live streaming of church massNonprofits and churches have embraced live streaming as a way to reach people beyond their physical spaces. While platforms like Facebook Live and YouTube allow for easy broadcasting, they often lack one key feature—built-in fundraising tools.

That’s where GiveCentral Live comes in. This new live video fundraising tool is designed specifically for nonprofits, churches, and community organizations, making it easy to host live events, engage supporters, and collect donations—all in one place.

Why Live Streaming Matters for Nonprofits

Live streaming is now one of the most powerful ways to connect with people. Churches are using it to stream masses, sermons, and prayer services, while nonprofits use it to host virtual fundraising events, share impact stories, and engage donors.

However, traditional live streaming platforms often require viewers to leave the video to donate, which can lead to missed opportunities. GiveCentral Live fixes this by allowing supporters to donate directly from the live stream.

 

What Makes GiveCentral Live Special?

Unlike regular streaming tools, GiveCentral Live is built for fundraising. Here’s what makes it different:

1. Donations Without Disruptions

A Donate button is right on the streaming screen, so viewers can give without leaving the event.

2. No Extra Accounts or Setup Hassle

If you already use GiveCentral, you don’t need to sign up for anything new. Just set up your event from your dashboard and start streaming.

3. More Ways to Fundraise

You can also add Text-to-Give numbers and donation links to make giving easier.

4. Share Across Social Media

Your event link can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and email to bring in more supporters.

5. Flexible Streaming Options

  • Go live in real-time or
  • Pre-record and schedule your video (so you have time to edit and perfect your content).

6. Live Chat for Engagement

Viewers can interact with you during the stream, making events feel more personal and interactive.

7. Prayer Requests & Contact Forms

Churches can use GiveCentral Live to collect prayer requests and contact details, helping them stay connected with their community.
