Reach your community in Kern County by text
From the oilfields and farms of the San Joaquin Valley floor to the high desert around Tehachapi and Ridgecrest, Kern County covers a lot of ground. The people you serve are spread across Bakersfield neighborhoods, small ag towns, and mountain communities — and almost all of them keep their phone within arm's reach.
Causly gives schools, nonprofits, youth sports leagues, and faith groups free volunteer sign-up sheets — a public page, a coordinator roster, and an email confirmation with a cancel link up to a daily limit. On the paid plan it also sends text alerts and reminders, and collects donations straight from a text.
What Kern County organizations use Causly for
A sheet is free to publish and share. On the paid plan, people join a text list by texting a keyword to the Causly number and replying YES to confirm. From there you can:
- Build opt-in lists for parents, donors, volunteers, players' families, and members.
- Segment into multiple lists so a Bakersfield campus and a Delano campus, or a 10U team and a 14U team, each get only what's relevant.
- Schedule sends in your organization's own timezone — write the reminder now, let it go out at 7am before the game or the service.
- Raise money from a text. Run a fundraiser or collect a payment, and funds land in your own Stripe account. Causly adds no extra platform fee on top.
- Track every link. Each link is shortened and click-tracked, so you can see how many taps each link got, and the payment ledger shows what you raised.
- Invite your team by email. Coaches, room parents, and staff can send under the organization owner's plan.
