Top tips for sharing your Text-to-Donate keywords with supporters

• Make your keyword visible. At in-person events, put signage on the walls, televisions, or business cards on tables that include your keyword and the phone number for donors to text: 53555. Volunteer sites and anywhere else your supporters will be are good places to make your keyword visible.
• Include your keyword across different channels. Newsletters, annual reports, business cards, social media, videos, and direct mail pieces are all good places to share your keyword.
• Have a dedicated call to action at your in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Dedicate a chunk of time to verbally captivating your audience’s attention and encourage them to take out their phones and donate.
• Make sure your keyword is easy to say. If you announce it to a group, it needs to be clear and simple enough for everyone to understand.
