Text To Give

Payments can be via text to 360-345-3933. Text the dollar amount you wish to give and press send. For example: $50. Your gift will be designated to BUF’s General Fund.

If you have donated by text before, you’ll receive a text in response confirming that your gift has been received successfully and you’re done.

If it’s the first time you are donating by text, you’ll be sent a message that says, “It looks like you are a new giver; to begin: (link provided)”. The link will take you to the church’s online giving page. You will be asked to supply your payment method (credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer). Your payment source will then be linked with your phone number so that, in the future, all you will need to do is text in the amount. You will not need to re-enter your payment information.

plate
humanitas
sejc
taize
cnd
fair
retreat
uplift

An example text would be: $50 humanitas. Remember to include a space between your dollar amount and your keyword.

You may also indicate the frequency with which your gift is processed. If no frequency is indicated in the text, your gift will be processed as one time gift. The options are:

weekly
bi-weekly
monthly
yearly

Examples: $50 yearly (this would be $50 once a month to BUF’s General Fund); $10 Humanitas Monthly (this would be $10 a month to Humanitas).

Other Keywords:

refund: refunds the previously given gift
