Many people already know that text donations are great for disaster
relief, but they are just as effective for charitable donations. Mobile
giving empowers donors by putting the power to give in their hands,
especially when used to supplement your other fundraising campaigns.
Easter
Seals of Puerto Rico provides services to thousands
of children and adults with disabilities. Each year, it hosts a
successful fundraising
telethon, Easter Seals Day. This year they enhanced their fundraising
efforts
with mobile technology and raised $11,380 in text donations in just one
day! Corky Burger is President of Media Ventures Group, a firm
that helped organize Easter Seals Day.
“Give by Cell is professional and a great service. We had an
annual telethon conducted by Easter Seals. It was our first time using
text
messaging for donations and we were very successful,” said Corky.
“It
exceeded our expectations and we look forward to working with Give by
Cell in
the future.” Mobile giving campaigns are also a great way to
reach out to a younger audience and build an entirely new donor base. A
new study conducted by the Pew Research Center recently revealed that
19% of cell phone users between the ages of 18 - 29 have made charitable
donations via text message. Click on the below link for more information: Attention Non-profits: Young Adults Love Texting Donations
