How to Start Text Giving
June 25, 2020
You can now text STMARTINPHILLY to 73256 to give to St. Martin's.
Standard text messaging rates may apply.
Once you set it up the first time, the system will remember your giving information for the future, allowing you to give even more quickly. What will this look like?
Here's an example to walk you through it, step by step with images.
Send a text to "73256" which says STMARTINPHILLY (capitalization does not matter).
You can also include the amount you want to give in the initial text, and the system will auto-populate with that amount. (There is a minimum gift amount of $3.)
Click the link (note that it starts with https://ac.st/ indicating connecting to our secure ACS system) and enter your debit or credit card information. The system defaults to General Giving, but you can also use the drop down to select Pledge Giving.
Check that your information is accurate and submit.
You'll receive a confirmation message on screen....
...and probably a confirmation text as well. You'll also receive an email.
There you go! It's quick, simple, secure*, and it's a touch-free way for us to process your gift. If you have any questions, please contact Natalee Hill.
Thank you for your generosity!
