Expand Your Reach Through Connected Campaign Tactics

Text to give

Text-to-Give

Text-to-give makes donating fast and friction-free, especially during events, rallies, and urgent moments. Supporters can contribute in seconds from their phones without navigating complex forms.
Social media hashtags

Social Media Hashtags

Campaign hashtags help organize and amplify your message across social platforms. They make it easier for supporters to discover, share, and contribute content tied to your campaign or cause. When paired with SMS outreach, hashtags reinforce visibility and extend engagement beyond a single channel.
Chain fundraising notes

Chain Fundraising “Notes”

Chain fundraising notes encourage supporters to reach out to their personal networks on your behalf. These messages feel more authentic and trusted because they come from someone the recipient already knows. By leveraging personal relationships, campaigns can expand reach without increasing spend.
Pleges

Pledges

Pledges give supporters a low-pressure way to commit to future giving or participation. They help campaigns forecast donations and plan outreach around key deadlines or milestones. By following up with timely reminders, organizations can turn intent into action.
