Seattle Tech Quote of the Week

“It was really incredible seeing how generous people were being to their church communities in a time of crisis. We could see that, when stimulus checks came through, people were tithing with those checks. [On the flip side,] as people were losing jobs or unable to pay rent, our churches stepped up, donated and cared for thousands if not millions of people throughout this last year. You could see people really coming together and donating to those causes through our customer organizations.” —Molly Matthews, Pushpay CEO
