While we are certainly proud of the work we do, we like to stay behind the scenes and let our work help our clients do theirs better.  We are really excited that one of our clients, Giiv, is on the cutting edge of mobile technology.

The giving of money via text message has hit the mainstream in part because of the earthquake that devastated Haiti.  According to this article from CNBC the American Red Cross has received $26 million in donations via text message.  That is astounding.

While still a relatively new concept in the not-for-profit arena, Giiv has pioneered the ability to give tangible gifts to friends and family via text message.  You simply go to their site and enter your friend’s phone number and you can send them a movie ticket, a gift certificate for TOMS shoes, or donate to a charity.  While still in its infancy, this will revolutionize the way gifts are exchanged.

We are proud to be associated with forward thinking clients such as Giiv and we can’t wait to see how their business model is used to further both commerce and charity.
