Why do some texts get replies—and others get ignored?


If you've ever sent a fundraising text and heard nothing but silence, you're not alone. Most nonprofit SMS messages fall flat not because your mission isn’t powerful, but because the message lacks structure. In this episode of The Million Dollar Nonprofit, Tom Kelly reveals the simple 3-part script that boosted replies by over 400%—and how you can use AI to write it for you in minutes.


You’ll learn:


  • How to open your message with familiarity and warmth
  • How to deliver a one-line impact story that hits
  • How to write a soft call to action that feels human, not pushy


Plus, you'll see real-world examples, get plug-and-play ChatGPT prompts, and walk away with a full texting strategy that feels personal, drives engagement, and converts replies into donations. Whether you're using Twilio, SimpleTexting, or DIY tools, this episode will give you a text campaign that actually works.


Ready to turn crickets into conversions? Let’s go.
