TL;DR:
Your OnlineGiving.org Dashboard isn't just a report—it's a real-time leadership tool. Use it to re-engage lapsed givers, track recurring gift trends, and fuel momentum this fall with data-informed generosity decisions. We’ll show you how.
How the OnlineGiving.org Dashboard Helps You Lead Generosity with Confidence
Imagine driving to your summer vacation destination—no gas gauge, no GPS. You’d likely get lost or stall out before you ever arrived. Thankfully, cars have dashboards that keep you on track.
Your church needs the same. A dashboard that tells you when momentum is low, when giving is trending up or down, and how to stay on course. That’s exactly what the OnlineGiving.org Dashboard provides: real-time insight to help your church thrive.
What You Can See at a Glance (and Why It Matters)
The moment you log in, the dashboard gives you answers to the giving questions pastors ask most:
- Last 30 Days – Is giving keeping pace? Get a quick pulse on recent giving activity.
- New Users – Who gave for the first time? Know who to thank and nurture.
- Total Gifts – How many gifts have come in? Track approved donations at a glance.
- Future Scheduled Giving – What’s already committed? Forecast cash flow.
- Inactive Users – Who’s gone silent? Spot re-engagement opportunities quickly.
- Donor Trend Graphs – How’s giving trending? Visualize momentum around key dates like the 1st or 15th.
It’s not just reporting—it’s ministry direction.
Why This Dashboard is Built for Ministry, Not Just Accounting
This isn’t a report you glance at quarterly. It’s your real-time, decision-making command center.
- Live filters and visuals help you respond today—not weeks later.
- Recurring giving forecasts allow for better ministry planning.
- Built-in tips and tutorials help your team use it confidently.
- Ongoing feature updates make it smarter over time.

The 3 Most Valuable Metrics You Can Monitor Right Now
Our dashboard identifies valuable metrics in seconds, and these are not just data points—they’re people.
1. Lapsed Givers
Who gave in Q1 but hasn’t since? Reaching out this fall could rekindle generosity and connection.
2. Recurring Giving Trends
What’s your committed giving forecast? Know what you can count on each month.
3. Average Gift Size
Is your messaging resonating? Declines may indicate a messaging issue, not a generosity problem.
How to Use Your Dashboard to Build Fall Momentum
You’ve got the data. Now, here’s how to act on it:
- Send Targeted Messages
Thank new givers. Reconnect with inactive ones. Segment based on real data. - Launch a Fall Campaign or Challenge
Use insights to create urgency:
“Help us close the summer gap” or “Sponsor 100 backpacks by September 1.” - Celebrate Summer Wins
Did giving spike in July? Did 50 kids attend VBS? Tell the story—then connect it back to generosity.
