jump on board with the worship planning as it doesn't offer the ease of additional features that a competing program offers.

President

Great value for all that Tzedakah Ministries needs and easy features.

Director of Finances and Office Support

Although this has not happened yet (to my knowledge) - we use a third party giving platform that syncs with Breeze.  

For the value of money, features, and ease of use, Tithely easily is the best all around use for Church Management.

Treasurer

The best thing about Breeze ChMS is giving staff access to all members and visitors.
