Shul management, built around giving
Run your whole shul from one place.
Members and families, dues and billing, fundraising, yahrtzeits, seating, zmanim, your website and a member app. Every CrowdSpark gift lands on the family’s ledger on its own, so the office stops retyping.
Introductory price: $199/month
One system for the whole shul. Everything in ShulSpark:
Features
Everything the shul office does, in one calm place
Built for how a shul actually runs: families, the Jewish calendar, yahrtzeits, Yamim Noraim seats and a campaign every season.
Fundraising
Fundraising is built in, not bolted on
Run your annual campaign, a Sefer Torah dedication, a Chanukah raffle or a capital campaign on CrowdSpark, and every gift posts straight to the right family’s ledger.
- Campaign pages, thermometers and raffles for your website
- Gifts match to households automatically, with a review inbox for the rest
- Receipts, pledges and year-end statements all read from the same ledger
Members, dues & billing
Every family, every balance, at a glance
Households with spouses, children, membership levels and a full ledger. Bill dues in one run, take card and ACH, and see exactly who is behind and by how much.
- Invoices, installments, autopay and statements
- Collections with aging: current, 31–60, 61–90 and 90+ days
- A failed card gets a secure self-fix link, never sent on Shabbos
AI agents
An office that preps the work overnight
Thirteen assistants draft the routine work while the office is closed: a morning briefing, collections, sponsorships, yahrtzeits and simchas, Yamim Noraim seats, text-to-pay and payment matching.
- Drafts only. Nothing goes out without your approval
- Approve, edit or skip each one, and every action is logged
- “Ask ShulSpark” answers questions about your own data
The shul year
Yamim Noraim seats, yahrtzeits and every event
A seating chart members can pick from on their phones, or the office can assign. Yahrtzeits by Hebrew date. Events with RSVPs and check-in, and the programs that make up your year.
- Members choose open seats, or the office assigns them, with price tiers and auto-assign
- Yahrtzeit reminders by Hebrew date, to the family, the gabbai and the Rav
- Events, RSVPs, Avos uBanim sponsorships and shalach manos
Member app
Your members get the shul in their pocket
Members see their balance and pay in a tap, give to a campaign, RSVP, choose their seats, send shalach manos, check zmanim and listen to shiurim, on the phone or the web.
- Pay now, autopay and saved payment methods
- Seats, RSVPs and shalach manos without calling the office
- A members-only area for shiurim and media
Schedule, zmanim & website
Davening times that update themselves
Every minyan is a rule tied to real zmanim. Approve once, and your website, the lobby display screen, the member app and the weekly email all show the same times.
- Zmanim for your location, with holiday overrides
- A visual website builder: drag sections for davening times, events, shiurim and your campaign
- A lobby display screen and a print-ready weekly sheet
Year-end statements
A statement for every household, in one batch
Generate a year-end contribution statement for every household in one batch, branded for your shul, with the tax-deductible amount worked out from rules you set.
- Tax-deductibility rules by category
- Batch-generate a PDF for every household, ready to email or download
- Deposits matched to the bank, plus a QuickBooks Desktop export
And the rest of the office
The details that save hours every week
Communications
Email, SMS and WhatsApp from one composer, to the right list. Anything scheduled for Shabbos waits until after havdalah.
Analytics
Giving this period against last year, where gifts come from, and giving by fund.
Events & promotions
Dinners, 5Ks, auctions and raffles, with promo codes, team pages and in-person giving.
Bookkeeping
Fund and category mapping, deposits batched the way the bank sees them, and bank reconciliation.
Roles & permissions
The treasurer, gabbai and bookkeeper each see what they need. Sign in with Google, Apple or an email link, and every change is logged.
Automation
“When this happens, do that” rules: post a gift and email the receipt, remind a family before a yahrtzeit, follow up on old balances.
Shiurim & media
A library of shiurim and recordings, with a members-only area and access rules you control.
Your shul, your words
Rename anything to match your kehilla: “households” or “families”, your own program and membership names.
Integrations & API
API keys, webhooks and the option to bring your own payment processor.

FAQ
Questions shuls ask
Can we bring our data from our current system?
Yes. The import wizard takes an export from your current shul system, your accounting software, donor tools or a spreadsheet: families, ledger history, yahrtzeits and seats. It shows you what will come over and flags anything that needs a look before it is saved.
How does CrowdSpark fit in?
CrowdSpark is built into ShulSpark. Gifts to your campaigns post to the right family’s ledger automatically, and anything that can’t be matched for certain waits in a gift-matching inbox, with the reasons for each suggestion.
Do the AI agents send anything on their own?
No. The agents prepare drafts, like reminders, thank-you notes and yahrtzeit letters. Nothing goes out until someone at the shul approves it, and every approval is logged.
Can members pay and give from their phones?
Yes. The member app shows each family its balance, with Pay now and autopay, plus giving, RSVPs, seat selection, shalach manos, zmanim and shiurim.
Who on our team can see what?
You decide. Roles such as treasurer, bookkeeper and gabbai each get their own permissions, and an audit log records every change.
Can we use our own names for things?
Yes. Call them families or households, and use your own membership levels and program names. The whole system follows your words.
What does it cost?
ShulSpark starts at an introductory price of $199/month. Higher tiers with advanced features, at $299/month, are coming soon.
Can I try it before we talk?
Yes. The live demo runs with a sample shul and sample data, so you can click through every screen. Open the live demo.
