Text-to-Give Software for Nonprofits
Get Started for Free Get a Demo
Text your donors to ask them to support your cause.
In addition to our standard text messages (like alerts that they’ve been outbid that they’ve won), appeal to mobile bidders by providing them a secure link they can follow to your event page.
Generate custom keywords and let guests at live events know that they can text that keyword to a number in order to donate more to your cause.
Text-to-give texts can be totally customized, or built on templates our platform provides for you. Import your entire donor database and schedule your texts before and during your event.
What is Text-to-Give Software?
Text-to-give is a modern donation method leveraging mobile technology. It simplifies the donation process by allowing people to give via a text message. This approach streamlines fundraising, offering an easy way for supporters to contribute instantly.
The process begins with a donor texting a keyword to a designated shortcode. This action initiates the donation, which can be completed in just a few clicks. Text-to-give stands out due to its convenience and speed, making it an appealing option for both donors and organizations aiming to boost their fundraising efforts.
Give donors more ways to give
Guests can simply reach into their pockets to donate more to your cause. Send their smartphone convenient, automated text messages to boost your bottom line. And better yet, you can run everything from one dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does text-to-give software work?
Our platform helps you send out mass texts (which you customize, of course) that promote your event and allow people to donate directly from their smartphone. You can customize our templated messages or create your own and text your donor database as often as you’d like, within your text credit plan. Donors will be able to support your cause with a few taps of a button.
How do I set up text-to-give messaging?
Buy a custom keyword and receive 1,000 text credits (you can always buy more). Manage your credits and auto-replenishing settings in the Manage Text Credits section of your Auction Dashboard. When credit balance falls below 100 credits, we will auto replenish based on your chosen plan by charging the credit card on file. Text Message Credits will never expire and will roll over to your next auction, although no refunds will be issued for unused text message credits. Text Message Credits will be deducted for all custom text messages, scheduled messages and keyword replies sent.
