They simply text your keyword to a short code, and a donation is made. The donation is taken from the donor’s phone bill or mobile credit which is user friendly and effective.

Almost 100% of the UK population either own a mobile phone or are familiar with sending a text message. It is not something they need to learn how to use, they can give very easily via a convenient method to them.
GDPR
Our mobile fundraising software is GDPR friendly and is mobile regulatory compliant. Your donors do not need to worry about their mobile number being used without consent, we have a new consent feature which allows you to collect permission from your mobile donors to use their mobile number for future communication. This feature records all opt in and opt outs as well as having many other methods to make your donors feel safe with SMS donations such as texting; STOP and NOINFO to ensure they are not being marketed to.
The above is only to include a few, there is so much to learn with SMS giving and so many benefits to all parties involved. For a copy of any of our e-brochures, contact 028 7087 8220 or help@instagiv.com at any time.
