Want to collect donations by text?  JustTextGiving is a new service that helps charities, no matter how big or small, raise money by text donation. It’s free to set up and run.

JustTextGiving is run by Vodafone and JustGiving. It allows people to donate to your charity quickly and spontaneously, and with no need to give their credit or debit card details.

You don’t need to be a Vodafone customer to donate, or to receive donations, and charities receive every penny that is donated to them. It’s a great service, and easy to set-up.

The drawback is that the service is only available to registered charities.

How does JustTextGiving work?

Charities that sign up for the service create a unique Vodafone Individual Code. When someone wants to donate, they send a text that includes the Code, and the amount they want to donate, to 70070. Donors also have the chance to add Gift Aid to their donations, so that your charity gets an extra 25%.

Get started in four simple steps

1. Call JustGiving free on 0800 007 5103 to get your JustGiving login details
2. Set up a JustGiving account – it’s quick and easy to do, and lets you track donations received by text
3. Add a Vodafone Individual Code (VIC): this is what your supporters will use to text donations to you 
4. Put your VIC on your publicity, so people know they can donate to you by text!
