How Does Text2Give Work?
Causecast gives your organization the ability to raise money via cell phones in only 3 simple steps. Supporters of your cause send a text message to your keyword & short code and their $5 or $10 donation is applied to their cell phone bill.
3 Easy Steps
 |
STEP 1: Call to Action Donors see a call to action at a live event, through Twitter/Facebook, or on television and other forms of marketing. Call to action can be setup for $5 or $10 donations. |
 |
STEP 2: Text “KEYWORD” to “NUMBER” Donors pull out their cell phones and text unique keyword (ex. “GOOD”) to phone number (ex. “20222″). Donor will then receive a confirmation message. |
 |
STEP 3: Confirm Donation Donor confirms the donation by replying “YES,” and then receives a thank you message. Donor will see the donation on their monthly phone bill. |
How Are Donations Billed and Collected?
 |
There is no need for a credit card!
Not only do 87% of Americans use cell phones, but up to 1/4 of consumers in the U.S. live without credit cards. After a donor completes the 3 text2give steps, a $5 or $10 charge will appear on the donors monthly mobile phone bill. |
Distribution of Proceeds
| After a donor has made a donation via text message, a nontaxable charge is added to his/her mobile phone bill. The funds are collected from each carrier by the Mobile Giving Foundation (MGF) and sent to our technology partner, Mobile Cause. Mobile Cause will then write your nonprofit a check. |
