Telefund Inc

Telefund Inc is a Boston based call center USA that has done one thing since 1988: raise money and build support for progressive causes, public interest organizations and candidates by phone. Buyers get a telephone fundraising partner that has chosen to serve only mission driven clients from day one, led by people with decades of nonprofit and electoral campaign experience. The firm's stated goal is to maximize net income and impact for the organizations it calls on behalf of, not just to run dials. The services break into three lines. Fundraising is the core, covering renewal and special appeal calls to existing donor files, acquisition campaigns that build membership from new lists, and reinstatement programs that bring lapsed supporters back. During an election cycle the same callers run persuasion calls to members when a campaign needs voters moved quickly. Information Services and Fulfillment Services round out the offer, so a client can hand off the follow up work that comes after a successful call rather than absorbing it in house. For a nonprofit or campaign looking at outsourcing its phone program, that is a complete back office for donor contact rather than a single outbound function. Telefund describes having worked with hundreds of organizations and campaigns over three decades, on issues ranging from protecting old growth forests to equal rights to electing candidates who hold firm on the issues that matter to their members. Its client base is nonprofits, advocacy groups, political action committees and candidate campaigns. The company points to two industry awards as proof of results: a 2018 DMAW Silver Maxi Award for a political renewal and special appeal telemarketing campaign for Giffords PAC, and a 2019 DMAW Silver Maxi Award for a nonprofit reinstatement campaign for Surfrider Foundation. What sets the operation apart is its approach to people. Calling staff are trained to present an issue compellingly and ask for money in a way that meets client expectations for professionalism and accuracy. Account staff are trained to manage campaign details with a responsive attitude, which matters when a special appeal has to launch in days rather than weeks. Telefund's view is that technology changes fast, but person to person contact remains the most effective way to grow resources and deepen supporter relationships, and that belief shapes how it runs every campaign. If your organization needs a US based BPO company with a long record in donor and member outreach, Telefund is worth a conversation.
