Text-to-give is our most popular way to give on the go! Text-to-give simply involves a donor to text your organizations custom number with the amount they'd like to give.

Getting Started

1. Log in as an administrator to your organization’s Continue to Give account.   
2. From the Dashboard, click Go to Purposes and you will be presented with your main organization and a list of Purposes
   
3. Under the Organization heading, click Promote
4. In the window that opens up, create a Text-to-Give custom number by entering the organization's area code and click Show Numbers.
   
5. A list of numbers to choose from will populate. (Note that mobile options are grouped by project starting with the primary organization listed first)   
6. Select a number of your choosing from the list. If you have multiple projects and would like each project to have its own Text-to-Give Custom number, repeat the steps above for each project.  Each text to donate number is specific to each project and your main account.

Once the phone numbers have been selected, you pass the phone number along to your donors!

More About Text-to-Give

1. Can I still split donations to multiple projects using the new Text-to-Give functionality?

No, you will only be able to make one donation at a time. Each project has a unique number and the funds will be directed based upon the phone number the donor texts to.

2. Does the new Text-to-Give cost extra?

Yes, for each phone number you create a $10 monthly fee is billed to your account. We recommend using Text-to-Give for high profile projects generating donations. Text-to-Give is also great for special fundraisers and events!

3. If I choose not to use Text-to-Give what other Mobile Giving can I use?

You don’t have to add Text-to-Give to your account. You still have access to the free Text Link feature.  In addition, all account/project have the free QR code mobile option and the Giver’s App as well. The Giver’s App allows for quick donations to your organization through a mobile app and accommodates recurring donation setup and designated giving.

For the Donor - How it Works

1.First, text an amount to the number provided by your organization. The first time you will be prompted to register your phone. By making this first donation through the registration process you will donate and a profile will be created on the Continue to Give portal.

Once your phone is registered, the Continue to Give system remembers you! Any time you wish to donate to the organization, you just text the amount of the donation and a receipt is emailed to you, a text confirmation displays, and your account is charged for the donation! Donating, tithing, and pledging just got easier!
