Donors who feel appreciated give again. Those who feel like ATMs don't. ### Respect Donor Preferences Only text supporters who have opted in. Provide a clear opt-out in your messages and honor unsubscribe requests immediately to maintain trust. ### Share Specific Impact Numbers Instead of "your donation helps," say "your $50 provided 200 meals." Concrete impact stats increase donor retention and future giving. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can nonprofits legally text donors and supporters? Yes, as long as you have prior express written consent. Collect consent through donation forms, volunteer sign-ups, or event registrations. Always include an opt-out option in your messages. ### How often should nonprofits text their supporters? Keep it to 2-4 texts per month. Focus on a mix of impact updates, gratitude, and occasional asks. Over-texting leads to opt-outs and donor fatigue. ### Is texting better than email for nonprofit fundraising? Texting and email work best together. Texts have a 98% open rate and are ideal for time-sensitive appeals and quick updates. Email is better for detailed stories, reports, and longer content. ### What should a nonprofit include in a fundraising text? Keep it personal and concise: use the donor's first name, state the specific need or goal, include a direct link to donate, and express genuine gratitude. Avoid sounding like a mass blast. ### How can I increase donations through text messaging? Segment your audience, personalize every message, share concrete impact stats, and make donating easy with a one-tap link. Follow up donation appeals with thank-you texts to build long-term relationships. ## Related Resources [ Templates Church Templates ](/templates/churches)[ Templates Event Templates ](/templates/events)[ Solution Quick Send for Nonprofits ](/solutions/nonprofits) Hi Mary, appointment tomorrow at 3pm πŸ“… Hey Carlos β€” open house Sat 2pm, see you there 🏑 Sarah, you're all set for Tue at 10am βœ…βœ¨ Hi Jordan β€” invoice #4421, due Friday πŸ’³ Hi Kim, your prescription is ready for pickup πŸ’Š Alex, package delivered β€” enjoy! πŸ“¦πŸ’š Hi Marcus β€” estimate ready, call us to book πŸ”§ Hi Priya, we saved your spot for 4pm today ⏰ Hey Dana β€” parent-teacher conf.
