Causecast Mobile client Fountain Sqaure of Cincinnati has launched a new text2give campaign to help keep their Fountain Square Programming Free & Fun! Fountain Square is the heart of Cincinnati, Ohio. Located at the corner of Fifth and Vine Streets in the middle of downtown, Fountain Square is a public space where Cincinnatians gather, celebrate and connect as a city. Presiding over the Square is the historic Tyler Davidson Fountain, dedicated in 1871 to the people of Cincinnati.
Fountain Square programming is made possible solely by generous sponsorships and grants, so they are always fundraising. To make it easy for people at Fountain Square concerts and events to donate and keep the programing free, Fountain Square launched their text2give program this summer. All you have to do is use the form below or pick up your phone and text “FOUNTAIN” to “85944″ to donate $10 to Fountain Square programming. And don’t forget to reply YES to confirm your donation. It’s that easy!
On May 16th, 2010, musicians, business leaders in New Orleans and community radio station WWOZ-FM came together to create the GULF AID benefit concert to raise funds for wetland recovery efforts, fishermen and their families as oil continues to gush into the Gulf of Mexico from the site of the collapsed deepwater Horizon.
The concert brought together multiplatinum recording artist Lenny Kravitz, who is also a part-time New Orleans resident, as well as Allen Toussaint, John Legend, Mos Def, Ani DiFranco, The Voice of the Wetlands Allstars (featuring Tab Benoit, Dr. John, Cyril Neville, George Porter Jr., Waylon Thibodeaux, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, and many more.
In an effort to increase donations at the event, and harness the excitement, energy, and passion of the attendees at the event, Causecast Mobile Fundraising set up up a text2pledge program for the Gulf Aid Benefit Concert.
Attendees, and even those looking to offer support from across the country, texted “GULF AID (amount)” to “23178″ and pledged to donate ANY amount to help relief efforts in the Gulf.
Proceeds from the concert and the text2pledge donations will be used to stop the oil from destroying our wetlands and provide financial aid to affected fishermen and their families as oil continues to affect the Gulf of Mexico from the site of the collapsed deepwater horizon.

Mobile is a new techonology, and with new technology comes new ideas and ways to engage your supporters. New Life Family Services took a very simple idea and made a quick and easy ask on their Facebook Page. They asked their supporters to donate $10 on the 10th day of the month.
We think this is an excellent example of how an organization can integrate text donations into their existing social media strategy.
