  • Text2Give is maturing – 13% of respondents donated via tet message following the Haiti earthquake, compared to only 6% from Cone’s 2009 Consumer New Media Study.
  • 19% would rather text a donation to a cause or nonprofit organization than through other means (e.g. – write a check or donate online)
  • 18% are now more likely to text a donation to their favorite nonprofit organization if it is an available option
