Icon systems has published three eBooks for churches that are available to download from our resource page.

This e-book was designed to help staff and volunteers understand the importance of recording donations of various different types (eg. non-cash vs. cash). Understanding the various methods of giving can help a church generate income when financial times are tough and provide donors the right documentation for their tax returns. Additionally, it helps the church and donors so neither face implications for accepting the donations incorrectly.
