Designed for non-profit organizations, corporate
foundations, technology providers, carriers and other
influencers in the mobile-giving industry, the Forum will
provide educational opportunities to attendees through the
sharing of best practices and innovative case studies,
addressing industry challenges, and exploring upcoming
trends and fund-development opportunities. Also, the Forum
will offer high-level networking opportunities for attendees
to connect with leading technology partners to help enable
donor-engagement programs.
“Mobile giving has always held the promise of delivering
greater donor engagement through the mobile channel;
however, there remains a huge opportunity to further educate
charities on how it can factor into their overall fund
development programs and help activate their donors through
information and social sharing, volunteerism and more,” said
Jim Manis, Founder and CEO of the Foundation. “The
Forum will
bring together key players in the non‑profit and mobile
industries to reflect where the industry is now and where it
is going in the future.”
According to Manis, through the generosity of the Forum
sponsors, the $195 early bird registration fee will be
waived for the first 100 non-profit professionals who
provide a verifiable 501(c)3 Federal Non-Profit Tax ID
Number when they register (limit two attendees per
organization).

About BBB Mobile Giving Foundation
The Mobile Giving Foundation was founded in 2007 to create a
“mobile-giving channel” that empowers non-profit
organizations and donors. Working with North America’s top
mobile carriers, the Foundation enables the mobile channel
for charitable giving by providing the organizational layer,
operational guidelines and technical infrastructure for
non‑profit organizations and donors to use the incredible
power and convenience of mobile technology.
The Foundation is merging with the Council of Better
Business Bureaus and adopting BBB Wise Giving Alliance
standards to grow the mobile-giving channel, strengthen
mobile-giving industry standards and accountability, assure
donor confidence, and reinforce nonprofit acceptance of the
mobile-giving medium. For more information, visit to the
