For churches

# Giving records your treasurer can trust.

Every gift paid through Stripe, recurring giving or a one-time gift, becomes a signed receipt and a line in sealed, replayable books. Givers can check their own receipts, no account.

## A year of giving, simulated.

Cedar Hill Community Church is invented. A seeded scenario runs its year through the engine, hledger and DuckDB, and all three give the same KPI hash. Run it yourself with the command on the card. See [every preset](https://tfd-ledger.pages.dev/proof#simulations) and [where the simulations simplify](https://tfd-ledger.pages.dev/proof#simplify).

### Churches

Simulated

Cedar Hill Community Church, a simulated church.

In their words: givers · recurring giving · gifts · roof campaign

What's modelled

-   –Sixty households give $25, $50, $100 or $250 a month, or the same yearly
-   –About a quarter give yearly
-   –Some add a one-time gift, a roof-campaign gift or a retreat registration
-   –A few mistaken gifts refunded, often in part
-   –A nonprofit card rate: 2.2% + 30¢

## Three things that weigh on a church treasurer

### 1\. Giving records the treasurer trusts

Recurring giving at each giving level, one-time gifts and the roof campaign arrive through Stripe, then end up in a spreadsheet one person understands.

**How Trifold answers it** (chapters 01 and 02, Money in and Books): every gift lands as an event and posts as balanced books, automatically. Corrections are new events, never edits, so the record of what was given doesn’t quietly change.

### 2\. A monthly report to the board

**How Trifold answers it** (chapter 03, Proof): seal each month before the board meets. A seal is a signed fingerprint of the month’s gifts; anyone holding it can check that the month hasn’t changed since.

### 3\. Givers asking for their year’s total

**How Trifold answers it:** today, every gift has a receipt signed with your church’s key, and a giver can check it on the verify page without an account. Your books export to hledger, Parquet and CSV for your accountant. Year-end giving statements, one per giver, are on the roadmap, marked Later.

## Planned pricing

Churches get the planned non-profit pricing on the [pricing page](https://tfd-ledger.pages.dev/pricing?org=np). It is a plan, not an offer, and may change before launch.

## Questions

**Is giving a fixed amount?**

Not for you. The simulation uses four fixed giving levels ($25, $50, $100 and $250 a month, or the same yearly) because that's how the scenario generator is built. A real church sets its own prices in Stripe, and the books record each gift at the amount Stripe charged.

**Can givers get a year-end giving statement?**

Not yet. Year-end giving statements and donation acknowledgments are on the roadmap, marked Later. Today each gift has a signed receipt the giver can check, and your accountant gets the books in open formats.

**Does a receipt show the giver's name?**

No. The signed record carries the gift's amount, the date, the Stripe record and a hash of the event in your books. No name, no email, so a receipt can be shown to anyone.

**Do you file anything for us?**

No. We prepare records; we don't file taxes or returns.
