What is Mobile Giving?

Mobile giving is a proven fundraising technique where donors can give to an organization or fundraising campaign on a phone or mobile device. Online giving encompasses mobile giving but also occurs on laptops and desktops. Mobile giving comes in many forms, like Text to Donate, using QR codes, and mobile donation campaigns. Today, organizations of all types and sizes use mobile giving platforms to bring their audience easy donation and engagement capabilities.

Benefits of Mobile Giving Campaigns

Mobile giving campaigns provide key benefits for organizations.

Global Engagement techniques

Mobile giving allows organizations to increase their global reach, as your group connects to constituents by engaging with them where they are.

Simplified Donations

Mobile giving simplifies the donation process for donors. The easier it is to donate, the better, right? Donations can be made in a few screen taps, providing a simple, secure user experience.

Young Donors

Mobile giving increases supporter engagement. Integrating mobile giving shows constituents that your nonprofit is tech-savvy and responding to current trends. Younger donors especially will want to engage with these cool tools.

Donate Anytime

Mobile giving campaigns allow donors to give whenever they’re inspired. That means a shorter turnaround time and higher conversions for your organization.

How Does Mobile Giving Work?

With our mobile-first platform, we have integrated the latest mobile giving features to make it easier for you to promote your fundraiser.

Digital Wallets are part of mobile giving techniques

Digital Wallets

We offer mobile donations via Apple Pay and Google Pay, allowing many smartphone users to donate without entering credit card details. When a donor doesn’t have to type out credit card details, it makes donating faster and more feasible from anywhere. With just one click, our mobile technology allows Apple Pay and Google Pay users to donate to your fundraiser.

Text to Donate

Our Text to Donate feature allows donors to easily support your organization anytime and anywhere, right from their mobile phones. Supporters will text your fundraising campaign’s keyword to a designated phone number. In return, they will receive a link to your website, auction item (Text to Bid), or other feature to make a simple mobile donation.

 This is not the same as true text-to-give. Text to give is a carrier-based mobile fundraising method that allows supporters to easily donate via a text message to qualified charities. Supporters simply text a keyword to an organization’s shortcode (rather than a full phone number) and a specified donation is added to the supporters’ phone bill. Fees apply.

Mobile Giving Terminology

Confused about the difference between mobile responsive vs. mobilized? Mobile terminology is new and can be confusing. Here are the basics of working with mobile.

Mobile giving for Nonprofits can work for you!

Mobile-Responsive

Mobile responsiveness refers to a webpage’s ability to resize, pan, and scroll depending on the device where the site is being viewed. This greatly improves the mobile user’s website experience, since each screen size is different.

Mobile-Friendly

Mobile-friendly webpages are visually appealing and fit within the confines of a mobile device’s screen. There are more and more common, but you certainly know when you see a website that just does not work on mobile. That’s not friendly!

Mobile First

Mobile-first is a technology development strategy whereby a web presence is designed for mobile devices first and desktop devices second. This methodology revolutionized IT development and is essential for successful eCommerce and fundraising since constituents are increasingly on mobile devices.
