Rock RMS Donation Announcement: Update Your Commitment for Early Access Published Jul 28, 2025 We will be unveiling the most exciting innovations to come at RX25 with new features and tools designed to help churches lead with greater clarity and impact. These advancements reflect our continued commitment to building elegant, effective solutions that are accessible to churches of all sizes. Our remarkable amount of steady progress is only possible because of churches like yours who donate faithfully and consistently. In 2023, we originally announced an increase of the 2026 recommended donation amount to $4.60. Because of your ongoing support, we’re in a strong position to give back and can reduce the 2026 donation recommendation from $4.60 to $4.45 starting on January 1, 2026. Your giving allows us to keep pressing forward to develop powerful digital tools that help make a spiritual impact for the kingdom of God. Churches who give at or above this new suggested level will continue to receive Early Access to major Rock releases—a full year ahead of the general release. For more details about the new donation amount and Early Access, please refer to the FAQs below. Next Steps Please update your commitment on your community profile page. FAQs Why is there an increase in the donation amount? Our commitment to building and supporting Rock with excellence hasn’t changed—but the world around us has. Like many organizations, we’re seeing increased costs due to inflation and shifts in the economy. This updated donation amount helps ensure we can continue delivering high-quality innovation, support, and access to all churches in the Rock community. When will the new donation amount take effect? This change will be implemented beginning January 1, 2026. Will we continue to see annual increases to recommended donations? Yes. We've learned from past experiences that maintaining the same donation level for too long is not sustainable. As part of our commitment to providing quality service, you can anticipate a gradual increase every two to three years. What support or resources will be available to help us transition to the new donation level? The primary objective is to ensure that no church is left behind. To support this transition effectively, you can apply for a grant to make up the difference in your giving amount until your fiscal year or budget season can catch up. I have budget money left in 2025. Can I apply that to next yearʼs donation? Certainly! You can allocate your remaining 2025 budget to offset next yearʼs donation increase. We'll gladly earmark those funds to cover your 2026 commitment. Go to the donate page and choose the "Get Ahead" fund. What should I do if my fiscal calendar differs from the standard one? We recognize that organizations operate on unique fiscal calendars. To accommodate this, please adjust your commitment numbers accordingly and specify your start date. This information will help us align with your timetable effectively. What if I'm unable to meet the recommended donation amount? Will we still have Early Access? We're committed to ensuring everyone can continue using Rock. If you find it challenging to meet the suggested donation, please let us know your situation. We'd appreciate the opportunity to assist through a grant. Read more about Early Access here. What if my donation is handled through my managed hosting provider? Managed hosting providers will reach out to their churches to give more information regarding their package updates. For immediate questions, please reach out to your hosting provider.
