Helpful Tips for Text-Giving!
• If you only text a monetary value, the funds are attributed to your church’s default fund. (Ex: $50 = will go to default fund). Our default fund is Annual Ministry Plan (AMP).
• If you text “Keywords” you will receive a reply text including a list of the fund names they can choose to donate to.
Our Current Fund Keyword Options are:
Annual
CapitalCampaign
Memorials
Missions
YouthGroup
• If you text the amount + fund name– the funds will be attributed to that fund name. (For Example: $10 Building)
• If the fund name you texted does not match- you will receive a message with a list of fund names for you to choose from. Respond with the number of the correlating fund.
• A good way to get started - just text “Help”. If you text “Help” you will receive a reply text that states: “To give enter the amount you want to give, such as 100. You can also give to a specific fund by typing it after your amount, such as 100 building fund”.
• If you text “Reset” you will receive a reply text that states: “Saved card information successfully removed. Please register your card information again when making your next gift by texting an amount to this number.
Benefits of Online Giving:
• The ease of being able to donate to specific church funds or pay for events online.
• Even when you’re traveling or visiting family away from our four walls, our giving is with you through our website or through text messaging.
• We now even have the ability to set up recurring giving, meaning, you set the amount to want to donate to a certain fund, and it’s paid automatically each month.
• You can login to your giving account and track your donations for the year. Use this for your taxes and set pledge goals for yourself.
