See where giving will land by the end of your fiscal year
The Tithes & Offerings Forecast now projects your fiscal-year total, month by month, with last year alongside for comparison.
Budget conversations turn on one question: where will we finish the year? The forecast card now answers it in your church’s own fiscal year.
Read the forecast
The Tithes & Offerings Forecast card on the Giving tab of Overview leads with a Projected FY total: what has been given so far plus what is still expected before the year ends. Its chart shows one bar per month. Past months show what was received, the current month fills toward its estimate, and the remaining months show the forecast, with last year’s amount beside each for comparison.
Forecasts learn only from completed months, so a half-finished month doesn’t drag the projection down.
Choose the forecast period
Churches whose fiscal year starts in a month other than January forecast through fiscal year end by default. Others see a rolling six months, shown as Still expected through the last month. To change it for your whole church, customize Overview, open the card’s settings and choose a Forecast period. Changing it requires permission to manage dashboards.
Every giving card now groups gifts by your church’s time zone, so a late-night gift on the last day of a month counts in the same month everywhere. Monthly totals also no longer double-count for churches with more than one Planning Center Giving record. Giving cards appear for team members with giving access.
