For Shuls
A shul’s money arrives as bimah kabbalos, fold-tab cards, and Zelle with cryptic memos. ChaiRaiser turns all of it into one ledger the gabbai and the treasurer both trust.
Motzei Yom Kippur someone re-keys hundreds of fold-tab cards into a spreadsheet.
Building money and the rav’s discretionary fund live in the same QuickBooks column.
The treasurer reverse-engineers memo lines to figure out who paid what.
Photograph the stack; review each card beside its photo; confirm — pledge recorded, reminders armed. The shoebox becomes a ledger in one sitting.
Tag every gift Building / Scholarship / General once, and the tag rides through receipts and a QuickBooks-Class CSV export.
Checks and Zelle get proper acknowledgment letters; OJC and Matbia gifts are receipted by the donor’s own fund, so nobody double-deducts.
Yes — quick entry takes a name and amount in seconds, and the Pledge Ledger tracks the receivable with reminders your office controls.
No — it feeds it. The funds export is a QuickBooks-ready CSV with a Class column per fund.
