Hi! 

Have any organizations used Text-to-Donate ? If so, please share what service you use & your experience with it so far.

Thank you for any information you are able to share, it's greatly appreciated.

Would love to know what people are using too. It seems like it would be a great idea! 

Hi Jennifer,

I know this is waaay late in replying to your original post, but I think it's still relevant.

We have used text-to-give, but it's not something we are focused on. We've never seen text-to-give take off as a viable option for ongoing fundraising. I think a lot of nonprofits have experience this, too. Text-to-give is much more effective for emergency response, such as natural disaster relief.

That said, text instead could be useful as an engagement tool. Send the user/donor info about upcoming events (or follow up with a link to pictures from an event), that you sent out the latest enewsletter, their sustaining payment went through. Just little updates and/or reminders to keep them aware of and engaged with the org.

Hope that helps a bit.
