WhatsApp integration

Engaging donors is about meeting people where they are, and for a sizable chunk of the world’s population, that place is WhatsApp. With 2.7 billion monthly active users in more than 92% of countries, WhatsApp’s free instant messaging app saves users from paying for costly data plans. 

Like other social media for nonprofits, WhatsApp is a promising platform for fundraising and community engagement. And now, nonprofit organizations can use Givebutter’s integration with WhatsApp to bring in donations through mobile-optimized social campaign pages, easy social sharing, and so much more.
