How to Donate Using Text to Give

Text to Give is a simple, secure, and convenient way to donate to your favorite nonprofit in just a few seconds — right from your phone!

If your nonprofit has Text to Give set up with Overflow, you can use it to donate cash and noncash gifts (e.g., stock and crypto) in just a few taps. 👋🏽

💳 Give Cash by Text

To donate using ACH or a credit/debit card, text the nonprofit's keyword, followed by the amount, to their Text to Give number. (By default, your gift will go to your organization's designated fund.)

  • 📌 Example: Text GIVE 100 to (650) 449-4541 to give $100.
  • 📝 Note: Each nonprofit has a unique keyword and number.

If you’ve donated through Overflow before, your gift will process instantly using your default payment method. ⚡️
