Why nonprofits switch from SimpleTexting
SimpleTexting is a solid texting tool, but it only does texting. Nonprofits still need a donation platform and an email tool, and none of the three know what the others are doing.
OpenFundraise runs texting next to free donation forms, free email, and free donor records. When a supporter replies or gives after a text, it shows up on the same profile.
- Donation formsHosted pages, embedded forms, and recurring giving.
- Email campaignsScheduled sends with click tracking, tied to gifts.
- Donor recordsEvery gift, email, and text on one supporter profile.
