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
following:
