Our friend Jason Dick, over at A Small Change Fundraising Blog, ran an excellent series last week on mobile giving. We’ve all seen those ads that ask us to use our cell phones to text a message to a certain number in order to donate money to a charitable cause. How does this type of fundraising work? Who are the major players, and what is the pricing structure? What are the best practices?
The following posts on Jason’s blog answer these questions, and more, and provide an opportunity to bring your opinions and questions into the mix. If you’re interested in mobile giving, check out the following posts on A Small Change Fundraising Blog:
