Welcome to Online Giving

The organization to which you are contributing has partnered with Logos Management Software to provide this efficient method for processing contributions. Logos Management Software has been providing management resources to churches, schools, and non-profit organizations since 1980. The instructions and illustrations provided may differ from what you see on your screens as each organization is able to customize various features of this web application.

The Home Page of your Online Giving account allows you to quickly enter a one-time contribution to one or more funds. You can also see a summary of your giving activity.

Home Page

The “offering envelope” section lists the funds to which people give the most often. You can enter an amount for one or more of these funds. Directly below the “envelope” is a list of other funds to which you can enter a donation. The Total Contribution at the bottom of the “envelope” includes the amounts entered in both lists.

Payment – This field lets you select the bank account from which you want this contribution to be made. (Go to the Profile page to define your bank account(s).
