Yes there is a way your church can get a credit card. Are you properly set up as a non-profit organization and church?

If not then you need to find someone that incorporate non-profit corporations and churches.

Once you have established your non-profit and the name has been accepted by the state, you should get an EIN number from the United States Government. This is like your Social Security Number only they are issued to corporations as well as non-profits.

The person that did your incorporation should be able to get your EIN number, though you can do it yourself. If you are not accustom to this allow the person doing your corporation to get your EIN number.

Now once you have your non-profit corporation go to Staples and Office Depot and apply for a credit card. They normally issue one with ease.

The next thing you want to do is call Dun and Bradstret. Ask them if they know anything about the non-profit. They will say no because they have not heard of it as of yet.

Before you call Dun and Bradstret make sure the non-profit has a telephone number that is listed in the telephone book. Therefore it can not be a cell phone. It has to be a telephone you can have the telephone number listed in the regular telephone book and can be accessed by calling 411.

Now by you calling Dun and Bradstret it will trigger them to look up the non-profit and call about the organization. You may answer the phone.

They will ask how long the corporation has been formed. Tell the corporation was formed based on the church and the church is how old. They will also want to know a little about the financial condition of the church, so be prepared to give them an accounting of how much you have in the bank (Don't have to be much) Potential earnings (again don't have to be much)

This conversation will establish this non-profit a credit report. Now you have the responsibility to protect that credit. After about 6-12 months you should be getting offers from credit card companies. You will have to be able to pay the credit cards so you should have an adequate bank account as well as income to support on going projects

I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.

Virtually any card issuer will have organizational or business accounts.
