Give to Church Online No Fees with Givr
Givr is a UK church giving platform designed for zero friction giving. Churches pay no setup fees, congregants give via QR code without downloading an app, and Gift Aid is claimed automatically.
How Givr works for free church giving
Your congregation scans a QR code displayed during service or placed around the church building. They enter their donation amount, choose whether to give once or set up a recurring gift, and confirm payment. That's it. No app required for donors. For UK churches, Givr automatically handles Gift Aid claims on eligible donations, turning a standard offering into a tax-efficient gift. The church pays only Stripe processing fees on what's given; there's no subscription cost or platform fee to start.
No app downloads needed from your congregation
The biggest friction point in online giving is asking people to install software. Givr sidesteps this entirely. Your donors use their phone's camera or a QR scanner to reach the giving page instantly. They complete their gift in seconds, on any device, without creating an account. This simplicity drives higher giving rates because the barrier to donation is practically zero. Recurring givers can save their payment details for future gifts, but first-time donors never need to install anything.
Automated Gift Aid for UK churches
If your congregation includes UK taxpayers, Givr reclaims Gift Aid automatically. When a donor confirms they're a UK taxpayer, Givr submits the claim to HMRC on the church's behalf. This means a £10 gift becomes £12.50 for the church at no extra cost to the donor. The treasurer dashboard shows Gift Aid status for each donation, making reconciliation and reporting straightforward. This is where Givr's UK focus delivers real value; the automation removes admin burden from your finance team.
Treasurer dashboard and fund designations
Church treasurers access a simple dashboard to track all giving, set up designated funds or campaigns (building fund, mission work, weekly collection), and see Gift Aid claims in real time. Donors can choose where their gift goes when they give. Recurring donations are managed here too, so you know exactly what to expect month to month. Reports are built in, reducing spreadsheet work and improving accuracy for your annual accounts.
Processing fees only, no hidden charges
Givr charges nothing to set up or use the platform. You pay Stripe's standard processing fee on donations received, typically around 1.4% plus 20p per transaction. This is transparent and competitive. There's an optional Pro tier for advanced reporting features, but the core platform is free. Many churches find the automation of Gift Aid alone saves more than they spend on processing fees.
Why Givr instead of generic donation platforms
Generic online giving platforms don't understand UK church finance. Givr is built specifically for UK churches, with Gift Aid automation built in, not bolted on. Your donors don't need an app. Your treasurer doesn't battle third-party compliance or confusing tax rules. If your church is in the UK and collects tithes or offerings, Givr eliminates the friction between intention and gift. If you're outside the UK, Givr isn't designed for your needs, as Gift Aid is UK-specific.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to pay to set up Givr for my church?
No. Givr is free to set up and use. You pay only Stripe processing fees when donations come in, typically around 1.4% plus 20p per transaction.
Can my congregation give without installing an app?
Yes. Donors scan a QR code and give in seconds on any device. No account creation or app download required. They're done in two taps.
Does Givr handle Gift Aid claims automatically?
Yes, for UK taxpayers. When a donor confirms they're a UK taxpayer, Givr submits the Gift Aid claim to HMRC automatically. Your treasurer sees the status in the dashboard.
Can I set up recurring donations?
Yes. Donors can choose to give once or set up recurring weekly, monthly, or annual gifts. Your treasurer dashboard tracks all recurring givers.
Is Givr available outside the UK?
Givr is designed specifically for UK churches because Gift Aid automation is the core differentiator. If you're outside the UK, Givr isn't the right fit.
How do I collect donations during a service?
Display a QR code on a screen or printout during your service. Congregants scan it with their phone camera and give. You can also place QR codes in the church building, on giving envelopes, or include them in newsletters.
