Chirpify Twitter Fundraising Tool

Chirpify is a recent Portland, OR start up that has developed a Twitter Fundraising tool.  They did not respond to a request for additaionl information about their offering, so we tracked down the information below on their website.

 

The information below is from the Chirpify FAQ (frequently asked questions) for Fundraisers page.  We have not been able to verify this information, so proceed at your own risk.

Why should I fundraise on Twitter?
Fundraising on Twitter has many advantages. Twitter users can donate to your organization, cause or campaign with one simple "@" reply. Compared with sites that require a 5-step checkout process which one do you think has the best follow-through? Twitter Donations eliminates all friction points in the donation process, so donors don't lose interest midway through the process.

Twitter users are often on-the-go, accessing the social media channel from their mobile devices. With one click, they can act on your request without needing to leave the app, pull out their wallets or remember passwords.

Plus, the social aspect of Twitter means that you are more likely to see higher return on your efforts. Because your followers are already personally invested in you by following you in the first place, you are preaching to the choir, so to speak. Also, with Twitter as your audience, and the network effect of the Retweet (RT), your reach is unlimited.

How will people donate to us?
Your followers can donate by replying "donate" to any of your fundraising Tweets. People can even donate to Retweets.

What if someone replies "donate" to my request but isn't a member?
When someone replies with the word "donate" to give to your Twitter listing and they aren't signed up for Chirpify we will automatically reply to them and ask them to sign up. When they do, your transaction will complete.

Can people donate from a Retweet?
Yes. When someone Retweets your listing others can donate from that RT.

How do we get paid?
