Aspiro and Bring Dialog launch mobile fundraising and SMS-donations
Aspiro Mobile Solutions is partnering with Bring Dialog in Norway, to offer all charity organizations the possibility to adopt the mobile phone as a fundraising channel.
Using the dialogue tool IDA, which handles SMS and e-mail, charity organizations can immediately start using the mobile phone for fundraising and communication with their donors. This provides new opportunities for individual gifts, sponsors/regular donors and memberships.
"This is a great opportunity, which makes it even easier for people to contribute to legitimate charity organizations with simple SMS Payment", comments Erik Johnsen, Director of Interactive Services of Bring Dialog Norway.
Mobile Payment for charity organizations is made possible by the new “Goods- and Services”- system in Norway, together with Aspiro’s mobile payment solutions. Bring Dialog is the point of contact for the various organizations, and one of the first to adopt the mobile channel is The Church City Mission.
"SMS and telephone are very effective and easy payment options. Use of mobile phones for payment is generally in high growth in many different areas. We are particularly happy that this will now benefit charities," says Peter Tonstad, Head of Aspiro Mobile Solutions.
