What: In 36 hours, donations made via mobile phones for Haiti

Earthquake Relief have surpassed $7 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.

This amount represents a mobile-giving record for funds raised

for a single cause. But there is a long way to go.

As more organizations support relief efforts in Haiti, additional

short codes are available for making monetary donations to help

those affected by the recent earthquake.

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: There are several organizations that are responding to this

urgent need with mobile-giving efforts, including the
