Turn a text into a donation in one tap.

Pulse lets nonprofits accept gifts by text-to-give, set up recurring donors, and take phone-a-thon and event payments — so giving is frictionless and card data never touches your volunteers.

The challenge

What’s slowing collection down.

Donation friction — forms, logins, mailed checks — costs you gifts.

Phone-a-thons and events have volunteers keying card numbers, a PCI and privacy risk.

Turning one-time donors into recurring givers is manual.

How Pulse helps

Built for nonprofits, on one secure platform.

Text-to-give

Supporters tap a secure link and give in seconds — no app, no login, and SMS gets a ~98% open rate.

Recurring donors

Convert one-time gifts into automatic monthly giving on a securely vaulted method.

Phone-a-thon & events

Take pledges and event payments by phone by keypad, so volunteers never handle a card.

AI thank-you & reminders

An AI voice or text agent confirms gifts, thanks donors, and follows up on lapsed recurring donations.

Branded giving portal

A self-service page where donors give and manage recurring gifts, under your organization’s brand.

No card with volunteers

PCI DSS Level 1 and tokenized — card data never touches volunteers, staff, or recordings.

See pay-by-phone & text-to-pay, the payments product, or the PCI DSS Level 1 security model.

FAQ

Nonprofits payments, answered.

What is text-to-give?

Text-to-give sends supporters a secure link by SMS to make a donation. They tap it and give on a tokenized page with no app or login, which converts far better than forms or mailed appeals because it’s frictionless.

Can we set up recurring monthly donors?

Yes. A one-time gift can vault a payment method and convert into automatic monthly giving, with reminders if a recurring gift lapses.

How do phone-a-thons stay secure?

Donors enter card details by keypad straight into the gateway, so volunteers and staff never see or key the number, keeping card data out of your PCI scope.

Is donor card data secure?

Payments run on PCI DSS Level 1 rails with tokenized vaulting, so raw card numbers never touch your volunteers, staff, or systems.

Does it work for events too?

Yes. Take event registration and on-site payments by text, phone, or a branded portal on the same platform.
