Online Giving

Text Giving

Text Giving allows contributors to give with their smartphones.

It will take your contributors approximately 2 minutes to set up their payment method. Once their first text gift is processed, the payment method is saved for future contributions and allows for a faster and more convenient giving experience.

Text giving is included with our online giving solution.
Attention: To comply with SMS texting terms, add this message to your website and link to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy wherever you mention Text Giving:

Standard text message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Text HELP to 73256 for help. Text STOP to 73256 to cancel.

Text Giving Number: 73256

Text 73256 with your permanent keyword plus the amount. For example, "Realm 50".

All Realm sites with text giving will share the same number. By reserving your unique permanent keyword, contributions will be processed directly to your church. When contributors submit their gifts through text, your church's name will show in the confirmation text, payment form, and on their receipt.

Once a gift is submitted through text, it processes the same as an online contribution.
