Text-to-Give
Text-to-Give gives you a convenient, lightning fast way to donate to LPAG. It takes about 2 minutes for you to set up, and can utilize any payment method saved to your donor's profile, including cards or ACH bank transfers.
This video will show you how easy it is to give using a text message. You can also find step-by-step instructions below.
Setting Up Text-to-Give
It's easy to set up text-to-give… just follow these steps:
Text an amount (example: $5 or $1.00) to the number 84321.
Select your church. A list of churches in the area will be suggested. If your phone number is already a part of the LaPorte Assembly database, you should see LaPorte Assembly listed as a suggested organization.
Enter your email address and, if prompted, your name.
Enter the payment method you'd like to use for text-to-give. If you're already a donor and you've added a payment method before (say, a bank account for ACH or a credit card) then you can optionally log in to access your saved payment methods.
Complete your initial setup donation. The initial donation, in most cases, will go to the default fund (usually the "General" fund). However, donations can be directed to more specific funds using keywords (more on that below).
There is no extra cost to you as the donor (though carrier message and data rates may apply) and there is no extra cost to the church when someone initiates a donation via SMS. There is still a processing fee for the donation which is based on the payment method you select for Text-to-Give.
By default, incoming text message donations will go the LPAG General Fund.
