Gaining Donors With TNT (Text N Twitter)
Wyclef Jean Twitter Channel"Please text 'Yéle' to 501501 to donate $5 to Yéle Haiti. Your money will help with relief efforts. They need our help."
Check This Out.... The Red Cross raised $400,00 in Text Donations after Hurricane Katrina. They raised $200,000 after the Asian Tsuanami.
Why Text Donations Are Successful• No credit card or a computer• The process of entering a 4-5 digit code with a
single text word is very simple and fast• Much like a download the charge shows up on
your bill• Brings in new demographic of donors who usually
are not contacted (i.e., Gen Y, Gen X, Minorities)
Downside Of Text Donations
1.) Scams2.) People can give more 3.) Donations restricted to $5 or $10 donations Solution: Give mobile users ability to text their own amount.

Final Thought"Thanks to the internet, there are now new global networks that are multi-stakeholder and that are beginning to address global problems in new ways," ....These individuals now, at their fingertips, have a powerful tool for finding out what's going on, for organizing a collective response to something and for participating in solving problems." --David Tapscott
