SMS for Charities
Run donation appeals, confirm appointments and fill fundraising events with texts your supporters actually read.
Emails get lost, texts get read
A donation appeal buried in an inbox gets lost, and a client who misses an appointment reminder is harder to help. Australian charities use Mobile Message to run appeals and event campaigns to their supporter base, confirm appointments for support services, and send workshop or fundraiser reminders that people actually see in time.
Mobile Message costs from 1.6¢ per message with no monthly fees or contracts, so a charity only pays for what it sends and every dollar saved on comms is a dollar back in the program. Send under your charity's name, let supporters and clients reply straight back into a shared team inbox, and keep your donor and client lists ready for the next campaign.
Donation appeals and fundraising campaigns
Text your supporter base when an appeal is live, with a short message and a link straight to your giving page.
Event and workshop reminders
Remind registered attendees about a fundraiser, information session or training day, with the time and venue in the text.
Appointment and service reminders
Confirm appointments for support services and let clients reply YES or NO, so caseworkers spend less time chasing no-shows.
Supporter surveys and campaign updates
Ask supporters a quick question ahead of a campaign or update them on how an appeal is tracking.
Volunteer coordination and program updates
Let volunteers and clients know about a schedule change or closure at short notice, without waiting on an email to be opened.
