12 best text-to-give platforms for nonprofit fundraising

Text fundraising for nonprofit organizations is on the rise. Between 2023 and 2024, fundraising revenue from text messages grew by 37%, according to the latest benchmarks. More and more nonprofits are finding success with SMS messages, thanks to their high open rates and the ease of donating from mobile devices. If your organization isn’t leveraging text-to-give platforms yet, you are probably leaving donations on the table. 

Before you can tap into this growing fundraising avenue, you first need a way to create, personalize, and send text messages at scale. That’s where text-to-donate platforms come in. In this guide, we’ll review the top options available and tips for choosing the right fundraising software.

What are text-to-give services?

Text-to-donate, also known as text-to-give, is a type of fundraising in which donors can initiate giving via text on their mobile devices. While some text-to-give campaigns work by charging the gift to donors’ phone bills, most campaigns leverage text-to-donate services and use the following process:

1. A donor texts a specific keyword (like “DONATE”) to your organization’s designated text-to-donate phone number.
2. Your nonprofit immediately responds with a link to your mobile-optimized donation page.
3. The donor fills out the form on your online donation page to make their gift.

Instead of having to navigate to your website and track down your donation page when they want to give, all donors have to do is text one word and click on a link. This makes fundraising as easy as sending a simple text, making it fit seamlessly into your broader strategy. 

To run a mobile giving campaign successfully, your nonprofit needs a text-to-donate service or platform to streamline and manage this process. Intuitive text fundraising software allows you to leverage automation, easily track fundraising results, and boost the efficiency of text-to-donate for you and your donors. Below, we’ll explore several platforms that help you do just that.

After we built out the platform, they made sure we had the training to use it and feel confident for the day of the event. Even during our event, they checked on us and made sure we could continue with the success.” — Amanda A.

“Overall I would say this is a product hard to beat at the price point it is being offered. In addition, it seems things are only getting better as new features are added. Tithely is the best giving platform out there for churches. In addition, they include a feature set that is hard to beat. Price is doable for all size churches. The features are immense (pretty much has all you will need). The app and website are easy to create and are attractive to the eye. 2-way messaging is great!” — Chance S. 

“Tithe.ly has blessed our church! Any glitches or questions have quickly been resolved by the tech team. Pros: Super streamlined reports of our church donations.

The wait time for a donation to post, especially from a bank account, is sometimes lengthy.” — Nancy V.

Reviews

“I love the text to give […] option that is customizable and tied into a campaign and the ability to have multiple campaigns is awesome. […] It’s pretty great to not have to pay a monthly or annual fee for a fundraising product where you can text to give and support a peer to peer fundraiser. There are a few add ons that I think would be helpful, like a CRM integration or the ability to message out from this platform. The offerings are basic but FREE so I’m really not complaining.” — Ellie B. 

“My overall experience with Give Lively has been positive, and it has fulfilled my basic online giving platform needs. The platform is super easy to use and set up. It makes your giving page look professional and user-friendly. Some features are not customizable. Not all donor data is collected on every transaction due to the payment options some donors select.” — Svetlana I.

How to choose the best text-to-give platform

Now that you’ve explored some of the top text-to-donate platforms and services, how do you know which is right for your organization? 

The answer depends on several considerations. When it comes to the platform, you’ll need to consider factors like budget, number of available keywords, and additional features beyond text-to-donate (like outbound donor texting, integration with your CRM, and donation page creation, to name a few). It’s also important to evaluate your current systems and determine if you want a platform that integrates with them or a full-suite fundraising solution.

When you choose an all-in-one option, you’ll have the advantage of streamlining your operations, data management, and more. A solution that houses all of your data and donor information and allows it to interact with each other ensures your team can better build donor relationships and lifetime value.

Once you’ve had a few initial conversations with your nonprofit’s leadership team, take the following steps to select your provider:

1. Consider your needs and budget: Do you only need a standalone text fundraising solution or a comprehensive platform? Is it important to have custom keywords, your own short code, or a toll-free number for mobile messaging? Before moving forward, define your needs, goals, and budget for a text-to-donate service.
2. Outline key features to look for: Once you know what kind of solution you’re looking for, decide which features are most essential. These may include unlimited custom keywords, integration with multi-channel campaigns, or intuitive reporting features.
3. Research text-to-give providers: Dive deeper into the text-to-give services discussed here by visiting their websites, reading reviews from other nonprofits, and requesting more information as needed. You might also ask for recommendations from peer organizations or staff members who have worked with other nonprofits.
4. Demo your top choices: Request live demos of the software you think might be the best fit, and prepare several questions in advance. Discuss your organization’s needs with the provider and see what the platform looks like in action.
5. Choose the best fit for your organization: After evaluating the features, pricing, and integration options of your top choices, work with your nonprofit’s board to choose the best fit.

As you take these steps, don’t forget to consider your nonprofit’s strategic goals and potential for future growth. Ideally, you should choose a text-to-donate platform that can scale with your organization as you explore new fundraising strategies and engage your support base.

Text-to-give best practices

To make the most of your text-to-give strategy, focus on creating a clear, accessible, and donor-friendly process. With concise messaging, strong campaign promotion, and a user-friendly giving experience, you can build long-term supporter relationships and maximize donations.

1. Keep it simple 

Allow donors to give in just a few short steps. The easier, the better. Set short keywords and share clear instructions for users. Eliminate friction by ensuring your donation pages are optimized for mobile.

2. Promote everywhere 

Get the word out about your campaign by sharing your text-to-give number and keyword on social media, newsletters, websites, event marketing, and other materials. The wider you publicize the campaign, the more likely donors will be to engage.

3. Make donating effortless

The easier the donation process, the more likely donors will be to complete their gift. Ensure a simple process with a secure, mobile-friendly donation page, options for recurring giving, and limited fields. Giving should feel as simple as just sending a message to a friend.

4. Thank and update donors

Donor appreciation goes a long way. Show your gratitude by sending automated thank-you emails or texts (and receipts). Over time, follow up with updates on how donors’ contributions are making an impact. Not only does this let you express your thanks, it also helps donors feel like part of your mission.
