Have you ever dreamed of running a text-to-donate campaign for your charity but thought it was complicated and expensive to launch?
Think again.
The Mobile Giving Foundation Canada’s (MGFC) text-to-donate solution is a simple and affordable way to reach more donors, raise more funds, and make a bigger impact on your cause. You can run a campaign for as little as $100/month, with zero transaction fees, and 100% of the funds raised passed back to the beneficiary charity!
That’s a small price for a game-changing tool that can transform your fundraising potential.
If that sounds too good to be true, it’s really not! Many don’t realize that MGFC is a registered charity itself – its charitable purpose is to use mobile technology to support charitable causes and remove barriers for donors through its text-to-donate solution.
- Reach more donors
Text messaging is the most popular and widely used form of communication worldwide. Not everyone has a credit card, but everyone has texting functionality on their cellphone. Think of how you can expand your reach by adding text-to-donate to your existing fundraising strategy.
- Easy, accessible giving
Text messaging is also the most convenient and hassle-free way to donate. All your donors must do is text a keyword (such as GIVE) to an easy-to-remember 5-digit number (such as 20222) and follow the prompts to complete their donation. They don’t need to visit websites, fill out forms, or make a phone call. They can donate anytime, anywhere, with just a few taps on their phone.
- Make a bigger impact
Text messaging is not only easy for donors but also rewarding and engaging. They can receive instant confirmation and gratitude messages from you, as well as updates and stories on how their donations make a difference. They can also subscribe to recurring gifts, supporting your cause continuously and help you create long-term, sustainable change.
Text-to-donate offers the potential for broader reach and audience engagement. Mobile devices and text messaging are ubiquitous – people are increasingly comfortable with mobile transactions, and many actually prefer it. Accessibility extends your reach beyond traditional geographic boundaries and has the potential to attract a new donor base that you may not have previously reached through more traditional fundraising methods like direct mail.
“The text-to-donate avenue really helped us reach people who are younger and could hopefully convert into long-term donors. It’s now an integral part of our overall branding and a key driver of our fundraising success.”
– Phyllis Kinsman, Sr. Manager of Annual Giving & Marketing at the Janeway Children’s Hospital Foundation (Sept 2024)

One of MGFC’s most significant benefits that differentiates it from other fundraising platforms is its flat monthly fee structure. There are no credit card fees, transaction fees, or processing fees charged to the charity or the donor.
Yes, you read that right. Unlike most fundraising platforms that charge high transaction fees and take a cut from every donation, MGFC charges an affordable flat monthly fee and remits 100% of the funds back to the beneficiary charities.
Every dollar donated goes directly to your cause, not toward fees, helping you raise more, faster.
Don’t believe us? Just look at the numbers.
MGFC’s product has comparable set-up fees to other event-based fundraising tools. The big difference is MGFC does NOT charge charities a 5% transaction fee.
