Really scary.  Every church I've ever been a member has regarded it as
absolutely essential for the amount given by an individual to be kept
as secret as possible.  Usually only one person would know.  This is
for the good of those who give fairly little as well as those who give
quite a lot.  I'm not sure if I would even feel comfortable in a
church where that kind of thing was publicly known.
