Movement Text Training

Our Movement Text Training program aims to help expand the capacity of grassroots movement groups through hands-on training and coaching on texting best practices and strategy.

It is our goal that participants leave our spaces with tangible peer-to-peer knowledge and texting skills and an up to date understanding of how to use SMS. In our additional 1-to-1 coaching and feedback loop process, we work with organizations to have SMS conversations with tens or hundreds of thousands of people to register voters, recruit donors, or achieve other positive, measurable outcomes.

Pricing

We offer pricing on a sliding scale based on an organization’s income level and number of staff. We typically recommend smaller organizations share the costs of the training between several organizations or have a national affiliate, network, or funder cover the costs to offer the training more broadly.

For organizations:

  • Organizations with Staff <5 or Budget less than $500,000 – $300 per hour of training (or we may be able to get funding, talk to us!)
  • Organizations with Staff Size 5-15 or Budget less than $1 Million – $400 per hour of training
  • Organizations with Staff Size >15 or Budget greater than $1 Million – $500 per hour of training
