Just Text Giving

JustTextGiving (JTG) is a way that people can give to your church through their mobile phones. If your church is a registered charity, you can sign up to JTG and allow people to give a donation to your church by sending a text message with a unique code.

This is free of all charges for donor and recipient. However, JTG will only allow registered charities to sign up. If you’re a parish with an income over £100k and are registered as a charity, this may be a good way to encourage infrequent visitors to your church to give money.

Parishes can then display the JTG code in their church and at events and donors can donate by text for free using the unique code. Each parish can also access branded posters to publicise the donation method in their church, and donors can add Gift Aid to the text-donation too.

If your parish is not a registered charity, but might be interested in signing up, please contact Catherine Evans, the Diocesan Finance Manager. If we have enough parishes which are not regsitered charities interested in getting involved, we will try to find a solution. Contact Catherine Evans on catherine.evans@yorkdiocese.org or call 01904 699537.
