Import as many numbers as you want to keep all your contacts and unsubscribe data in one place.
Add or extract contact data on-demand. Import custom fields or tags to keep organized. Send us the file, and we'll even do it for you.
While most platforms limit you to 160 characters, we felt that it would make sending personal messages difficult, so we nearly doubled it. LOL
Set up menus and options to route texters to different places. For example, Text RALLY to 24-365 and then reply 1, 2, or 3 from the menu.
Customize your messages with one of our standard fields like first or last name, or create your own for a fully tailored campaign.

Craft a message today and send it later or on a recurring schedule—perfect for campaigns running every week, month, or year.
Give donors a simple way to get ahold of you by phone. If you text them, they should be able to call you. With Rally, they can.
Send a message to a person or the whole group. Chat with anyone who texts your keyword in real-time or on a schedule.
There is no charge to add/remove spaces if you are using multiple words or phrases, so if a phone autocorrects, your donors will still find your page.

If a donor sends an invalid keyword, they receive instructions to correct it. In the event they can't, the Rally team can respond and help them find you.

No, Rally does not charge transaction or processing fees on any of the donations you collect. Since we link out or integrate with every fundraising platform, we give you full control to maximize the funds you receive.
Generally, set up takes just a few days, but we can get it done in a few hours if necessary. If you have a campaign or event coming up, be sure to let us know the date, and we will coordinate with our onboarding team to make sure you are up and running in time.
Not a problem. Just let our support team know, and we will assist you by running an analysis on your first campaign. The Rally Platform validates phone numbers on import, but we can go a step further and provide a detailed report showing carrier status codes at any time.
Credits are needed to transmit messages over a third-party carrier network (e.g., AT&T, Verizon, etc.). With Rally, inbound messages are always free since we pay that fee on your behalf.
Unlike other texting services, Rally does not charge for each segment, meaning you can send up to 300 characters per credit.
Every plan includes credits, and you can add 1,000 more for just $50 (much cheaper if you buy in bulk). So, it might help to consider that it will only cost 5 cents to capture a donor's phone number and that only after you use up your free credits.
Multimedia, international numbers, and calling features may require additional credits, so let us know what kind of campaigns you want to run, and we'll help you determine what you'll need.
We love this question. One of our Core Values is "Results," so we work extremely hard to help our clients get results.
To answer this question, we need to provide a little context.
Text messaging is by far the most effective means to connect with people. You can't argue with the data. However, it does require third-party networks and infrastructure to transmit your message. Email does as well, but it is not nearly as effective, so most companies charge just a few fractions of a cent per 10,000 messages. Texts are slightly more expensive given the technology requirements, efficiency, and benefit.
We see the same cost to benefit ratio when we look at networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Google. The more effective, the more you have to "pay to play."
With this in mind, we set out to build an accessible platform on the most effective network and include world-class implementation support specifically designed for nonprofits. We wanted to help them maximize their return on this particular technology investment. Put simply, Rally helps nonprofits get the most out of text messaging.
As for the numbers, here are a few to help you determine if texting is right for you. Texts get opened and read over 90% of the time. Messages are 12x more likely to get a response than an email. Last year, the average text donation was $112, significantly higher than its counterparts.
Chances are texting will help you raise awareness, capture numbers, and convert donors. Rally is committed to helping you do just that.
