Donation Basket
Everything your organization needs to run giving — in one place.
Donation Basket gives your staff a real back office, gives your website a real donation form, and gives your patrons a real app — so you stop running three disconnected tools and start running one.
No setup fees, no tech skills needed. Most organizations are live in under a day.
Sound familiar?
The three problems we hear most from religious organizations, schools, and nonprofits.
Online and offline giving live in two different worlds
Cash, checks, and envelopes get counted by hand — then someone has to reconcile that against your online totals separately, every week. Log an offline session once and it rolls into the same reports, same dashboard, and same donor history as every online gift — no spreadsheet, no re-entry.
See it in the dashboard ↓Too many disconnected tools to keep track of
A donor CRM for records, a separate vendor for your giving form, a spreadsheet for event sign-ups, another tool for merchandise — and none of them talk to each other. Donations, donor management, events, inventory, and refunds all live in the same dashboard here, so your team stops entering the same gift three times.
See everything in one place ↓One-time donors who never give again
Most giving platforms get a card number once, and once is often all they get. Every organization on Donation Basket comes with a free app that makes giving again effortless for patrons — Saint Paul the Apostle's patrons give almost entirely through the app, and 91% of their gifts are now recurring.

You're handling donor money — our infrastructure is held to the same standard banks are.
PCI-DSS Level 1
The highest level of payment card security certification — the same standard used by major banks.
Funds go straight to you
Donations deposit directly into your organization's own bank account — we never hold your money.
Bank-level encryption
Every transaction is encrypted end-to-end, the same way your bank protects your account.
We never see card numbers
Card details are never stored on our servers — full stop.
AI-powered fraud detection
Every transaction is automatically screened by machine learning fraud detection built into our payment infrastructure.
Your back office, finally in one place.
Track every donation, run your events, sell tickets and merchandise, and manage donors — all from a dashboard built for the people who actually run your organization.

Built for independent organizations, not just multiple campuses.
Most multi-location giving tools are built for one organization with several buildings. Donation Basket's Super Admin is built for something different — separate, independently-run organizations that share one umbrella and one set of leadership. Onboard each one, and give leadership the full picture, together or one at a time.
Associations with multiple branches
Onboard your central organization along with every branch that falls under it. Leadership can pull up membership, engagement, and monthly funds for a single branch — or roll it all up across the whole network.
Dioceses with parishes & schools
Onboard every parish and school under one Super Admin. Your development office can track engagement organization by organization, while finance sees consolidated numbers across all of them — no more waiting on individual reports to come in.
Every location keeps its own login and its own dashboard — the Super Admin view sits on top, not in the way.
A giving form that lives on your own website.
No coding, and no sending your donors off to a third-party checkout page. One-time or recurring, by card or bank transfer.
A free app for the people who give to you.
Every organization on Donation Basket comes with patron access to our app, at no extra cost. Your patrons can track what they've given, explore your funds and events, and give again in seconds — without re-entering their card every time.

Real growth, from a real partner.
Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Community has used Donation Basket since 2024. Here's what changed, year over year.
+22%
Total giving, 2024 to 2025
+9%
More active donors
+10%
Higher average gift
91%
Of gifts now recurring
Saint Paul's patrons give almost entirely through the Donation Basket app, not a web form — that growth is coming from donors giving more and staying longer, not from constantly chasing new donors. Giving is up again this year, continuing the same trend.
Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Community — partner since 2024
"We work with churches across the country, and the one thing they all need is a single place to track every gift — online and offline. Donation Basket does exactly that, and the offline giving feature alone has made a real difference for our clients."

Numbers above are just the fee and tool math — they don't include the upside of more giving. Organizations also tend to see higher total giving as more patrons move to recurring gifts through the app: recurring donors give 3.2× more annually than one-time givers (industry research). Saint Paul the Apostle's patrons give almost entirely through the app, and 91% of their gifts are now recurring — with total giving up 22% year over year.
These are rough estimates, not a quote. They're modeled on Donation Basket's actual published rate structure and current patron fee-coverage rate (patrons cover the processing fee on roughly 84% of gifts today), compared against a typical blended cost for running separate giving, donor CRM, and event-ticketing tools, based on published 2026 pricing from other platforms in this space. Your actual savings will depend on your organization — contact us for numbers specific to you.
