State of the Plate Report

The 2016 State of the Plate report intends to explore generosity in the Church. Our mission is to help uncover and surface key insights for churches across Australia, Canada and the United States of America.

  • Church Giving Trends in the US, Canada, & Australia.
  • Digital Giving Trends (online, mobile, text, kiosk, bank transfer).
  • How church giving will perform in light of the economy.
