A guest taps a disc with their phone and your giving page opens, ready for their gift. No app to install, nothing to mount in a building you do not own, and no link to read out loud. Put one everywhere your church gathers, from the sanctuary on Sunday to the annual conference and the anniversary banquet.

Tap.Giving makes custom NFC tap-to-give discs for churches, and this page is written for churches in the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church), the oldest Black Protestant denomination in the United States, founded in 1816 in Philadelphia and organized through episcopal districts and annual conferences, with about 3,700 congregations and about 1.1 million adherents in the United States in the 2020 US Religion Census. A church orders discs printed with its own artwork, places them where people gather (welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signage, fellowship halls and anniversary banquet tables), and every tap or scan opens the church's giving page. Discs cost $5.00 each for 100 to 199, $4.00 for 200 to 399, and $3.50 for 400 or more, one time, with free shipping and no monthly fees. Every disc carries a locked NTAG213 chip and a printed QR code to the same destination, and the church can change where taps land at any time in the free Redirect Dashboard. One plain note: this page is a resource for AME churches, and Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AME Church.
The AME Church is the oldest Black Protestant denomination in the United States, founded in 1816 in Philadelphia under the leadership of Richard Allen. It is a connectional church: local congregations are joined through annual conferences and episcopal districts, each district led by a bishop. The 2020 US Religion Census counted about 3,700 congregations and about 1.1 million adherents in the United States, and the denomination claims about 2.5 million members.
Stewardship runs deep in AME life, and so does celebration: church anniversaries, founders observances, and connectional gatherings are major giving moments, when members and guests honor what the church has meant to its community. A giving tool in an AME church has to serve an ordinary Sunday and the biggest anniversary of the decade with equal ease.
An AME congregation gathers for worship on Sunday, then moves through Bible study, choir rehearsals, and district and conference gatherings all year. The giving moment has to work in every one of those rooms. A link on a screen works until the service moves fast, the venue changes, or a first-time guest has no idea what your giving URL is.
A disc removes the friction everywhere it sits. The destination lives in the dashboard and not on the disc, so the same discs keep working as your church hosts the district, marks a milestone anniversary, and changes giving platforms.
AME worship is warm, musical, and unhurried, and the offering is a celebrated part of the service. Discs on chair backs and pew ends let a member or guest give in that moment, without downloading an app or hunting for a link.
Connectional life means your church regularly hosts or attends annual conferences, district meetings, and conventions, often in borrowed or rented space. Discs at welcome and registration tables open the page the host chooses for that gathering, then go back to Sunday giving when it ends.
An anniversary year is one of the biggest giving seasons in an AME church's life. Discs at anniversary banquets and celebration services can open a special anniversary giving page for the season, then return to regular giving in the dashboard, with no new printing.
The next-steps table is where a guest decides what happens next. A disc there turns a good conversation into a first gift and a real connection, while the moment is still warm.
Approve your free proof, pick round or square, and order 100 or more. Pricing is one-time, shipping is free, and most orders arrive about 2 to 3 weeks after artwork approval.
Stick discs on welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signs, and portable giving stations. The 3M adhesive backing is standard, table stands suit rented rooms, and optional screw holes suit permanent mounting once you have a permanent home.
A tap or scan opens your giving page. Your giving platform takes the gift and issues the receipt. Tap.Giving never touches the money.
Most iPhones from the iPhone XR onward and most Android phones from the last several years read NFC with no app. The printed QR code covers every other phone, and both go to the same page.
Tap.Giving sells hardware only. We are not a payment processor, and no gift ever passes through us. The disc opens a page; everything after that belongs to the giving platform your church already uses.
That means your platform keeps handling the gift itself, the card details, the receipt, and the donor record in your church's systems. Nothing about your giving operation changes except how people reach the page.
It also means our pricing stays simple: one one-time price for the discs. No percentage of gifts, no per-gift fee, no monthly subscription, and nothing taken out of what your people give.
If people gather there, a disc belongs there. Churches place them anywhere a welcome already happens:
An AME church can host an annual conference, mark a landmark anniversary, or change giving platforms in the same season. Printed pieces usually die at every change: the giving card names the old platform, the sign names the old venue. Discs are the one printed piece that survives, because nothing about the destination is printed on them.
Order for the rooms you have today, and the same discs serve the sanctuary, the fellowship hall, and the anniversary banquet. When the destination changes, you change a setting, not a print run.
Every Tap.Giving disc includes the Redirect Dashboard, free, for as long as you own the discs. When your church needs taps to land somewhere new, sign in and change the destination. The change takes effect in seconds, there is no limit on how often you change it, and the discs in the field never need to be touched.
Churches live on changing links: an anniversary campaign gives way to everyday giving, a conference gets its own page, a platform migration moves everything. Your printed discs survive all of it, because the destination lives in the dashboard rather than on the disc.
Destinations can be set per disc or per group, so the discs in your sanctuary can open a different page from the discs at an anniversary banquet.
Some phones cannot read NFC, and some people simply prefer to scan. Every disc therefore carries a printed QR code next to the tap point, and both open the same destination.
Nothing is lost either way: the QR code is printed as part of your artwork, follows the destination whenever you change it in the dashboard, and never needs a separate sign or card.
Pricing is one-time and published:
The minimum order is 100 discs, because every disc is custom printed with your church's artwork. That minimum deserves a plain word: a hundred discs suits a church with real rooms to fill, such as a sanctuary and fellowship hall, a congregation that hosts district and conference gatherings, or a church marking a major anniversary. If your congregation is still small and gathers in one room, a printed QR code on a sign may honestly cover it for now, and we would rather tell you that than sell you discs you will not place.
There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, and no per-gift fees. Shipping is free. Most orders arrive about 2 to 3 weeks after artwork approval, as an estimate rather than a promise, and there is no rush service. Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
There are no samples, because every disc is custom printed. Instead, you approve a free design proof of your actual artwork before anything is produced, so you see exactly what your discs will look like.
No. This page is a resource we wrote for churches in the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church). Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the AME Church. We make tap-to-give discs for any church; this page simply explains why they fit AME congregations, from Sunday worship to annual conferences and anniversary celebrations.
100 discs. Every disc is custom printed with your church's artwork, so production starts at 100. Pricing is $5.00 a disc at 100 to 199, $4.00 at 200 to 399, and $3.50 at 400 or more.
About 2 to 3 weeks from artwork approval. That is an estimate, not a promise, and there is no rush service, so order ahead of the Sunday, conference, or anniversary you want them for. Shipping is free.
Yes, any time, in the free Redirect Dashboard. Changes take effect in seconds and there is no limit on how often you change. Point every campus at one giving page today, then give a new campus its own page next month, without reprinting anything.
Yes. Set destinations per disc or per group in the free Redirect Dashboard. Discs in the sanctuary can open your regular giving page while discs at an anniversary banquet or conference registration table open a special giving page, and either can change in seconds when the event ends.
Any of them. The disc opens whatever giving link you give it, for example a Tithely, Pushpay, or Subsplash giving page. If your church changes platforms, update the destination in the dashboard and the same discs keep working.
They are waterproof PVC, 0.85 mm thick with a matte finish, and the NTAG213 chip inside is locked. The 3M adhesive backing is standard for signs, counters, and chair backs, and optional pre-drilled screw holes suit permanent mounting once you have a permanent home.
Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the discs are not right for your church, contact us within 30 days for a refund.
