GROW YOUR GIVINGWITH APLOS TEXT TO GIVE

Leveraging Your Full System To Grow

Your accounting may be the backbone of the back office, but your income keeps the doors open and fuels your mission.

That’s why Aplos is here to not only make it simple and streamlined to receive payments, but to also help you grow your giving.

Text to Give

Text to Give lets you equip tech-savvy donors that don't carry cash or checks, enabling you to increase giving.  • Receive unlimited gifts by text message

through your unique toll-free number.

• One time or recurring gifts can be set up in seconds. 

• Create short codes to make it easy for donors to give to a specific purpose.

• Transactions are automatically tracked for contribution statements.

Digital Tithe Option for Churches

Make it possible for more people to respond to the call to tithe during the service, rather than relying on everyone carrying cash or check.

Ask people to use text to give at an outside church event such as a missions meeting, special cause or fundraising event.

Event attendees can respond immediately to your ask for donations, rather than waiting at a table or remembering when they get home.

How it works

A new Text to Give donor will be asked to: ◦ Provide basic contact information that will

be automatically added to the organization’s Aplos database

◦ Confirm their gift amount, the purpose of the gift, and if it is a recurring gift

◦ Enter a payment method into a form that is encrypted and is PCI-compliant

-

How it works

When a donation is made: ◦ Donor receives a confirmation text

◦ Donors receives an email receipt within 30 minutes

◦ Organization will have the gift automatically tracked in Aplos

-

How it works

Selecting a Purpose with a Code Option 1: Initial setup – The donor can select a default purpose when creating their first Text to Give gift.

Option 2: Texting a Code – Donors can include a short code in their gift text Ex: GIVE 25 MISSIONS

Option 3: Donor Portal – Donors can log into their MyAplos account to select a new purpose.

How it works

Automatic receipt sent by email with your logo and thank you message.

Each online donor can sign into their donor portal to view their donations, download their contribution statement, or manage their recurring donation.
