BBB MGF Urges Support For Hurricane Sandy Relief Through Mobile Giving

What:

The quickest way to provide monetary relief to those affected by Hurricane Sandy is mobile giving.  By texting a keyword to a designated short code via a mobile phone, you can make a donation of $10 to aid the millions of people affected by this disaster.  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 following national charities that meet BBB Wise Giving Alliance standards:

Text : "STORM" to 80888 to donate $10

On behalf of the Salvation Army

Text "REDCROSS" to 90999 to donate $10

On behalf of the American Red Cross

Text "HUMANE" to 80888 to donate $10

On behalf of  American Humane Association

Text "GIVEUSA" to 777444 to donate $10

On behalf of World Vision

BBB MGF works with North American cellular phone operators to enable a 100-percent pass through of funds raised by all the mobile campaigns listed in this alert, so that your entire donation goes to a recipient charity.  For more information on these various campaigns and how mobile giving works, visit BBB Mobile Giving Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping other non-profits raise funds through mobile. Jim Manis, founder and president of BBB MGF, is available for media interviews and to provide an overview of the mobile giving process
