When Twilio.org launched, we set a 10-year goal to power a billion messages for good. In 2018, in partnership with thousands of social impact organizations, we reached our goal–five years early. These billion messages educate, save lives, drive civic action, and more. And there’s more to do.
We’re now focusing our efforts directly on the people these messages reach. The teenager in crisis, the student learning a new skill, the immigrant standing up for her rights. We want to help a billion people–every year–through communications that give hope, power, and freedom. We want to help you reach the people you serve like never before.
Social impact organizations have built thousands of Twilio apps to fuel positive change. They’re at the heart nonprofit programs – mobilizing volunteers, delivering critical info, and engaging supporters.
Now we’re sharing the recipes for some of these apps in the Twilio.org Recipe for Good handbook. We hope these examples spur your team to reach your constituents in new ways.
