Two weeks ago, we asked if you were ready for mobile giving. Today, we’re sharing an article from yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle on the same topic. As the article highlights, in the past it used to take days to reach out to the masses via telephone or mail, now social media allows you to reach hundreds in a few hours. TwitCause reaches 3 million people per month, and CauseWorld is raising an average of $200,000 per month for community organizations via mobile phone apps. Wow.
Some studies estimate that of the $307 billion charitable dollars donated in 2008, 30% was donated online. How has social media changed your fundraising? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.
