What is Text to Give for churches?

With Text to Give, people can use their smartphones to text how much they want to give to your church ministry. It's a secure way to give from anywhere.

People can give a one-time offering, set up recurring tithes, and choose to cover transaction fees. You receive your gifts quickly and all giving can automatically flow into your accounting in Aplos.

Easy fundraising

Set up unlimited funds for your ministries or fundraisers so members can donate directly to a particular area, such as your missions fund, building fund, or youth ministry.

Your time is important. Cut down on administrative time by automatically tracking text giving and online giving, and collecting contact information.
