Sixpence Crowdfunding

What Sixpence Crowdfunding does

Sixpence Crowdfunding, Inc. is a privately-held, early-stage software company founded in 2018 by Christopher Haylett and headquartered in Indian Land, South Carolina. It operates a cloud-based "Connected Giving" platform aimed at Christian churches and the congregants who support them, with particular focus on donors with variable incomes such as hourly workers, contractors, and gig-economy workers. The platform combines three features — Tithe Connect (percentage-of-income giving tied to paycheck deposits via Plaid), Roundup Offerings (card-linked roundups to the nearest dollar on daily purchases via Stripe), and Giving Communities (communal participation and visibility) — into a single congregation-facing experience.
