GiveThree65 lets Alabama Baptist churches offer members ways to give throughout the year. Its web platform provides an online giving page, text-to-give, and non-cash giving. Churches can add a branded giving tool to a website, blog, or Facebook page. Donors may contribute vehicles, jewelry, stocks, property, and other items; the Baptist Foundation of Alabama handles liquidation and sends the church a check. Online gifts are deposited directly into the church’s bank account monthly, normally on the second, or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend or holiday. A client portal lists donors and gift amounts by date. The stated minimum gift is $20, with no maximum gift amount or transaction count. There is no subscription fee or contract, but transaction and administrative fees apply, along with a one-time $25 setup fee deducted from the first monthly deposit. The Foundation provides launch instructions and a communications toolkit. The platform is supported by Generosity by Lifeway.
