How do animal welfare organizations use text messaging?

Animal welfare organizations use Rally for adoption promotion, foster network coordination, donor engagement, and emergency communications. MMS capabilities let you share photos and videos of animals, creating emotional connections that drive action.

Can we send photos of adoptable animals via text?

Yes! Rally supports MMS messaging, so you can send photos of adoptable animals, rescue stories, and recovery updates. Visual content significantly increases engagement compared to text-only messages.

How does Rally help with foster family coordination?

Rally's two-way texting enables rapid foster mobilization. Send urgent placement alerts and get instant replies. Organizations fill emergency foster needs within hours instead of days of email back-and-forth.

What makes Rally different from other SMS platforms?

Rally guarantees 15%+ click rates on qualifying campaigns — if we miss, we credit your account. Branded sending ensures supporters recognize your organization, and custom short link domains increase trust and clicks.

Is Rally compliant with SMS regulations?

Yes. Rally is built for permission-based messaging with carrier-compliant practices. We guide you through A2P/10DLC approval and ensure your program follows best practices.

How quickly can we start sending?

Account setup is same-day. You can begin sending while full approval (typically 1-2 weeks) is in progress. Our team guides you through branding setup.

Trusted Text Messaging Platform for Nonprofits

Rally Corp powers engagement and supporter mobilization for mission-driven organizations.

Open Rates Don't Fund Your Mission. Clicks Do.

Most SMS platforms still focus on:

Message delivery
Open rates
Volume sent

But opens don't drive donations.

Clicks are the moment a supporter takes action.

That's why Rally optimizes every campaign—and backs it with a guarantee.

When your text messages are trusted, branded, and action-oriented, supporters click.
