JustTextGiving Closure in March 2019

With JustTextGiving closing in March next year, DONATE is stepping up to help all UK charitable organisations by ensuring their text donation service is available immediately to any charity looking for a replacement.

A Free, Charity-Run Alternative

With no joining, monthly, or ongoing fees, DONATE's service - from charity the National Funding Scheme - is the only text platform designed for charities and run by a charity.

Charities can self-administer their campaigns through a secure portal, change their keywords, and have Gift Aid collected - all without charge.

Making the Switch

Charities currently using JustTextGiving can sign up to DONATE without charge. The process is straightforward:

1. Register your charity at nationalfundingscheme.org/text
2. Choose your keyword
3. Set up your giving levels
4. Start fundraising immediately

There is no need for a gap in your text fundraising capability. DONATE can have your new giving service running before JustTextGiving closes.

Why DONATE?

Unlike commercial text giving platforms, DONATE is operated by a registered charity. This means:

• No profit motive - fees are kept as low as possible to maximise charity income
• Self-administration - manage your own campaigns without waiting for support tickets
• Gift Aid included - collected automatically with no additional cost
• No lock-in - no monthly fees mean you only pay when you raise money
