Online giving that keeps its own books.
Congregants give once or set up a recurring gift through Stripe, and every dollar lands on the right fund, tied to the right donor, in the same ledger as the rest of your accounting. No separate giving vendor to reconcile against your books by hand.
Built for churches, which are nonprofits
GLAD is built only for churches, not generic donation software repurposed for nonprofits. In Canada that means a registered charity under the CRA. In the United States it means a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Giving is organized around designated funds rather than one lump total: every fund keeps its own running ledger with a real balance and audit trail, and Canadian churches get CRA-compliant tax receipts generated automatically instead of a spreadsheet someone rebuilds every January.
Donation tracking, donor management, and reporting, in one place
Not a giving widget bolted onto your website: every gift, every donor, and every fund report living in the same platform as your books.
Every gift tracked by fund and by donor
Online, recurring, and staff-entered gifts all post to the same giving ledger, tagged to a fund and a donor from the moment they land, so nothing has to be re-keyed into a spreadsheet to be counted.
Recurring giving, handled by Stripe
Congregants set an amount, a fund, and a cadence once, and Stripe runs the charge on schedule. GLAD detects giving patterns automatically, so staff can see who is on a steady monthly rhythm without a manual schedule setup.
Donor management, not just a payment log
Every gift is tied to a family record, not a bare transaction. Donors see their own giving history and tax receipts from the member portal; staff see newest donors, giving trends, and at-a-glance donor context from the admin dashboard.
Reporting and analytics on real giving data
Total given by range, cadence detection for recurring donors, and per-fund breakdowns are computed from the actual giving ledger, not a monthly export somebody has to remember to pull.
CRA-compliant tax receipts, generated for you
A numbered annual PDF per donor, with a per-fund breakdown, generated automatically for Canadian churches. Donors download their own from the portal; nobody in the office has to build them by hand every January.
One ledger, not a giving vendor and a books vendor
Every gift posts straight into the same accounting system that runs your budgets, reconciliation, and payroll. There is no export-and-reconcile step between "a gift came in" and "the books are right."
What giving actually costs
Free for churches under 50 people, every feature included. GLAD takes a 1% platform fee on donations on that free plan, to cover processing; that drops to 0% on any paid plan. Card processing fees are charged by Stripe, same as with any payment processor, on every plan.
