**Charity donation service DONATE has launched a new, simpler registration process
for charities seeking a text donation service.**

The new page is available at [www.nationalfundingscheme.org/text](http://www.nationalfundingscheme.org/text).
The single registration page enables charities to identify their preferred keyword,
and submit their registration request. Authorisation will normally happen within
the day giving charities access immediately to £1, £3, £5, £10 and £20 text-donation
channels using the chosen keyword. DONATE has no set-up, monthly or annual fees 
and charges 4.5% per donation.

­The development comes ahead of this March’s closure of JustTextGiving.

The [My Name’5 Doddie Foundation](https://www.myname5doddie.co.uk/), which launched
in November 2017, has raised over £25,000 using Text to Donate, while last summer,
[St Cadoc’s Youth Club](https://www.stcadocs.co.uk/) raised just under £20,000 with
DONATE’s charity text raffle service. Given two tickets to the Champions League 
final in Kiev in June 2018 by former Scotland international Tony Higgins, it offered
them as a raffle prize. Entrants had to text the word KIEV18 to DONATE’s service
to be in with a chance of winning. Each entry was a donation of £5 and the Club 
got 3975 donations over two weeks, raising £19,870.
