We know that donors give in a variety of ways - from writing a check, to dropping off cash, to giving online. But what about texting? Mightycause has an easy way for donors to give by simply directing them to text a number with a "keyword" specific to your organization. The number replies with the direct link to your page so your donor can make their gift.
Be sure to make the keyword specific to YOUR organization, not something generic like "GiveLocal 2024".
