Test Your Texting Knowledge… and Prevent a $1,000,000 Mistake

📱 Calling all nonprofit texters! Think you know the ins and outs of texting in a way that won’t land you in the “SPAM” folder or in legal hot water?

Whether you're a seasoned development director or a new communications coordinator who just got handed the "SMS outreach" hat, this quiz will put your compliance knowledge to the test.

Why Should You Care About SMS Compliance?

• The stakes are real: Legal violations can cost $500 to $1,500 per message (yes, per message!).

• Your mission matters: Don't let compliance mistakes derail your important work!

• Your supporters are counting on you: When texting is done wrong, it can feel annoying or invasive. Show donors and volunteers you respect their time, privacy, and attention.

• Technology continues to evolve: Apple’s new iOS 26 operating system will filter more text messages. Staying compliant and adhering to best practices will ensure your supporters continue to receive your messages.

This quiz covers everything from basic consent requirements to the latest iOS 26 updates that could send your messages straight to a digital black hole. We'll explore real-world scenarios (including a certain presidential campaign's very expensive texting violation) and give you practical tips you can actually use.
