We've been working all summer to get this ready, but it's finally here. We're launching Text-to-Give and advanced Payment Methods for all GivingFire accounts, and we're giving it away for free.
        

Text-to-Give

Text-to-Give is the newest way of accepting donations through text/SMS messages sent from a donor's phone. Select a custom phone number, distribute it to your donors, and accept one-time and recurring donations made instantly on the donor's phone. It integrates seamlessly and automatically with the rest of GivingFire, and donors can even view their donation history or check on their recurring donations via text - even if those donations were made on the computer or offline.

Because GivingFire is an all-in-one platform, most of your donors will be able to give instantly with no setup required. For new donors, or existing donors without a saved card or phone number, we provide a quick setup process that takes under a minute to get started. 

Text-to-Give is completely free - unlike other platforms, we don't charge an additional monthly fee or charge for each text sent. If you're interested in learning more, check out our new Helpdesk articles: Text-to-Give Overview and Setting Up Text-to-Give. If you're not a GivingFire client, we'd love to see if Text-to-Give is right for your non-profit, and help you plan and execute a strategy to implement. Our account managers have a wide range of experience with non-profit donation and campaigns, and we'd love to help however we can. 
        

Improved Donation Methods

In addition to Text-to-Give, we've also released better donation method controls for your donors. Logged-in donors can now manually save credit card and ACH payment methods while making a gift, even if they're setting up a one-time donation. There's also a new Payment Methods page in the Donor Dashboard, where donors can manually create and remove payment methods, as well as set the default method for Text-to-Give. Finally, we've improved saved methods throughout the site, making it easier to do things like repair a broken recurring donation with another payment method.
