Text to Give: Digital Giving for Churches
Pushpay’s suite of digital giving tools includes a text-to-give platform designed specifically for churches, empowering your church community to give however and whenever they want.
How Text Giving Works
Donors text a designated keyword and the amount they’d like to give to one of the following numbers: 77977 (USA), 818 (NZ), or 0488 202 202 (Australia).
Donors complete a one-time registration.
Donors confirm the amount and any other required details, such as a credit card number.
Once a donor has made their first contribution, all they have to do is text the amount they want to give to that first phone number, and they’ll receive confirmation of their donation via text and email.
Text Giving Revolutionized How Church Communities Tithe and Donate
Text giving played a major role during the early frontier of digital giving for churches. For the first time ever, church communities were able to tithe and donate to their church and its causes without physically handing over a check or cash.
Since then, the ways in which churches can give digitally has expanded to mobile apps, which offer comprehensive and widespread capabilities. The beauty of utilizing both a church app and text giving functionalities is that it provides people with the power to choose exactly how they want to give.
One option doesn’t negate the others, it just means more options.
Text Giving is Incredibly Convenient
It’s more likely that people are going to have their phones on hand than cash. Once your congregation’s text-to-give accounts are set up with Pushpay, giving will literally take seconds. This provides the freedom to give however much they want, whenever they want.
More Secure Than Passing The Plate
A challenge churches face with depending on physical cash or checks involves the responsibility of handling, securing, and depositing offerings. A lot of things can happen between the moment a parishioner puts money in the plate and when it gets to the bank. Text giving reduces potential security or handling issues.
