Rock RMS Donation Update: What You Need to Know Published Sep 18, 2023 The progress we've achieved together over the past few years is truly remarkable. The latest additions have greatly enhanced Rock, enabling churches to make profound impact on their communities. However, maintaining and improving this level of value comes at a cost. To ensure we can continue to provide you with cutting-edge technology and support while advancing Rockʼs future, we have adjusted our donation amount to $4.10 per average weekend attendee in 2024. This adjustment is necessary to sustain our commitment to excellence. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued partnership and trust in Rock RMS. Next Steps Please update your commitment on your community profile page. Frequently Asked Questions Why is there an increase in the donation amount? Our team is committed to building and maintaining Rock with the highest level of excellence and innovations. The value Rock provides comes at a cost that is met through donations. When will the new donation amount take effect? This will start for the fiscal calendar year on January 1, 2024. 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 isn't sustainable. As part of our commitment to providing quality service, you can anticipate a gradual increase, with the recommendation reaching approximately $4.60 in 2025. 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 2023. Can I apply that to next yearʼs donation? Certainly! You can allocate your remaining 2023 budget to offset next yearʼs donation increase. We'll gladly earmark those funds to cover your 2024 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.
