You didn't become a pastor to be a fundraiser.
You pour your heart into sermons, counseling, hospital visits, and community events. You show up for every crisis, every celebration, every Wednesday night. And yet — the building fund is still short. The youth trip needs funding. The food pantry is running low. And the AC unit that's been “on its last legs” for three years? It finally gave out.
You've done the pledge campaigns. The special offerings. The car washes and bake sales and spaghetti dinners. The capital campaign that was supposed to close the gap but stalled at 60%. And every time, it feels like you're going back to the same well — asking the same faithful members to dig a little deeper.
Your congregation wants to give. They do. But there's giving fatigue. People feel stretched. The family that tithes faithfully is already sacrificing. The young couple with student loans feels guilty they can't give more. And the last thing you want is for Sunday morning to feel like another ask.
You didn't go into ministry to run fundraising campaigns. You went into ministry to serve people. But the building still needs a roof, the van still needs tires, and the mission trip deposit is due in six weeks.
Small and mid-size churches get hit the hardest. Fewer members, tighter budgets, bigger needs. You need a funding source that doesn't depend on guilt — one that works quietly in the background, every single week, without anyone being asked for a single extra dollar.
Your congregation already spends money every single week.
Hotels for family vacations. Restaurants for anniversary dinners and date nights. Home repairs after the storm. Amazon orders on Tuesday night. Tours and activities when they travel. Car rentals for the family road trip. A plumber for the leaky faucet. Event tickets for the kids.
That money is going somewhere — to Expedia, to Amazon, to Yelp, to random Google results. Billions of dollars flowing out of your community every single month.
What if a tiny percentage of that spending — money they're ALREADY spending — quietly flowed back to the church?
Your people win because they get vetted deals on things they were going to buy anyway. The businesses win because they get customers. And the ministry wins because money that was going to disappear into the internet now comes home.
That's exactly what Recommended.app does. And it costs your members absolutely nothing extra. Not one penny more than they were already going to spend.

Fund Building Projects Passively
Stop relying solely on capital campaigns that stall at 60%. Let everyday spending — groceries, travel, home repairs, Amazon orders — chip away at the building fund week after week, automatically. No pledges. No follow-up calls. Just steady, passive progress.
Fully Fund Youth Trips & Missions
One congregation of 200 families can generate enough passive income to send kids to camp every single year — without a single bake sale, car wash, or GoFundMe. The money comes from things people were going to buy anyway.
Zero Guilt, Zero Selling
This isn't another ask. Nobody is being pressured to give more. Your members get genuinely better deals on things they already buy — hotels, restaurants, home services, Amazon. The church gets funded as a byproduct of everyday life. Everyone wins. Nobody feels guilty.
Professional Print Materials
Bulletin inserts, lobby flyers, welcome desk stickers, business cards — all generated for you automatically from your dashboard. Full-color, professional design with your church's custom QR code. Print them at the church office or any print shop. Ready in minutes, not weeks.

People Get Genuinely Better Deals
These aren't inflated prices with hidden markups. They're real deals from trusted partners like Viator, Expedia, Amazon, and Angi. Your members save money while the church earns. It's a genuine value exchange — not a gimmick.
Church Page Is Yours Forever
Your page, your link, your earnings. No contracts to sign. No lock-in periods. No surprise fees. No "premium tier" upsells. The page belongs to your church for as long as you want it. Leave anytime — but you won’t want to.
Commissions on Categories You’d Never Expect
Hotels, tours, dining, home services, car rentals, Amazon purchases, event tickets, local deals... even home repairs through Angi. When a church member books a family vacation through your page, the commission can be $50-200 from a single trip. Multiply that by your whole congregation.

This costs your church absolutely nothing. Zero. Not today. Not ever.
No credit card. No contracts. No “free trial” that becomes a bill. No strings of any kind.
You sign up in 60 seconds. You print a few flyers. You put them in the lobby and the bulletin. And your congregation does what they were going to do anyway — book hotels, order on Amazon, hire a plumber, buy concert tickets.
The worst case scenario? Nobody scans it and you lose nothing. You're exactly where you are right now.
The best case? You add $800 to $3,400 per month in passive ministry funding — from spending that was happening anyway.
Every Sunday that passes without this in your bulletin is ministry funding left on the table. Not your money. The ministry's money.
The only question is: would you rather that money go to Amazon's shareholders… or to your next mission trip?
Your Congregation Already Spends. Now the Church Benefits.
No credit card. No selling. No guilt.
