Frequently asked questions

Are there examples of how to use Donr?

Yes. The best place to start would be our list of case studies. Also, watch out for regular training webinars hosted on our site. These will take you through the many ways in which our charity partners have used Text Giving, Text Raffles, Text Journeys and Giving Pages.

Does Text Giving actually work?

Yes! Text Giving works incredibly well, and we’ve now seen thousands of successful campaigns run through Donr. Text Giving is the most flexible method of taking donations, as almost everyone in the UK has a mobile phone number, and a Text Giving keyword can be used online, on TV, on radio or at live events.

Additionally, you can use your Text Giving campaigns to collect marketing consent. For example, collecting consent after a single donation, then using Text Journeys to convert the supporter to a regular giver.

How much does Donr charge?

With Donr, there are no set up fees and no monthly or annual charges. Instead, our service fees are simply a percentage of each donation you raise. See our pricing page for further detail.

Can you help me plan my campaign?

We often work with larger charities to feed into their campaign planning process. We can help to suggest the best ways to integrate Text Giving, Text Raffles, Text Journeys and Giving Pages into existing or new fundraising campaigns.
