The Challenges
- Transitioning to digital: Encouraging an older donor base to adopt online giving by gradually replacing traditional methods such as cheques.
- Diversifying payment methods: Integrating online payment options such as Google Pay and Apple Pay, while facilitating their adoption by donors who were used to more traditional methods.

In response to evolving digital trends, the Diocese of Luçon embraced digital fundraising to better connect with its faithful community, particularly younger generations.
By leveraging iRaiser’s donation forms, they developed an engaging, user-friendly, fast, and secure online fundraising platform, customised to meet the unique needs of each campaign.

Thanks to the unwavering generosity of its supporters, the Diocese of Luçon streamlined its fundraising efforts with tailored donation forms for each campaign (Denier de l'Église, parish collections, mass intentions, vocation support, etc.)
This approach simplified the donation process and also enabled the funding of targeted projects, such as the renovation of the organ at the church in Chauché.
Impressive results: 50% increase in online fundraising
Despite the challenge imposed by the pandemic, the Diocese saw its online donations increase by 50% in 2020, demonstrating the effectiveness of the platform in times of crisis. Today, the Diocese is successfully running 4 to 5 permanent campaigns and plans to roll out this f strategy in every parish.
