Mobile Accord, founded in 2005, is the leading enterprise mobile platform provider dedicated to driving social change through the mobile phone. Mobile Accord works in places such as Pakistan, Haiti, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and other countries across the globe on mobile-social initiatives to change the world for the better.
We became a B Corp because we feel that commercial entities such as ourselves, who aspire to change the world through social impact, should be recognized for their efforts and have a platform that provides the means for engaging and networking with similar organizations.
In 2006, the Mobile Accord team founded the mobile giving channel and launched mGive, the leading mobile donation platform in the Unites States. The mGive program remains the foremost source of domestic mobile donations for leading nonprofit organizations. More than $44M was raised in 2010 via the mGive channel on behalf of more than 500 nonprofit clients. mGive is changing the way people give.
The Change We Seek®
Their mission is to drive social change both domestically and internationally through the use of the mobile phone. Abroad, Mobile Accord seeks to facilitate open communications in conflict areas of the world by building and implementing innovative mobile solutions.
Domestically, mGive, a subsidiary of Mobile Accord, provides nonprofit mobile solutions designed to facilitate donor engagement and fundraising through text messages. mGive is the leading services provider for mobile donations in the United States and seeks to change the way people give.
