If you’re organising an Easter church collection in Australia for 2026, a digital giving link is one of the easiest ways to help your community contribute. People can give from their phone, interstate members can join in, and your team doesn’t need to manage cash after services.
PocketWell makes online collections simple — free for hosts, powered by Stripe, and paid out weekly to Australian bank accounts.
What is an Easter church collection?
An Easter collection can be for:
- Easter service giving
- community outreach programs
- youth group fundraising
- parish community support
- mission or charity fundraising
Many churches across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and regional areas now offer both in-person and online giving — because members live busy lives and don’t always carry cash.
Why online Easter giving works so well
Digital giving helps because:
- donations are quick and simple
- QR codes work beautifully on printed service sheets
- it reduces handling and admin
- members can give even if they can’t attend
Based on PocketWell usage across thousands of Australian users, collections work best when giving feels easy and respectful — not pushy.
How to set up an Easter collection (step-by-step)
- Create your free wishing well
- Name it clearly: “Easter Giving – 2026”
- Add a message about how the donations help
- Share the link and QR code:
- on service sheets
- on projector slides
- in newsletters
- Post a short update after Easter (helps trust)
Real Australian examples
- A Brisbane church used a QR code collection to fund Easter hampers
- A Melbourne youth group ran a collection for a camp scholarship fund
- A Sydney parish used digital giving for an outreach program
Online giving made it easy for people who weren’t physically there.
Mistakes to avoid
- Don’t hide what the collection is for
- Don’t overcomplicate the wording
- Don’t forget to thank your community (a short update goes a long way)
