Plan giving first

A budget that starts with giving.

Plan giving before other spending, choose your percentage, and review gifts from linked accounts, or give to a church on UniFi Giving.

In short

UniFi puts giving first in your budget and tracks gifts recorded in your household’s accounts. You choose the amount. If your church uses UniFi Giving, you can give to it in the app through Stripe; bank connections stay read-only and UniFi never stores your bank login.

How it works

Give first, step by step.

1

Choose the amount

Start with the default ten percent or set an amount that fits your household. Planning a gift does not move money.

Questions people ask.

Is the tithe on gross or net income?

You choose the income basis and amount for your plan. Gross means before deductions; net means take-home pay. UniFi’s ten-percent default is editable.

Does UniFi send money to my church?

If your church uses UniFi Giving, yes: give once, on a schedule, or a share of every deposit, and the gift goes straight to the church through Stripe. If it doesn’t yet, give through your church’s own service and UniFi records it, or invite your church from the Giving page.

Will every gift be recognized automatically?

No. UniFi looks for giving in synced transaction descriptions, but you should review the category. Cash gifts are not imported from a bank feed.

Can my spouse use it too?

Yes. A spouse is included on every plan. Invite them from Settings so each of you can sign in to the same household.

What does UniFi cost?

Steward is $7.99 a month billed annually or $11.99 billed monthly. Steward+ is $13.99 a month billed annually or $19.99 billed monthly. Both include a spouse and a 7-day free trial.
