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.

The campaign encourages people to text “NET” to “85944” to donate a $10 life saving mosquito net (powered by Causecast Mobile Fundraising and our Text2Give widget) in addition to a “RT2Give” service powered by TwitPay. Each $10 donation will be matched by the Case Foundation, up to $25,000.

In addition to the calls to action being tweeted by Twitter itself to over it’s 3.1 Million followers,  celebrities, leaders and the rest of the online community are being encouraged to retweet the message. Twitter has also set up a microsite for the campaign on it’s Hope140.org site, at http://hope140.org/endmalaria.

The campaign will run through April 27th, and you can follow the twitter hashtag #endmalaria to stay posted on its success!

We think this is an excellent example of how an organization can integrate text donations into their existing social media strategy.

• 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

Free the Slaves works on the ground with liberators around the world. We do what it takes to free men, women and children and help them stay free.

Basic needs for food, shelter and safety from angry slave owners must be met. Then the system that allows slavery to flourish has to be dismantled and another created by former slaves learning to live in freedom.

FTS and the liberators with whom they work with are committed to:

• promoting sustainable, holistic solutions that are owned by the community
• helping vulnerable communities organize to assert their basic rights
• making a difference beyond our immediate communities by sharing successes and failures so that more slaves will be freed faster.

Please take the time to watch Kevin Bales, President of Free The Slaves, in this excerpt of “Dreams Die Hard.”
