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.

Text Messaging Use Cases for Youth Development Organizations

See how organizations like yours use Rally to engage supporters.

Youth Impact Stories

Share success stories of young people in your programs. MMS photos of achievements and milestones inspire ongoing support.

Example: MMS: Meet Marcus — your gift helped him earn his diploma!

Program Updates

Keep donors connected to the programs they fund. Regular updates on participant progress build lasting relationships.

Example: Update: 200 students completed leadership training this month

Event Promotion

Fill attendance at graduations, showcases, and fundraising events. Text invitations drive participation.

Example: You're invited: Watch our youth perform at Friday's showcase

Volunteer Recruitment

Recruit mentors, tutors, and program volunteers. Two-way texting enables quick screening and coordination.

Example: Text VOLUNTEER to learn about mentoring opportunities

Parent & Family Communications

Keep families informed about program activities, schedules, and opportunities. Text reaches parents where email gets ignored.

Example: Reminder: Back-to-school night tomorrow at 6pm

Alumni Engagement

Stay connected with program graduates. Alumni become donors, mentors, and advocates for current participants.

Example: Alumni update: Your story could inspire today's students

Why Rally Delivers Higher Click Rates

Branded Sending Builds Instant Trust

Supporters are far more likely to click when they immediately recognize who a message is from.

Rally enables branded sending so every message clearly represents your organization, not a generic sender.

Custom Short Link Domains Increase Confidence

Unfamiliar links reduce clicks. Rally allows you to use your own branded short domains, which:

  • Feel safer
  • Improve deliverability
  • Increase click-through rates
  • Protect your brand reputation

Messages Designed for Action

Rally goes beyond plain text:

  • Video and image messages (MMS)
  • Branded, trackable links
  • Tap-to-donate and 1-click actions
  • Personalization and segmentation

Higher relevance leads to higher clicks.

Our 15% Engagement Guarantee

Opens don't change futures. Engagement does.

For qualifying campaigns:

  • We guarantee a minimum 15% click rate
  • If performance falls short, we credit your Rally account
  • Clear terms, transparent reporting, no fine-print games

Engagement means action — RSVPs, replies, sign-ups, donations.
Rally is built to drive the clicks that matter.
