With mobile becoming increasingly dominant, nonprofits must have a mobile strategy. Most are redesigning their sites to be responsive (or have separate mobile sites), and many use SMS (texting) as a way to communicate or accept donations.

But what about apps? They are expensive to build and promote. While apps are incredibly popular, there are only a handful of incredibly popular apps.

Examples will include the Ad Council’s Toothsavers App (over 100K downloads) and UNICEF’s Tap Project App.
