Continue To Give
Multi-channel giving platform with strong text-to-give and crypto/stock donation support for nonprofits.
Visit Continue To Give ↗
Continue To Give is a thoughtful platform that has quietly built one of the broadest giving-channel feature sets in the category. If you have donors asking about stock or cryptocurrency giving, this is one of the only platforms that handles it without making you call a sales rep or redirect to a third-party form. The tiered pricing rewards volume, the donor portal is clean, and the free plan is genuinely usable.
The trade-off is brand and ecosystem. There's no installed donor base the way Givelify has one. There's no ChMS underneath. There's no growing app footprint or website builder bundled in. We see it as a specialist giving tool — pick it for the channel breadth, pair it with a real ChMS, and don't expect it to be a platform play.
What it is
Continue To Give is a Bend, Oregon nonprofit and church giving platform founded in 2011. Unlike most competitors in this list, the company has never tried to expand into ChMS or website territory; it's stayed focused on being a giving processor with an unusually broad set of giving channels. The product covers online and mobile giving, text-to-give, kiosk and tablet giving for in-person Sunday-morning use, recurring gift management, peer-to-peer fundraising, and notably, first-class stock and cryptocurrency donation support.
The stock and crypto support is the differentiator most often worth noting. Many giving platforms claim to support 'non-cash gifts' but in practice route the donor to a third-party broker form. Continue To Give handles stock donations through DAFpay-style flows directly inside the platform, and accepts a meaningful list of cryptocurrencies as native donations with the proceeds settled to the church in dollars. For churches with donors who have appreciated stock or crypto holdings, this is a real advantage — those donors typically give larger gifts when the channel is friction-free.
Pricing is tiered by plan. The Free plan has no monthly fee and standard processing rates around 2.9% + $0.30 on cards and 1% on ACH. The Plus plan at $25/month and Pro plan at $49/month progressively lower processing rates, so high-volume churches save real money by upgrading. This volume-based pricing logic is unusual — most competitors are either flat-rate (Givelify) or fixed-tier (Tithe.ly Pro).
What Continue To Give does not do: a ChMS, check-in, event management beyond basic registration, volunteer scheduling, or a custom-branded mobile app. Donors give through web forms, the Continue To Give-branded app, or text-to-give — there's no white-labeled experience.
Who it’s for
Continue To Give is for small-to-mid churches and nonprofits with donors who want to give via stock, crypto, or other unusual channels. The classic buyer is a 200-800-person church with a handful of larger-gift donors who hold appreciated stock, plus a senior pastor or finance team who sees the gift size and conversion advantage of supporting those channels natively. It also fits parachurch nonprofits and missions organizations whose donor base skews wealthier and gives more from non-cash assets.
It's not the right pick if you just need a simple online giving form and don't care about exotic giving methods. At that point Tithe.ly's free plan or Givelify's flat rate are simpler choices with comparable or better economics. It's also not the right pick if you're looking for a one-vendor platform — Continue To Give doesn't pretend to offer the membership, check-in, or scheduling tools you'll need separately.
Key features
Native, first-class support for stock and cryptocurrency giving. Most platforms either lack this or punt to a third-party broker form. The single biggest reason to pick Continue To Give over a generic processor.
Online, mobile, text-to-give, kiosk, peer-to-peer, recurring, stock, and crypto — all in one platform. Unusually broad channel coverage for the category.
Free, Plus ($25/month), and Pro ($49/month) plans progressively lower processing rates. High-volume churches save real money on upgrades — the math actually works out, unlike flat-fee competitors.
Clean recurring giving setup with donor self-service for editing or pausing gifts. Reduces the number of admin emails the church receives about gift management.
Genuinely usable free plan with no monthly fee. Standard processing rates apply, but small churches can run on it indefinitely while testing the platform or before committing to a paid tier.
Basic event registration with paid sign-ups. Not a replacement for a ChMS-level events module, but useful for camps, retreats, and conferences.
Standard integrations with QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Constant Contact, and Zapier. Reasonable coverage for a specialist giving tool, though shallower than a full ChMS-and-giving suite.
Pros & cons
- Supports unusually broad giving channels — text, kiosk, app, web, stock, and crypto — in one platform.
- Tiered pricing actually rewards volume with better rates, unlike flat-fee competitors.
- Stock and crypto giving are first-class, not bolted-on, which matters for some donor segments.
- Recurring giving setup is clean and the donor portal allows self-service edits.
- Free plan is genuinely usable for very small churches that want a no-commitment start.
- Brand recognition is low; donors don't already have the app installed the way they might with Givelify.
- Not a ChMS; you'll need a separate tool for membership, attendance, and groups.
- Reporting is functional but lacks the cohort and retention analyses Pushpay offers.
- The volume of giving channels can feel overwhelming for small churches that just want one online form.
- Customer support is fine but smaller than the major platforms, which can mean slower turnaround at peak.
Pricing
Continue To Give's pricing is unusually transparent for the category — tiers and rates are published. The Free plan has no monthly fee and processes at roughly 2.9% + $0.30 on cards and 1% on ACH. The Plus plan at $25/month lowers processing rates a bit, and the Pro plan at $49/month lowers them further while adding the full feature set including stock and crypto channels.
The tier math actually works for high-volume churches. A church processing $20,000/month would save several hundred dollars per year on Pro versus Free, more than offsetting the $49/month subscription. For very small churches under $5,000/month, the Free plan is the right starting point and there's no urgency to upgrade. The pricing rewards growth, which is the right design for a specialist tool that wants to keep churches as they scale.
| Plan | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/month | No monthly fee; standard processing rates apply per transaction. |
| Plus | $25/month | Lowered processing rates and additional features for higher-volume churches. |
| Pro | $49/month | Lowest processing rates and full feature set including stock and crypto. |
Transaction fees: Around 1.9-2.9% + $0.30 depending on plan; 1% ACH
Alternatives
Aggressively priced giving platform with a growing ChMS, app, and website stack underneath it.
Donor-app-first giving platform that prioritizes ease of one-time mobile gifts over deep ChMS reporting.
Long-running giving processor now consolidated under Ministry Brands, mostly maintained for its existing base.
Verdict
We'd recommend Continue To Give for churches and nonprofits whose donor base includes meaningful interest in stock, crypto, or other non-cash giving channels. The native support for those channels is a genuine product advantage and converts donor interest into actual gifts in a way third-party redirects never quite do. For a 400-person church with even one or two donors who give from appreciated assets, the platform pays for itself quickly.
Skip Continue To Give if you just need a simple online giving form. Tithe.ly's free plan, Givelify's flat-rate, or Planning Center Giving will be simpler choices for plain-vanilla giving needs, and they'll often be cheaper at scale on ACH. Continue To Give is a specialist tool — pick it for the channel breadth and pair it with a separate ChMS like Planning Center or Breeze. Don't expect it to grow into a platform, because the company hasn't tried and probably won't try.
