SEATTLE, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ --
What: Donations made via mobile phones for Haiti Earthquake Relief
have surpassed $27 million across all the short codes
managed by the Mobile Giving Foundation, a non-profit
organization dedicated to helping other non-profits raise
funds through mobile.
Thanks largely to national television appeals and more non-
profit organizations joining relief efforts, mobile
donations increased by $7 million, raising the total amount
from $20 million reported by MGF yesterday to more than $27
million as of 8:00pm Eastern on Monday. The Foundation
continues to see donations come in at an increasing pace.
MGF will report updated numbers throughout the week.
How: By texting a keyword to a designated short code via a mobile
phone, a micro-donation of $5 or $10 can be made to aid
the millions of people affected by this tragedy. 100% of
your donation goes to the recipient charity, and the
donation appears as a charge on your carrier bill, standard
rates may apply.
Who: As more organizations join the relief efforts in Haiti,
additional short codes are available for making monetary
donations to aid those affected by the recent earthquake:
