Mobile Fundraising offer a unique, safe and convenient way for your audiences to make a contribution to your Nonprofit. Today, everybody has a mobile device and by texting a simple keyword you can make a secure tax-deductible gift or payment without making a call or sharing personal credit card information.   It takes seconds and you retain a net of 90%- (initially 85%).

How it works
The process is similar to voting on the TV program American Idol. Potential donors are prompted on TV or other media to text a key word such as "AID" to a short code "55000" and this is all it takes, Text "AID" to 55000 to contribute $10 to the X-foundation.  The appeal and instructions may be communicated to prospective audiences by electronic or print media, website, e-mail, billboards or print materials.

Enabling the Mobile Channel For Charitable Giving
Mobile Fundraising brings the power and reach of mobile phones to nonprofit organizations as a new fundraising and donor interaction mechanism. Non profits can leverage the ubiquity of mobile without the complexity, expand and cultivate a new base of givers and create permissive donor interaction

Efficient fundraising tool
