A training day organised by the Mobile Data Association for fundraisers interested
in the use of charity text fundraising will be held on 24th May 2011 at the offices
of the industry regulator Phonepay Plus in London. The Mobile Data Association (
http://www.themda.org) is the industry organisation that negotiated and introduced
the charity text donation framework.

The event is open to charities of all sizes and will cover everything from the basics
of text donation to how text donation fits into a donor care and fundraising strategy.
The event will also cover competitions and other uses of text.

Sponsored by PhonepayPlus, the Premium Rate Regulator, and Bates Wells & Braithwaite,
one of the foremost Charity legal advisers, this MDA event will draw upon the experience
and expertise of the industry, case studies and tutorial sessions to equip the charities
with all they need to start reaping the benefit of Charitable Donations by Text.
