Text to Give vs. Text-to-Donate: What's the Difference?

Short answer: Nothing."Text to Give," "Text-to-Donate," "Text2Give," and "SMS Giving" all refer to the same thing—a mobile fundraising method where supporters text a keyword to donate. Different platforms use different terminology, but the underlying technology is identical.

Historically, there were two methods: carrier-billed donations (charged to phone bills, limited to $5-$10) and text-to-link donations. With the Mobile Giving Foundation closing in 2024, carrier billing is no longer available in the US. Today, text-to-link is the standard—supporters text a keyword, receive a link, and complete their donation with credit/debit cards for any amount. Rally Corp uses this modern approach.
