This College Program Agrees: Mobile Really Gets Donors Engaged

Every day, educational institutions rely on cutting edge technology to help their students. They say technology is the way of the future — and it produces the best results. 

That’s why countless nonprofits in the educational sector use mobile technology in their fundraising strategies. One nonprofit, College Visions in Providence, Rhode Island, uses Engage by Cell’s Screencast Thermometer at its events to get donors engaged and excited to give. 

“We wanted to spice up our live ask,” says fundraising consultant Joanne Rich. “We’d seen Engage by Cell work at other events and it had the best price.” 

Mobile Giving allows  donors to text in to donate an amount and watch the funds rise in real-time on the displayed Screencast Thermometer, making the act of giving fun and intuitive. 

Engage by Cell is also easy for both donors and organizations to use. Rich reports, “It was easy to reconcile donors and donations, so the after-event work was quick and easy. Engage by Cell’s Mobile Giving feature saved us a lot of work.”

For years Engage by Cell has partnered with educational institutions including the Southwestern College Foundation and the National Association for College Admission Counseling to provide communication and fundraising services.
