Donations via Text Message? Good or Bad?

This blog is focused on a article that I read titled "Two Charities Test $25 Text Gifts", written by Nicole Wallce, a writer for "The Chronicles of Philanthropy". The article talks about a new test campaign to donate to a charity via text message. This holiday season the American Red Cross and the American Center for Law and Justice are coming together to start a campaign to see if donors would be willing to donate $25 via text message. After texting $25 to the American Red cross the donor will receive a link which will let them download a American Red Cross badge to their social network profile page to spread the news about the campaign. This will be a test campaign to see if the large donation of $25 will affect the cellphone carriers operations. The campaign will run through December 31.

I chose too blog about this particular article because The American Red Cross is one of my favorite non-profit organizations. In my opinion I believe that this will be a great way to give a donations. By reading this article I learned how donating via text message works and how the donations actually gets to the charity. Also I learned that donating via text message is very effective and is becoming more common. It is very important that my blog followers take this information and share with others.
