Breeze (Membership Directory)
If you have an account in BUF’s membership database, you can log into Breeze and go to the giving page by clicking the “Give Now” on the menu options above your profile page. If BUF already has your banking information, you will not have to provide it since the transaction will already be connected to your account.
The third drop down box on the giving page will default to your current payment method with BUF. You can use the drop down box to select a new credit/debit card or ACH.
You can directly access your Breeze account’s giving page by clicking here. You will be asked to provide your Breeze user name and password. You will be directed to the same giving page as those who use the Breeze menu option “Give Now”.
If you need assistance accessing your BUF Breeze account or wish to create a Breeze account, please contact our office.
Text To Give
Payments can be via text to 360-345-3933. Text the dollar amount you wish to give and press send. For example, if you text $50 to the Text To Give number, your $50 gift will be designated to BUF’s General Fund.
If you have donated by text before, you’ll receive a text in response confirming that your gift has been received successfully and you’re done.
If it’s the first time you are donating by text, you’ll be sent a message that says, “It looks like you are a new giver; to begin: (link provided)”. The link will take you to the church’s online giving page. You will be asked to supply your payment method (credit card, debit card, or ACH bank transfer). Your payment source will then be linked with your phone number so that, in the future, all you will need to do is text in the amount. You will not need to re-enter your payment information.
To designate your gift to a specific program or fund, text the dollar amount followed by a program or fund keyword. The keywords available are: plate, humanitas, sejc, taize, cnd, fair, retreat, and uplift. You may also indicate the frequency with which your gift is processed. If no frequency is indicated in the text, your gift will be processed as one time gift. The options are: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, yearly.
Remember to include spaces between the amount, keyword, and frequency. Examples: $50 yearly (this would be $50 once a month to BUF’s General Fund); $10 Humanitas Monthly (this would be $10 a month to Humanitas).
Texting refund will refund the previously given gift. Texting update allows you to update your payment method or recurring gift. Your text giving number will respond with a link where you can make these changes.
If you have any questions regarding Text to Give, please contact our office.
