Mobile Giving

Give by Cell:

• Raise money anywhere and anytime by patrons sending a text message authorizing their donation to be charged to their cell phone bill.

• Allows you to design a personal campaign taking advantage of easy to use cell phone text message technology.

• Eliminates the overhead, processing and administration usually associated with transactions.

• Enables you to communicate easily and automatically with your donors.

• Provides robust web-based data on the effectiveness of your campaign and information about your donors.

• Can turn any event into a fundraising tool.

• Send past donors requests to donate on a regular basis.

You Design the Campaign.

Design the campaign to reach your potential donors.  Communicate through signage, brochures, speeches, you website or however you choose.  Everyone in your venue, at your event or on your mailing list becomes a potential donor.

Donors Text Special Code.

Give your potential donors a designated code to send a text message via their cell phone.  They will be asked to confirm their donation of either $5 or $10.  It’s as simple as that.

Cell Phone Carriers Bill and Collect.

Donor pledges will be billed through their monthly cell phone bill.  When the bill is paid to their mobile telephone company the funds are forwarded to the Mobile Giving Foundation, who will then send the funds to you.  

Major cell phone carriers in the United States have agreed to process these pledges at no charge for qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations.

Send Follow-Up Messages and Future Reports.

Through Give by Cell you can send a follow-up “thank you” text to your donors.  You can have additional messages sent throughout the month as appropriate for your campaign, seeking additional funding.

You can monitor the success of your campaign on our website, where your daily results are posted.  Check statistics, learn what is working, and identify your donors.  Our customer service is available seven days a week.
