SMS fundraising ideas

Howard Lake | 4 October 2007 | Blogs

If you’re interested in SMS fundraising then take a look at mobileactive.org, which promotes the use of mobile phones for all forms of civic action.

As well as providing lots of data relating to worldwide mobile phone use (usefully split by country) and a very active blog, you can also download a number of strategy guides – including one on using mobile phones in fundraising campaigns.

You need to register to use the site and download the guides, but it’s completely free and well worth a look if you’re thinking of adding mobile communications to your fundraising or advocacy programmes.

You might also have a think about the potential of t-shirts that text back – which I spotted a while ago.
