Administrative panel view in the Donations section.

The Donations & Finance module processes every dollar that comes into your church. It’s built on Stripe Connect, which means money flows directly from your donor to your church’s bank account without touching Ministrium in the middle.

This section covers the full cycle:

  1. Overview — how the donation flow works.
  2. Connect Stripe Connect — onboarding your church’s financial account.
  3. Account states — what charges_enabled and payouts_enabled mean and how to unblock.
  4. Receive donations — one-time, recurring, and across channels.
  5. Wallet and balance — available and pending balance.
  6. Payouts and reconciliation — how the money lands in the bank.
  7. QuickBooks integration — sync to bookkeeping.
  8. Tax receipts (501c3) — for US churches.
  9. Financial reports — board-ready views.
Who operates this module?

By default permissions, only org_admin and finance see all of Donations. campus_admin can receive donations but doesn’t see the wallet or Stripe configuration.
