Raise Money through Mobile Giving with mGive

January 23rd, 2009 MobileFreak

If you have not yet discovered the mobile donation service that’s taking the socially conscious world of non-profits by storm, keep reading.

mGive provides a simple service that allows organizations to accept mobile donations via text message. Simply put, users text the organization’s keyword to a shortcode, and just like that, the donation (typically of $5) is made.

Benefits of mGive Service:

• Users donate within 10 seconds
• Organizations collect donations without credit cards or cash
• Donations are charged to users cell phone bill
• Opportunity to raise money from over 250m cell phone users

The one charity that I will always contribute to whenever I can is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Simply put, they do amazing things for kids that really need it. St. Jude has an mGive campaign going — test it out:

Text “STJUDE” to “90999″ to give $5

I love finding creative mobile services that are on their way to making a huge difference, and mGive is clearly one of them.
