Donr
Newcastle upon Tyne, England, UK
What it is
Donr provides fundraising technology for UK charities through a secure dashboard that manages multiple campaigns. Text Giving lets supporters make one-time or monthly donations through a phone bill or phone credit. Charities can set unlimited keywords, customize messages, collect Gift Aid and offer recurring donations, while reporting tracks donations in real time. Text Raffles support customizable suggested amounts and supporter messages, with a free entry option that Donr says supports relevant gambling-regulation compliance. Donr says it connects directly with EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. It reports regular security testing, separate donation funds held in a Barclays client premium account and restricted access to personal data. Text donations are paid approximately 80 days after month-end; card donations are earlier. Text Giving and Text Raffles each list £5 a month, plus stated transaction charges.
