Mobile phones have become a powerful emerging tool for participation in civil society. This five part series looks ways nonprofits have used mobile phones in their campaigns and the effective strategies deployed, and shares lessons learned.

NTEN and MobileActive.org are announcing the third MobileActive Guide, profiling strategies and civil society organizations using mobile phones in their work to make the world a better place. The third MobileActive Guide focuses on using mobile phones in fundraising campaigns. The guide features case studies from around the world, strategies for using mobile phones in fundraising, and a how-to section for organizations considering using mobile phones to generate support for their work.

Look for other guides in the Mobile Active Strategy Guide series that will focus using mobile phones in the Global South, and a step-by-step how-to guide for setting up a campaign in the United States.
