Donr vs OpenFn

Donr is web-based fundraising technology for UK charities, combining campaign management, text donations, raffles, and reporting. A secure dashboard manages multiple campaigns, while Text Giving accepts one-time or monthly donations through supporters’ phone bills or prepaid credit. Charities can create unlimited keywords, customize messages, collect Gift Aid, and enable recurring donations. Reporting shows donations in real time. Text Raffles support suggested donation amounts and tailored supporter messages, with a free-entry option that Donr says supports relevant gambling-regulation compliance. The service lists direct billing connections with EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone. Donr says it regularly tests platform security, separates donations in a Barclays client premium account, and limits personal-data access to people with a business need. Text Giving and Text Raffles each cost £5 a month, with 5% plus VAT per donation and processing capped at £5 plus VAT per monthly payment.
