Ending the January Paperwork Nightmare for Church Administrators

For decades, church administrators have spent the first four weeks of every year buried under piles of physical checks, ledger sheets, and manual mailings to comply with the IRS January 31st contribution statement deadline. Printing and mailing hundreds of paper statements costs thousands in postage, paper, and wasted administrative hours.

SWAPP automatically tracks every online, mobile, text, and manual cash/check donation throughout the year. In January, members can download their official IRS tax receipt PDF straight from their phone. Pastors and treasurers can also dispatch batch personalized emails to the entire congregation in under 60 seconds with full audit verification.
