Text to Donate campaigns used to be an effective way to raise funds for registered charities. Unfortunately, today you’ll be hard pressed to find a communications provider that offers this service. So now what? While Text to Donate is out, Online Donations are in! There are numerous different options out there, like Givealittle or GoFundMe, but have you heard of these great alternatives?
EasyGiving
EasyGiving is a donation platform that allows people to donate to various New Zealand charities either online or via an app on their mobile phones. All they have to do is create a free account and bam, they can donate wherever, whenever, to whomever they want. For more information on EasyGiving itself, click here www.easygiving.nz
So why not see whether you can get involved and partner with EasyGiving as a charity? For more information on how to do this, contact Ainsleigh Karauria-Henry (Customer Care Specialist): ainsleigh.kh@easygiving.nz
