AI texting for Political & Fundraising

Engage New Donors and Supporters Instantly

Supporter interest spikes around moments and fades fast. Conversta texts every new sign-up within seconds, has a real two-way conversation, and routes each person to the right next step: donate, volunteer, or talk to staff.

Example SMS Conversation

Conversta: Hi Dana, this is Luis with the Rivera for Council campaign. Thanks for signing up! What issue matters most to you this year? Reply STOP to opt out.
Lead: Housing costs
Conversta: That is our top priority too. Would you like to help by volunteering, chipping in, or both?
Lead: I can chip in
Conversta: Thank you! Here is the secure link: [link]. Every contribution counts.

Why leads slip away today

Interest fades in hours

A sign-up from last night's debate cools by morning.

Small teams, big lists

Staff cannot answer every new supporter.

Blasts feel impersonal

One-way texts get ignored.

How Conversta handles it

  1. Supporter signs up: Petition, RSVP, or list sign-up.
  2. Instant thank-you: A personal text and one question.
  3. Route by interest: Donate, volunteer, or ask a question.
  4. Make the ask: A specific, timely giving link or shift option.
  5. Stay in touch: Thank-yous, updates, and opted-in follow-up.

The results teams see

  • Instant response captures interest at its peak.
  • 60% prefer SMS to calls.
  • Every supporter gets a personal next step, not a generic blast.
Compliance built in: Texts go only to supporters who opted in. Campaigns should complete political 10DLC registration and include any required disclaimers.

"Multiplied our fundraising conversations in weeks… instant response means we don't lose donors."

David L. — Campaign Director
