What Our Customers & Partners Say:

"Mobile Commons has been a great partner in NARAL's efforts to reach new activists using text messaging, providing reliable service and support not just on the technology side, but also being alongside us every step of the way when corporate censorship threatened our program."
  Kristin Koch
  NARAL Pro-Choice America

"Love the Mobile Commons platform—it made it easy for us to execute a campaign that tied together the real world and the online world to powerful effect. It seems that participants in the It's Our Healthcare campaign loved it too—we were happily surprised to see response rates in excess of 45%."
  Brent Blackaby
  Founder, Blackrock Associates

"Mobile Commons is the hands-down leader in helping organizations use mobile technology to reach supporters. Their software is simple to use and their staff is incredibly helpful and responsive."
  Michael Bassik

"Mobile is a growing part of our outreach and engagement strategy. Integrating mobile interactions into our campaign strategy has helped us reach out on breaking news and share information with our advocates when and where they want it, since people keep their mobile phones within arms reach virtually around the clock."
  Geoff Handy
  VP Media Communications, HSUS

"Convio is very pleased with Mobile Commons as a technology partner. I've been consistently impressed with the product and technology execution from Mobile Commons and look forward to seeing them add some new energy to non-profit technology."
