97% Open Rate: How Gold Athletics’ Texting Strategy is Changing How Students Raise Money

When it comes to fundraising, communication is everything. And in today’s digital world, that means reaching people where they’re most active—on their phones. Gold Athletics has revolutionized fundraising communication with its highly effective text messaging system, achieving a record-breaking 97% open rate for team fundraisers. This game-changing approach ensures that supporters see, engage with, and act on their fundraising opportunities faster than ever before.

Texting: The MVP of Fundraising Communication

Traditional fundraising methods rely heavily on in-person pitches, phone calls, and social media posts. But let’s be real—emails or knocks on the door often get ignored or lost in the shuffle. That’s where Gold Athletics’ powerful texting system comes in. By delivering personalized, direct messages straight to participants and supporters, this strategy eliminates the guesswork, making fundraising efforts more efficient and effective.

Why Does It Work?

1. People check their texts – Unlike emails, which often sit unread, texts are seen almost instantly.

2. Simple & direct – A well-crafted message gets straight to the point, making it easy for supporters to take action.

3. No extra steps – With embedded donation links, supporters can contribute with just one tap.
