Technology changes are coming to MMFA. In late October we are converting to a new system called CommunitySuite by the technology firm Foundant. For years we have needed one system that fully integrates the ministry work of MMFA and now we have that solution. This new system will integrate our accounting with the Giving Portal. It will also enable us to both track communications with Moravians while performing the complex accounting required by the Common Fund, and to take online grant applications starting in 2024.
What You Can Expect
While we will “go live” the week of October 23, our most exciting changes for you will come in the following days and weeks. The Giving Portal will add cart functionality enabling you to give to multiple Moravian entities while only entering your financial information once. So, if you want to give to five ministries on the Portal, you will only have to enter your credit card or account information one time. Behind the scenes, we will convert to the payment processing system Stripe. This will enhance our ability to receive the actual money from the donation within 24 hours vs. the once per week credit under our current system. We hope to enhance our transfer of funds to churches, making our portal truly the best option for online donations, and it will still be free. Your church or agency gets 100% of the donation. Every time. We cover the cost.
Further Enhancements
We will also launch a Donor Portal for donors and investors to log into for investment statements, transaction history, donor advised fund grants, etc. This will allow treasurers and fund representatives to have immediate access to historical information.
Our goal is to always provide superior service to you while excelling in our ability to move ministries forward, together. Please help us by reviewing new information closely (starting with the October 31 statements), watch for future details on enhancements from MMFA, and please send us any questions you may have. Thanks in advance for your patience as we move through this conversion.
