FUUSE Church Management System
(Elvanto ChMS)

This tip: 

• applies only to people who use gMail to read their email. 

• applies only to people who sometimes find emails from exeteruu.org email addresses in their spam folder.

Some people have reported that emails from minister@exeteruu.org, or office@exeteruu.org or other FUUSE email addresses get put into their spam folders. Gmail allows users to manage incoming mail through filters. Here are some steps to be sure FUUSE emails stay in your inbox -- or another folder you may prefer.

In gMail on your computer, go to your settings. Look for the gear icon to get to settings. 

If you are shown something called “Quick settings” -- click instead on “See all settings.”

Click on the words "Filters and Blocked Addresses” to open a list of rules or “filters” for managing your emails.

Below the list of filters (if you have any), find a link that says “Create a new filter” and click it.

In the dialog box that appears, in the field at the top that is labeled “From:” type the at sign (@) and the domain name exeteruu.org as one “word,”  @exeteruu.org

Also make a mental note of all the other things you could fill in to create other kinds of filters. This dialog is asking you what emails to watch for. Click on “Create filter”-- not on “Search.” 

In the next dialog box that appears, you are being asked what to do with the emails that match your criteria.  Check the box next to “Never send it to spam.” Again, look around and make a mental note of the many other kinds of things you can do to an email through a filter like this. Press the “Create filter” button.

That’s it! Now think of all the other ways you can organize your inbox and other folders, and have fun.

Online Giving
FUUSE has a payment platform for online giving called Tithe.ly. We like all giving, no matter how you donate, but online giving is especially helpful to FUUSE for several reasons. It helps us:

• Save time and money because we don’t have to endorse checks and take them to the bank, or manually enter hundreds of details.

• Reduce errors because of less entry and handling.

• Increase the security of your gift as we are not having to handle cash.

• Keep income flow more level, so that it’s easier to meet current obligations of our day to day overhead, year round.

Our new system, "Tithe.ly," is easier to use than our previous online partner, Mogiv. Tithe.ly also costs FUUSE less in processing fees. And it has much better tools for the office to give you assistance if you need it.

If you are willing to give online donations a try, here is how to get started. 
Start payments through Tithe.ly. Go to the web page https://fuuse.elvanto.net/pages/donate

1. Click on the link that says To download a copy of FUUSE Online Giving Notes and Tips, click here. and follow those instructions.

2. Be aware that you can create two separate schedules of future donations, one for the Annual Fund, and another for the Capital Campaign.

If you have any questions or concerns, call or email Yvonne at office@exeteruu.org, 603-772-4002.

HISTORICAL - The Outreach Committee was formed in 2004 with the focus on local giving and service and the establishment of a greater contributing presence for FUUSE in the community.  The Outreach mission statement was adopted as follows:  The Outreach Committee reaches beyond FUUSE walls by providing meaningful ways to connect, support and enrich others through service, spirit and financial contributions.  In addition to researching and selecting local non-profits for our monthly Give-It-Away offering with a focus on homelessness, hunger, and youth and elderly, we also organize the yearly Thanksgiving baskets for SAU 16, Senior Santa gifts for Rockingham Meals on Wheels, collecting food for End 68 Hours of Hunger, CROP Walk, and assisting collection for Dignity Matters.  FUUSE supports these efforts wholeheartedly as we make a positive difference in our larger community.  Thank you!!  

Elvanto Merger
You may have seen a notification that the company that provides our church management system, Elvanto, is merging with another company. This should be good overall for the services available to us, and will even reduce the total cost to FUUSE. Don't expect to see big changes. What you have used in Elvanto will stay much the same for the foreseeable future. The name will gradually change. As a result, we will begin referring to it as "chums," or FUUSE ChMS.  Improvements should come faster than they have in the past. Elvanto -- an Australian company specializing in church management -- has merged with a march larger American company named Tithe.ly, whose main product has been an online payment system, much like the MoGiv system FUUSE has used. MoGiv will continue to connect and work with the FUUSE administrative systems in Elvanto, while we direct new online givers to the less expensive and similar tithe.ly online donation platform.
