Donate to CAFOD using Text Giving.
Text LENT10 to 70460 to donate £10 (enough to provide a hard-to-reach community with corn seeds for planting season).
Texts cost the donation amount plus one standard rate message and you’ll be opting in to hear more about our work and fundraising via telephone and SMS. If you’d like to give £10 but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text LENTNOINFO10 to 70460. For more information please see our privacy notice.

About Text Giving
Using Text Giving is easy! All you need is your mobile phone – no credit cards or bank transfers are involved. Your donation will then be added on to your phone bill.
We have partnered with Donr, a Text Giving service provider to launch this.
For each text you send, you will be charged the amount stated plus your standard network charge. You can text more than once to donate more, or you can donate a custom amount, but there is a £20 limit per mobile number per day.
We work with Donr, a Text Giving service provider, to enable donations to CAFOD via text.
In most cases, your donation will show up on your phone bill as ‘donr.com’. However, this can differ on occasion depending on how your mobile network operator presents their documents. Occasionally, your donation may show up as ‘DonateToday’ which is what Donr was formerly called.
By texting you will be opting in for further communications. This means that we will be able to use your mobile number to send you further information about how your donation has helped us to reach the most vulnerable people around the world.
If you would like to opt out of further communications, but still want to donate, then you can text the same number and add NOINFO at the end of the keyword. For example, texting LENTNOINFO instead of LENT would opt you out of any further communications with us.
Donating to CAFOD using Text Giving
You can donate a custom amount by texting the word LENT followed by the amount you want to donate. For example, texting LENT20 would donate £20.
If you would like to donate a custom amount and opt out of further communications from CAFOD, you can do so by following a similar logic. For example, by texting LENTNOINFO20.
The maximum amount you can donate is £20 per mobile number per day.
If you would like to set up a regular gift to CAFOD you can do so on our regular donation page, but you can't do that currently by text.
After you have made your donation, you will receive a ‘thank you’ text which will give you the option to make a Gift Aid declaration.
Costs and donations
Donr charges a 5% transactional fee (which is standard for any form of transaction) per donation. Any Gift Aid claim that is made on top of this isn’t subject to a transactional fee.
Donr sends all donations straight into our CAFOD bank account, meaning they are nice and secure.
