Register for Text Donations
When earthquakes, floods, or other natural disasters occur, you may see information about being able to donate by cell phone text to organizations that offer relief. Other charity organizations accept text donations throughout the year. Why not your group? If your cause qualifies, you can register to receive text donations. Then those who want to give to your cause can simply enter a short code number, a predetermined keyword that symbolizes your group, and whatever amount has been chosen will be donated to your organization every time someone sends a text to your number. It's convenient for donors, as the amounts of the donations are added to their cell phone bills, and it's easier on your organization than going door to door asking for support. Once your charity is approved to receive text donations, you can publicize your assigned number and keyword in print, on the radio, and via television. It's two short bits of information that can be shared on your group's Web site, printed on business cards, or even on every flyer you print for events your organization hosts. The easier you make it for people to donate, the more donations you will receive.
