ZipGive's Text to Donate program is helping the Humanitarian Coalition in their mobile fundraising efforts through Text to Give fundraising!
The Humanitarian Coalition is a network of Canadian NGOs determined to unite in cases of humanitarian crises. The Humanitarian Coalition was formed by five of Canada's leading aid organizations: CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam-Québec, Plan Canada and Save the Children Canada. As a joint Canadian approach to humanitarian response, the Humanitarian Coalition is a "one-stop-shop" for all Canadians during times of international humanitarian disasters. The members of the Humanitarian Coalition work together to reduce unnecessary competition, better educate the public on humanitarian needs, increase the impact of Canadian humanitarian responses and reduce administrative costs. During humanitarian emergencies, member agencies speak to Canadians with one voice, provide direct access to disaster and response information, coordinate spokespersons and share resources, including a single phone centre, website and communications team. When disaster strikes, and each member agency brings their specific expertise to implementing humanitarian programs.
ZipGive is pleased that the Humanitarian Coalition chose ZipGive's Text to Give platform to support the foundation's mobile fundraising and donor outreach programs.
