New Text-to-Give Numbers
Jul 1, 2018
Text-to-Give is rapidly becoming one of the preferred methods of donating to Rose Hill Church. Amongst other issues, we heard several of your complaints concerning the challenges you face when attempting to change your credit card information. Therefore, we found it necessary to change from our current text-to-give platform to a more user- friendly system.
The text-to-give system uses the same three (3) simple steps as our previous system.
With each text-to-give transaction, there is a transaction fee. “Covering fees” means that the donor (the person giving the funds) agrees to cover the associated transaction fees on behalf of the recipient (Rose Hill Church). In short, if you select the “covering fees” option, you (the donor) will be charged the transaction fees, and Rose Hill Church will not be charged the associated transaction fees. Call the office with questions or concerns (225-356-5814).
Solution: Since Sarah would like to contribute to three different funds, Sarah will have to send the system three separate text messages in the following formation:
Note: There is a 10-minute time frame to submit a request for a refund. If you would like a refund after 10 minutes, please contact the office.
