How is this different from crowdfunding platforms like Charidy or Causematch?
The campaign runs on your own platform: your branding, your donor data, and no per-campaign platform fee. Third-party sites build their database with your donors; 613OS builds yours — and the donors remain yours for the next appeal.
Can donors give by text message?
Yes. Blast your campaign link by SMS or WhatsApp to any segment — all donors, last year's dinner attendees, lapsed givers — and they tap straight into checkout. You can also publish a keyword so supporters text in to give without a link. Every gift posts to the donor's record with the receipt sent automatically, so the campaign thermometer updates live.
Does it support matching campaigns?
Yes. Matching multipliers, countdown clocks, live thermometers, team pages, and ambassador links are all built in — the full giving-day format schools know, running on infrastructure you own.
Are donation receipts automatic?
Yes. Every gift triggers an instant acknowledgment and tax receipt, and year-end consolidated receipts generate automatically — a task that used to consume the office every January runs itself.
Can donors give by card, ACH, or donor-advised funds?
Yes. Cards, ACH bank transfer, and pledges fulfilled through donor-advised funds are supported, and the zero-cost surcharge option means card processing costs need not reduce the donation that reaches the mission.
