What is text to give for churches

Text to give is a tool that allows givers to make a donation by texting a unique keyword to a specific phone number.

Each church has a unique keyword associated with their organization, so donations always go to the right account.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign up for a text to give service. Pro-tip: Text to give is completely free with every Anedot account.
  2. Choose your unique keyword. The best keywords are short and easy to remember.
  3. The text to give provider will provide you with a phone number.
  4. A church member can text the unique keyword to the phone number.
  5. The church member is immediately sent a link to the church’s donation page.
  6. The church member can then make a secure donation.

That’s what makes text to give so appealing for givers. It’s just so simple.
