A text-to-give SMS campaign is a great way to collect donations for your non-profit or fundraiser without asking your contributors to do too much, and without having to go door-to-door or manage a large social media campaign! A simple text can collect donations, and using a good text message marketing software can help make your text-to-give campaign seamless.

Who Can Benefit From a Text-to-Give Campaign?

Any organization or event that needs to raise funds can benefit from a text-to-give campaign, such as:

• Churches - many people don’t carry cash anymore. Members of your church’s congregation can donate easily and quickly with a text-to-give software.

• Non-profits - a text-to-give software can allow people to donate to a non-profit securely with just a few taps on their smartphone. All donations go directly into an account to keep your donations organized and centralized. 

• Informational websites - if you run a website that offers free tutorials or information, ask your readers to donate to keep your services going!

• Individuals - raising money to help a stray dog hit by a car or support a family in a developing country? Use a text-to-give software to raise money for your cause!

• Politicians - raising money to go on the campaign trail? A text-to-give campaign can help raise campaign funds.

Text-to-Give Tips

Utilizing text message alert software to run your donation campaign can quickly raise funds, but there are a few tips to follow to ensure that you do it the most effective way:

• Make your forms simple - your contributors may not want to fill out a long questionnaire when donating. Keep your forms simple and to the point.

• Ask How Much They Would Like to Donate - when your contributors text in, ask how much they would like to donate before sending them to a form. This helps to solidify the donation in their mind before going through the registration.

• Send a Great Thank You - It’s very important when running a text-to-give campaign to send a heartfelt thank you to those who donate. Making your contributors feel good about donating may just inspire them to do it again!

• Encourage Contributors to Opt-In to your Main List - ask those who donate if they’d like to receive additional text message alerts about your organization. This will help grow your subscriber list overall.
