Mosio’s Text a Librarian Launches Mobile Donations Initiative for Libraries
SMS Text Messaging Donations to Help Non-Profit Libraries Raise Funds

San Francisco, CA, March 11, 2010 – Mosio’s Text a Librarian, the leader in text messaging solutions for libraries, today announced its mobile donations initiative to assist non-profit libraries and library organizations in setting up mobile fundraising campaigns via SMS text messaging.

“The success of the Text For Haiti campaign provided mainstream exposure to the collective impact of micro-donations and the effectiveness of fundraising through text messaging” said Noel Chandler, Mosio’s CEO. “Mobile donations are an excellent use of SMS technology. We're using our experience and relationships in the wireless industry to help libraries implement a new method of raising awareness and funds.”

Library budgets are being slashed while patron visits and demand for services have soared. Mobile donations offer a unique opportunity for libraries to augment existing public fundraising efforts. Individuals in the community can give to their library in manageable donations of $5-$10 through a simple mobile technology.

Text messaging is the most widely used form of mobile communication in the world. Americans are now texting twice as much as they are talking on their cell phones. Organizations interested in taking advantage of SMS technologies need to determine which mobile solutions best serve their audience, resources and budget.

“Navigating your way through mobile services can be a daunting process and mobile donations are no different,” said Jay Sachdev, Mosio’s CTO. “Our goal is to help make it as easy as possible for libraries to add text messaging to their existing fundraising campaigns.”
