Myth: Getting a text list is overwhelming
Fact:
You’re more ready than you think!
You may already have a list based on what you’ve
collected from existing supporters.
Do you have a List?
Probably.
- Nonprofits need “express consent” which happens when someone gives your nonprofit their phone number – this differs from for profit businesses who need “express written consent”.
- Most nonprofits have been collecting phone numbers for years during their ongoing fundraising efforts.
- We find approximately 60-80% of the initial list could be valid but varies by initial size.
- Rest assured, with Tatango, you won’t be texting non-mobile phone (e.g. landline) numbers, our technology prevents it.
- Moving forward, you must have specific opt-in language on donation forms.

- Remember to always preserve trust and honor the opt-out.
