A lot of charities for Haiti right now are asking you to text them, and when you do you will raise/donate 5 dollars for the cause. How do they get the money? Do they take it from your phone bill, or is it for every text a sponsor will donate five dollars?
The donation will be added to your phone bill. Right now, carriers are sending the money right away to the relief agencies, and will collect the money when you pay your bill.
How do Haiti relief fund text donations raise money?
Are there other stores besides goodwill & salvation army that take clothing donations?
Just wondering…
Free Stores.
Are clothing donations being accepted to Haiti?
It is breaking my heart watching the situation in Haiti, and I am desperate to help. Unfortunately, my family is going through an incredibly difficult financial time and donating any amount of money is near impossible. I do, however, have piles upon piles of clothes that we no longer wear (have outgrown, mostly) and I was wondering if there is any credible organization currently accepting donations of clothes. I know money is preferable, but this is all we can really do right now. Thanks so much and bless you all.
I would ask your church or The Salvation Army.Perhaps these two groups can tell you where to give.

How do I write a letter to local businesses for donations of baskets/goodies?
How do I write a letter to local businesses for donations of baskets/goodies for our 135th Alumni Banquet in June 2010. We are looking for baskets/goodies for "basket raffle". Our alumni association is a non profit organization, and we have tax exemption EIN # – shall we add it on the letter too? I need help writing one up.
I doubt anyone will give you stuff -you’re not a charity – doesn’t matter if you are a non-profit
Charity donations on your college application, an asset?
If yes, what specific section of the application would this be written in( volunteer,activities etc)? Please set aside rude remarks! Thank You.
I’d say volunteer but it could be activities too.

Text messaging aids Haiti donations
Governments worldwide have pledged almost $1bn in aid to earthquake-stricken Haiti, with the biggest single contribution of $130m coming from the United States.
Part of that has come from individuals giving money via text messages on their mobile phones.
Over $27m has been raised so far from people in America donating by text messages to charities – including to the Yele Haiti Foundation, headed by Wyclef Jean, the Haitian-born musician.
