Text or email your volunteers, board and supporters from one list. Fill shifts with a live count, hear back privately, and run it all from your phone. Nobody has to download an app.
Food pantries · Volunteer programs · Boards · Clubs and associations · Mutual aid · Community projects
Volunteers need shift details. The board needs the meeting notice. Supporters want the good news. Put people into groups once, then reach everyone, one group or one person, and every reply comes back to you.
#allWe’re closed Monday for the holiday.
#VolunteersDrop-off moved to the back lot today.
#BoardMeeting Thursday at 7. Agenda in your email.
@MariaCan you open the building at 8:30?
Your volunteers may live on their phones while a longtime supporter reads everything by email. With SMSGO you write once, and each person gets it the way they chose.
Create an event for the shift, choose how many volunteers you need, and send the invitation. SMSGO keeps the live count as people reply. When the shift is full, it sends the message you wrote, automatically.
Saturday food drive, 9 AM to noon. We need 6 volunteers.
Thank you! You’re in. That makes 5 of 6.
5 of 6 signed up so far. One more and Saturday is covered.
Saturday is fully staffed! See you at the side door at 8:45.
You decide what SMSGO says. The reminder text is yours too.
SMSGO shows who signed up, who can’t, who’s curious and who hasn’t answered. Here’s how coordinators use that picture.
Set a cap. Extra YESes join the waitlist in order. When a volunteer texts NO, the next person moves in automatically and gets a text.
One tap reminds the quiet ones, and the volunteers who already replied aren’t bothered. Or set an automatic nudge that only goes out if you’re still short.
Message only the volunteers who signed up. Anyone bringing someone replies YES +1, and the friend counts toward the shift.
Invite your regulars first. The wider list hears from you only if spots are still open, so your occasional helpers aren’t asked for every shift.
You’re at the event. The truck is late. The entrance changes. Just text SMSGO.
#all Doors open at 10 instead of 9:30.#Volunteers The truck is here. Unloading at the side door.#Board Quick vote by Friday. Details in your email.#Drivers Pickup list is ready at the front desk.@Maria Can you bring the extra tables?SMSGO shows you who will get it and the estimated cost, then sends when you reply YES. The same commands work from your email.
Send a quick text to the people who want short updates, and a formatted email to the ones who like the full story. Your headline, a photo from the day, a few bullets and a button, under your organization’s name and logo.
People meet you at a table, a service day, a flyer on a bulletin board. Every path ends on your list, with their permission built in.
Your Join page and QR code carry your logo, banner and description. People scan, enter their name, choose text or email, and confirm. Or they text JOIN and your group code.
Met a new volunteer? Text #ADD 2405551212 Sam Lee and SMSGO texts them an invite to confirm. Add an email address the same way.
Make team leads Recruiters so they can #ADD people from their own phone. They can add people, and that’s all: they can’t send messages or see your list.
Send us your volunteer or supporter list in any format and we import it for free.
Busy season costs a little more, and a quiet month costs nothing. Before every group send you see the count and the cost, and every message is itemized after.
No per-contact fees. Replies by text are billed like texts, and you see each one.
Board members, regulars and friends can chip in toward your group’s messaging. They text PAY, CONTRIBUTE or DONATE and get their own link to your branded Contribute page.
Contributions fund your group’s SMSGO messaging. For fundraising, text supporters a link to your own donation page and see how many people tapped it.
SMSGO keeps that trust intact.
Members never see each other’s numbers or emails, and replies come only to you. Your list is never sold, rented or shared.
People join themselves or confirm with a quick YES. STOP ends all messages, and LEAVE removes someone from just one group.
Texts go out on registered numbers. On many AT&T and Verizon phones, members see the verified SMSGO.org name and logo.
Send a question with 2 to 6 options. People reply with a letter, by text or email, and the tally fills in live.
Offer a few days and time blocks, and SMSGO asks everyone by text and email. They pick what works and rank their favorites, and the best times rise to the top. Add places too, and see who can reach each one.
Text support from your account and you reach a real person, usually Jonathon, the founder. Send us your volunteer list and we’ll import it for free, so you can send your first message the same day.
Yes. Create an event for the shift and set how many volunteers you need. People reply YES, YES +1 or NO by text, or tap a button in the email version. SMSGO keeps the live count and sends your “we’re full” message when the shift is covered. Set a cap and the waitlist fills open spots automatically.
Yes. People choose text or email on your Join page, you can add people by email, and anyone can switch by texting EMAIL. Email members get a formatted email with your group’s name, logo and color, and photos come through. You write the message once.
Yes. Put people into groups like Volunteers, Board, Drivers or Supporters. One person can be in several groups. Send to everyone, one group or one person, from the web or by texting #Board, #all or @Name from your phone.
SMSGO has one simple price for every group, with no subscription: $0.03 per text segment, $0.003 per email and $0.04 per photo text. You start with $5, add funds when you need them, and a quiet month costs $0.
The PAY, CONTRIBUTE and DONATE keywords let members chip in toward your group’s SMSGO messaging, from $3 to $1,000, and the full amount goes into your SMSGO wallet. For fundraising, text your supporters a short link to your own donation page and see how many people tapped it on your Links page.
Yes. Make them Recruiters and they can #ADD people from their own phone or email. Phone numbers get a free text to confirm with YES. Recruiters can only add people: they can’t send messages, see your list or change settings.
Send us your spreadsheet or list in any format and we import it for free. You can also upload a CSV yourself, up to 5,000 rows with names and phone numbers, plus optional emails and groups.
Member phone numbers and emails are used only to deliver your group’s messages. They’re never sold, rented or shared, and members never see each other’s contact details. Replies come only to you, and anyone can text STOP to end messages.
Yes. Send now, pick a later date and time, or set a message to repeat daily, weekly or on chosen days each month, like a monthly volunteer orientation reminder.
Send us your list and we’ll import it free. Then fill your next shift from your phone.
