Mobile Monday
Since we live in an increasingly mobile world, the Nature Conservancy wants to make charity as mobile as we are in our day-to-day lives. So we’re joining the movement started by MobileMonday Silicon Valley and launching a new holiday on Monday, December 15th, called #MobileMonday. We’re working together to spread the message about the many ways people can get involved with non-profits via mobile technology. Whether it’s making a donation from your phone, downloading an app that helps connect you to nature through trail maps, or simply signing up to receive text alerts from your favorite organization, there are many ways to get connected to charities on mobile. To kick off the campaign, mGive, a mobile engagement and fundraising platform, is hosting a live Twitter chat at 1pm ET on Monday, December 15th, addressing how technology can power social good. The Nature Conservancy is partnering with mGive to bring together the mobile, technology, and non-profit communities to raise awareness and address some of the most pressing challenges in today’s world. Don’t forget to save the date and use the hashtag: December 15th is #MobileMonday – a day when we can all use technology to help make a difference. And to get you started, here are some ways environmental organizations are already using mobile for good:
