Texting for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations
Volunteers show up, donors hear thank you, supporters act. Texts reach people on the screen they check first, from a number we get approved for you. Built by a nonprofit founder.
Email gets filed and calls go to voicemail. A text lands on the lock screen, gets read, and gets a reply. Here's what that changes.
Shift reminders the day before, with a one-word reply to confirm. Fewer empty spots, less chasing.
Cleanup Saturday 8am at Crystal Cove. Reply YES to join.
A personal thank-you and receipt link moments after a gift, while the feeling is still fresh.
Thank you, Maria! Your gift to Harbor Kids is received. Receipt: harborkids.org/r
Reminders, directions and last-minute changes reach guests on the way, not in an inbox later.
Tonight’s gala starts at 6. Parking is on Via Lido. Reply HELP for directions.
Year-end, Giving Tuesday and emergency appeals, sent to supporters who asked to hear from you.
Today every gift is matched until midnight. Give here: harborkids.org/give
Program updates, schedule changes and member news, with replies coming back to one inbox.
Saturday’s youth dive class moves to 10am. Reply C to confirm.
Clinics, studios and services use the same tools: appointment reminders, openings and quick answers.
Hi Sam, your visit is Tue 10:30am. Reply C to confirm.
US carriers now block texts from numbers that aren't registered. Getting approved means a brand, a campaign, sample messages, an opt-in flow and a privacy policy that all agree with each other — and a rejection if one of them doesn't. Most nonprofits don't have those pieces yet. We write them with you. You send.
Pick the one that fits how you text. We register it, track the review and keep it compliant once it's live.
A local 10-digit number. Two-way, familiar, the default for most organizations.
An 8XX number, verified once. A clean fit for support lines and steady volume.
A 5–6 digit code built for big sends, keywords and promotions.
The same four steps for every number. You see where it stands the whole way.
Legal name, EIN, website and who you text. Ten minutes of your time — then we take it from there.
Use case, sample messages, opt-in flow, privacy and terms — written to match each other, because that's where most rejections come from.
Carriers sometimes push back. We read the note, fix what they asked for and resubmit — you just get the update.
Send one message or a whole campaign from a simple dashboard, starting from ready-made templates for receipts, volunteer reminders, events and appeals.
Every number we set up starts with consent — recorded, provable and easy to take back with one word.
The rules carriers check, handled on every send — not just on the application.
Every message goes out on an approved 10DLC campaign, verified toll-free number or leased short code.
Each contact keeps where and when they opted in, so you can show it if a carrier ever asks.
Opt-outs are honored instantly and removed from every list. HELP replies answer automatically.
Live texts stay close to the samples you registered, so traffic never drifts from what was approved.
Daily caps, send pacing and an automatic pause if delivery drops — before a problem becomes a block.
Verified 501(c)(3)s pay 20% less on every text (with a 1.55¢ minimum). Carrier fees differ by number type, so we quote yours before anything is filed. No surprises after approval.

MyCleanText is where those two lives meet.
