Give all year round with the Mobile Giving Foundation
Posted on December 12, 2010
Modern smartphones have wireless internet service that makes it easy to get online anywhere. That can help save a lot of money when it comes to integrating your devices. If you’d like to donate some of those savings to the less fortunate, all it takes is a text message, thanks to the Mobile Giving Foundation. The non-profit MGF uses a small percentage of the donations to cover messaging costs and passes on the rest to the charity of your choice. Considering all the new features that mobile devices include, the option to donate to those less fortunate is one of the best.MGF supports a variety of charities, including the United Way, PBS, Keep a Child Alive, Amnesty International, and IFAW. You can find the keywords for all the charities the organization supports at its website. MGF was founded in 2007 by wireless industry veterans seeking to give Americans an easy channel to donate through. The Board of Directors includes Jim Manis (1024 Wireless Services), Louis Gump (CNN/Turner Broadcasting), Jeffrey Glass (Bain Capital Ventures), Mark McDowell (Acta Wireless), and Fabrice Sargent (Cellfish Media).For more information on the Foundation itself, or on how to donate, visit mobilegiving.org.
