You do it, we do it, your grandma does it (perhaps a bit slower than the rest of us), but most importantly, your donors do it. Yes, that's right friends, we're talking about texting.

Almost everyone with a phone, smart or otherwise, sends and receives text messages on the daily. And if you want to get jiggy with data, according to Twilio, SMS messages have a 95% open rate. 😳

With 277 million texters in the United States alone, it was only a matter of time before organizations began implementing texting into their marketing and fundraising strategies. We should probably shout out those pioneering party promoters who've been using text messages to get you to RSVP to parties since the late 90s/early 2000s. Texting is so second nature now that you probably don't even realize you're engaging with companies on a weekly basis. Including everything from discount deals from retailers to appointment reminders from your doctor's office to two-factor verification, text engagement is all around us.

While larger organizations like the Red Cross have been using text messaging successfully during crisis situations, how can other nonprofits add text engagement to their year-round fundraising strategy?
