This document discusses how nonprofits can use text messaging to engage supporters and drive actions. It provides the example of Define American, who used text messaging to acquire hundreds of SMS subscribers, mobilize people to host watch parties for a film premiere, and increase donations and advocacy. The presentation outlines best practices for nonprofits including designing clear calls to action, promoting the mobile list on other channels, and using stories and varied conversations to move supporters up a "ladder of engagement".
