Tithing is a personal, regular commitment: Sanctumel gives you a clear monthly view, with no spreadsheet to maintain by hand.

Open the tracking view

  1. Go to Finance then click Monthly tithe tracking (in the "Giving by member" card), or open the Tithe tracking page directly.
  2. Move month by month with the arrows. "Back to current month" returns to today.

Who appears in the list?

Only members who have already tithed at least once appear: children and people who do not tithe never clutter the list. As soon as a first tithe is recorded for a member (manual entry or online giving), their tracking starts automatically.

Reading the table

  1. Has given: amount, date and payment method for the month.
  2. No gift (a plain dash): the member has not tithed this month; their last tithe stays visible.

Note: a missing tithe is not an overdue payment. Nobody pledged an amount, so no debt exists: the row shows a discreet dash, with no alert colour. That is the difference with a contribution, which rests on a commitment - there, not paying really is a debt, and the contributions screen shows it as such.

  1. 12-month faithfulness: gauge showing how many of the last 12 months had a tithe (e.g. 10/12).
  2. Click a column header to sort (name, amount, date, faithfulness), just like Excel.
  • Print (PDF): numbered list with your church letterhead, in the church language - "have given" then "no gift".
  • Excel export (CSV): the same table, ready to open in Excel or Google Sheets.

Note: this information is sensitive. Only roles with Finance access can see this page.

From the Tithes page, you can send members with no gift a personal payment link, exactly like monthly contributions:

  1. Tick one or several members (or use the header checkbox for all reachable members). Members without an email address are flagged and cannot be ticked.
  2. Click "Send links": each member receives an official church email (in the church's language) with a "Bring my tithe" button.
  3. The link is personal and single-use: the member arrives pre-identified, the Tithe category already selected, picks the amount, clearly sees the fees they can cover (added to the displayed total) and pays in under 3 clicks.
  4. The payment automatically feeds the monthly tracker and the member's history.

An honest banner recaps after sending: how many emails actually went out and, if any, for whom sending failed. Every send is also logged under Members, then Communication.

The month concerned (paying March in April)

Each tithe is recorded FOR a month: the "month concerned". It can differ from the payment date - a March tithe paid in April counts toward March.

  1. Record a tithe (button at the top of the page, finance roles): member, amount, month concerned, payment date, method. Nothing else. Shorter still: click a person's name in the table - the entry opens already filled in, with them and the displayed month.
  2. Online: on their payment link, the member chooses the month their tithe is for (current month by default).
  3. The monthly tracking and 12-month faithfulness are based on the month concerned, not the payment date.
  4. Two payments for the same month (e.g. part in cash, part online) simply add up within that month.
