חיChaiRaiser

For Shuls

Shul Campaign & Building Fund Software

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.

What it’s like today

The Kol Nidre shoebox

Motzei Yom Kippur someone re-keys hundreds of fold-tab cards into a spreadsheet.

Restricted funds mix

Building money and the rav’s discretionary fund live in the same QuickBooks column.

Zelle archaeology

The treasurer reverse-engineers memo lines to figure out who paid what.

What ChaiRaiser hands you

Card Scan

Photograph the stack; review each card beside its photo; confirm — pledge recorded, reminders armed. The shoebox becomes a ledger in one sitting.

Funds

Tag every gift Building / Scholarship / General once, and the tag rides through receipts and a QuickBooks-Class CSV export.

Receipts, rail-aware

Checks and Zelle get proper acknowledgment letters; OJC and Matbia gifts are receipted by the donor’s own fund, so nobody double-deducts.

Straight answers

Can we track pledges made from the bimah?

Yes — quick entry takes a name and amount in seconds, and the Pledge Ledger tracks the receivable with reminders your office controls.

Does it replace our accounting software?

No — it feeds it. The funds export is a QuickBooks-ready CSV with a Class column per fund.

Free to start. Honest by construction.

Campaigns run in pledge mode — commitments recorded, your organization collects on its own rails. ChaiRaiser never touches the money.
