How do we define mobile?
Text Messaging– Costs: Standard messaging fees for donors; setup and annual processing fees for nonprofits
– Limits: Set dollar amount
– Pros: Mobile giving does not require a credit card; approx. 263 million mobile phone subscribers in the US, compared
to only 221 million on the internet, and only 112 million households with television
Mobile Apps– Costs: as much as $30,000 or more
– Limits: Donation processing still tricky, especially to multiple nonprofit projects or fundraisers
– Pros: Provides a much cleaner, more FUNctional experience for mobile users
Mobile Optimized Sites– Costs: Dependent on your current website design and creation costs, check with your web design team
– Limits: Only limited by design and imagination
– Pros: Lower cost and cross platform functional

MOBILE STRATEGY
Examples from Minnesota Nonprofits
HOWA Family
Center found that the easiest way to
communicate with their volunteer mentors (high
school students) was through text messaging.
Anecdotally, it’s working to engage more mentors.
Texting and GiveMN Mobile could work for engaging
young donors.
