Texting, phone, and email programs for nonprofits

Your supporters don't need another email.They need a conversation.

Dial for Causes runs peer to peer texting, phone, and email programs for nonprofits. Our trained team reaches your supporters, answers every reply, and hands the results back to your team. Built for year end appeals, member drives, and every ask in between.

You own your list, your platform account, and your data.

Why now

Giving is growing, and mobile is growing fastest.

Most nonprofits still treat text as an afterthought. That leaves real room for the organizations that show up personally on the phone.

FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

Is this legal and compliant?

Yes, when it's done right, and compliance is built into every program. Nonprofits can generally text supporters who gave their number, for example on a donation form or event signup, with messages tied to their mission. We handle carrier registration for your texting number, include a clear opt out in every program and honor it promptly, review consent with you before launch, and keep sending to reasonable hours. This is practical guidance, not legal advice, and we're glad to work alongside your counsel.

Can you help us find new donors?

Often, yes. Beyond your current supporters, we can help research likely donors in your community and prepare call sheets for personal outreach by your staff and board. We'll talk through what's realistic for your goals during the consultation.

How quickly can we launch?

Timing depends mostly on registering your texting number, which we help with. Starting the conversation a few weeks ahead of your big day leaves comfortable room to register, write, and test.

Who does the texting and calling?

Our trained team sends every message, makes every call, and answers every reply. Our systems are built for that scale: registered numbers, managed sending, and reporting that ties every conversation back to your list, so a team of real people can reach thousands of supporters in a day. If you'd like your own volunteers involved, we can train and support them too.

What does it cost?

We price each program around your list size and goals, with no long term contract. Texting platform costs are billed directly to your own account, so you always see exactly what you pay for. A free consultation gets you a clear quote.

Do you work with small organizations?

Yes. Small and midsize teams are who this is built for. If you have a supporter list and a moment that matters, we can help you make the most of it.

Is Dial for Causes partisan?

No. Dial for Causes is nonpartisan and works with nonprofits across every cause area. Our sister line, Dial for Campaigns, serves political campaigns. The two run separately, and your supporter data is never shared with or used for anything else.
