"DONATE provides us not only with a platform that is easy to use but offering a single text and web service means that supporters can give what they want, how they want.

"The text raffle is so simple and efficient. Everyone took out their mobile and texted one word to a number and that was it! But what really made it fun and dramatic is when the draw was made and the phone call was made to what was a quiet room and somewhere in the room the lucky winner's phone rang. It was one of the highlights of the evening." - Jonathan Levy, guest, Gherkin fundraiser for Bishopsland and FloatArt

"DONATE's silent auction product allowed us to auction off a range of artwork at our fundraiser.
