MobileCause Inks Multi-Year Agreement with United Way Worldwide to Provide Mobile First Fundraising Solutions

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MobileCause, the leading provider of cloud based fundraising solutions for nonprofit organizations, announced today that United Way Worldwide, the world's largest privately-funded nonprofit, has signed a multi-year agreement to use MobileCause to grow their mobile first fundraising and individual engagement initiatives across all of their local United Ways.

After a successful pilot program with select local chapters, where MobileCause helped one in particular raise over half a million dollars in only a few weeks, United Way has further engaged MobileCause as their primary provider for mobile first donor communication and fundraising technology and solutions.  MobileCause will work with United Way to increase and simplify employee engagement and giving, while leveraging the power of a device which 90% of Americans have with them at all times.

A mobile-first strategy means always considering the unique capabilities of mobility and using them to create differentiated features," stated MobileCause CEO Sean MacNeill. "We're excited to partner with the United Way to enhance their donor experience with our mobile first suite of products, and we look forward to working closely with them to reach their goals."
