Fundraising Donations Via Text Messages Could Be Delayed Up To 30 Days
It's pretty amazing how much money has been raised for Haiti via Text Messages. It's turned out to be a double edged sword. Apparently some people are forgetting to "confirm" their donation and close their cell phones - the problem is exacerbated by the system being a bit slow.
Remember, donations may be delayed up to 30 days. Makes sense. The phone companies aren't going to front the donations and then hope to collect them later from their customers - especially since it can be $100,000+ and in the case of Red Cross millions of dollars.
Please remember to "confirm" your donation.
