There is no need for a credit card!
Not only do 87% of Americans use cell phones, but up to 1/4 of consumers in the U.S. live without credit cards. After a donor completes the 3 text2give steps, a $5 or $10 charge will appear on the donors monthly mobile phone bill. |
Distribution of Proceeds
| After a donor has made a donation via text message, a nontaxable charge is added to his/her mobile phone bill. The funds are collected from each carrier by Mobile Cause (MC) and Mobile Cause will then write your nonprofit a check. |
