WeGather/WeShare Reaches Million Dollar Milestone in Less Than a Year
WeGather and Liturgical Publications, Inc (LPI) have reached $1 Million in online donations less than a year after introducing the WeShare donation management system. WeShare helps drive churchgoers to make donations online, allowing churches to set up one place for members to manage all of their donations and purchases associated with their church.
“The tremendous growth we’re seeing right out of the gate demonstrates the need that WeShare fills. From one-time and recurring donations, to event sales and ticketing, and now mobile, WeShare stands out as an innovative solution that churches can trust and rely upon,” says Joe Luedtke, president of LPI’s e-giving division.
LPI is a Milwaukee-area company with 40 years experience helping churches connect with their members. In recent years, they’ve invested heavily in new technologies to take that expertise online. LPI began a partnership with WeGather in 2010 to further expand their online presence and leadership. WeShare donation management was created in late 2011 and quickly built a reputation for superior speed, usability, security, and flexibility.
“This million dollar milestone validates the potential of online giving for faith communities and all nonprofits. Within this milestone is a consistent and increasing revenue stream delivered directly to the church’s bank account that they know they can count on,” Luedtke continued.
Catholic dioceses understand the value—the Green Bay diocese just selected WeShare as a preferred vendor for online giving for its parishes—and churches around the country are making the decision to move forward with this change to online giving as well. While the first million in donations took just under a year, it’s expected that the second million will be reached within three months, showing the market’s increasing commitment to supporting nonprofit endeavors using modern technology.
