On Our Website
You can donate right here, right now just by clicking on the Give button below. You can even pledge electronically. Use any major credit card - Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express - or debit your checking account (ACH) by entering your account number and the bank’s routing number.
Central incurs a lower fee if you use a bank account/ACH - and a slightly higher fee if you use American Express.
Text to Give
Your donations can be a safe, secure text message away. To set up a Text to Give account, text the word “Give” to 401-239-1867, Central’s exclusive number. You’ll receive a confirmation text with a link. The link will lead to a pre-written email that you’ll need to send and a short donation form for your credit card information.
Then, whenever you want to make a donation, text the amount without using a dollar sign. For example, “100” for $100. Set up a reoccurring donation by texting “100 tithe weekly” - or monthly or quarterly. You can even donate to Central’s endowment: “Give 100 endowment fund.”
Tithe.ly
Tithe.ly is a giving system much like PayPal, but created for churches. To get started, download the green Tithe.ly app (below), set up a passcode, register your credit/debit card or bank withdrawal, and you’re good to go. Just enter the amount you want to give and use the drop-down menu and “notes” area to specify your instructions. The app will generate a receipt for each donation and track your Tithe.ly giving history.
Central incurs a fee for each transaction: $0.30 plus 2.9% for credit/debit card and 1% for direct bank withdrawals. If you would like to cover these fees, the app offers that option.
