What GiveThree65 is
GiveThree65 is a web-based online giving platform for Alabama Baptist churches. It supports year-round donations through an online giving page, text-to-give, and non-cash gifts. A church can place a branded giving tool on its website, blog, or Facebook page. Donors may contribute vehicles, jewelry, stocks, property, and other items; the Baptist Foundation of Alabama handles liquidation and sends the church a check. Online gifts go directly to the church’s bank account monthly, with deposits made on the second day or the next business day when needed. A client portal lists donors and gift amounts by date. The service states that banking information is tokenized and encrypted through Spreedly. The free plan has no subscription fee or contract, but transaction and administrative fees apply, plus a one-time 25 USD setup fee deducted from the first monthly deposit. Credit and debit gifts cost 2.99% plus $0.36 per transaction; ACH costs $0.36 per transaction. The minimum gift is 20 USD.
