The Give Text-to-Give plugin transforms your mobile fundraising strategy by allowing donors to contribute to your cause directly from their smartphones, anytime and anywhere. Designed for nonprofits, charities, and community organizers, this powerful tool bridges the gap between inspiration and action. By enabling supporters to donate via simple text messages, you can capture donations in the moment—whether they are at a fundraising event, browsing your social media, or simply feeling moved to give—without requiring them to navigate to a website or fill out complex forms.

Use Cases / Who It’s For
This plugin is an essential tool for any organization looking to modernize its fundraising approach and meet donors where they are: on their mobile devices. It is particularly effective for organizations that host live events, such as galas, auctions, or community gatherings, where you can encourage attendees to donate in real-time. It is also a perfect fit for nonprofits looking to increase engagement among younger, mobile-first donor demographics. By removing the barrier of having to visit a website, you can turn spontaneous moments of generosity into tangible support for your mission.
Setup / How It Works
- Install and Connect: Once the plugin is active, connect it to your Twilio account to manage SMS traffic and ensure your site is linked to your Stripe account for secure payment processing.
- Configure Your Number: Select a dedicated phone number within your Twilio account to handle your organization’s incoming donation texts.
- Associate a Form: Choose the specific GiveWP donation form you want to use for your SMS campaign.
- Promote Your Keyword: Share your dedicated phone number and instructions with your supporters. When a donor texts the keyword, they receive a secure link to register and complete their donation.
