Plero
For churches

Your Sunday giving can fund ministry forever.

Plero quietly turns a share of everyday giving into a permanent fund — no campaign, no major gift, nothing new for your givers.

The year in question 2126 What will still be funding your church then?
How it runs

How it works, in three steps.

Step 1

Keep funding today

Most of each eligible gift keeps funding ministry today, while a board-approved share begins building long-term support.

Step 2

Build a fund, automatically

A small share of each gift is set aside and invested in your church’s name.

Step 3

Draw income every year

The fund grows and pays the ministry back — while preserving the fund for the long term.

No campaign, no second ask Held in your church’s name Prudent draw preserves the fund
For your donors

Let givers build permanence, too.

Beyond your board’s policy, Plero lets a donor add a little on top for the endowment as they give — a tip for the future. Small amounts, given again and again, compound into lasting support.

Large one-time gifts are a bonus. Consistent top-ups are the engine.

Questions churches ask

Answers to common questions.

Will this reduce our current ministry funding?+
It changes how a portion of eligible giving is used. Most continues funding ministry today, while the board-approved share — ten percent is a common starting point — builds long-term support. Your board chooses the percentage and can adjust or pause it anytime.
Is this a campaign or a permanent policy?+
A standing policy, not a campaign. You set it once — there’s no drive, no deadline, and no separate ask of your people.
Does the congregation have to change how they give?+
In most implementations, donors keep giving through the same familiar experience. The exact setup depends on your giving platform and processing flow, which we confirm during onboarding.
How does the board approve it?+
Your board adopts a short allocation and spending policy — the share, what it applies to, and the annual draw. Plero provides a template; the decision and vote are recorded for your minutes.
What happens to restricted or designated gifts?+
Restricted gifts are honored as designated. The allocation applies only to the giving your board includes — you decide what is eligible.
How does it work with our giving system?+
Plero works alongside your existing giving stack — for example Pushpay, Planning Center, or Tithe.ly. The exact setup depends on your platform and processor, which we confirm with you during onboarding.
Can a smaller church realistically begin?+
Yes. There’s no minimum gift and no capital campaign. Most churches begin with a small share of the giving they already receive, and grow from there.
