Limited, the not-for-profit text-based fundraising service.
Textbox, who provide
the platform used by Smstextgiving for its charity

 

donations service, are to provide the company with a range of additional services
including prize draw and competition modules.

 

 

This will allow Smstextgiving’s charity clients to run prize draws in the run-up
to Christmas, together with regular incentivised giving campaigns.

 

 

Smstextgiving says that where text giving is linked to some form of reward, through
entry into a prize draw, or the opportunity to win a prize, “the amounts raised 
by charities is greatly increased.”

 

 

Graham Burrough of Smstextgiving added: “The first of our Christmas Charity competitions
to go live will be with our

 

partners Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, which is planned to run from 3 November
to 18 December 2003, with a prize of a luxury weekend for two in a leading London
hotel.”
