Challenge
JVS LA wanted to integrate mobile-friendly solutions to boost donations and increase engagement across each of their fundraising and communication channels.
Solution
To establish a mobile-friendly approach, JVS showcased mobile pledges on their MobileCause fundraising thermometer at live events and created a mobile-responsive website with a prominent donate button and customized online donation form. In addition, they were also able to build a list of mobile subscribers from their donor records to send text message reminders with updates about their advocacy opportunities to donors and supporters.
Impact
Each of these channels makes it easy for JVS LA donors and supporters to securely give and participate with just a few taps or clicks from a smartphone, tablet or PC. So far JVS LA has collected $93,000 from 410 donors through MobileCause. The organization has also been able to engage with 3,200 subscribers through text message updates.
