New Online Giving Reporting

We’ve launched a newer, faster, and easier version of reporting for online giving! This video will provide you a brief overview of the new system.

We hope this new interface allows you to more efficiently manage your church's finances as you care for the people connected to your church. You can learn more in our Online Giving Reporting article. 

Keep an eye out for further Online Giving updates coming soon, including a redesign of the donation page and the ability for donors to cover fees.

Refunds Just Got Simpler

In an effort to make managing online giving refunds easier, donor profiles and contribution reports will now maintain a record of the original gift, along with the refund! The refund will appear in Breeze as a negative journal entry with a note of the payment details and the original charge date.

In addition, an email will automatically be sent to the donor on your behalf when you issue a refund! You can learn more in our Refunding Online Giving article. 

2,500 Free Text Message Limit Increase

To help churches navigate the many challenges they face with the COVID-19 pandemic, for March and April Breeze increased the free text message limit from 250 to 2,500. (This includes all text messages sent from March 1 to April 30.) 

We pray this helps you more rapidly communicate with your church during the COVID-19 outbreak, without worrying about unplanned expenses.

Additional Resources to Help Churches Navigate COVID-19

In addition to increasing the free text limit in Breeze, we’ve been working hard to provide churches as many free, helpful resources as possible to navigate the many challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.

Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!

We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.

Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.

Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.

I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.

From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
