We are currently using Guided Fundraising for our call and text campaigns and just received notice that we will need to show proof of a text opt-in when receiving a cell phone number of our potential prospects. We have nothing in place at this time to do so, but we would like to maintain the ability to mass text. We are looking for some best practices and effective procedures for obtaining cell phone numbers with the opt-in. Has anyone already started this process? I think right now we will need to focus on our alumni and donors only, but eventually figure out how to handle this when cell phones are provided by students (we would not solicit them as students, though!).
Thank you for any guidance!
