Haiti Quake Shook Mobile Giving Awake- The NonProfit Times Dec 20, 2010: "Haiti Quake Shook Mobile Giving Awake
Within 42 minutes of last January’s earthquake in Haiti, the Mobile Giving Foundation (MGF), in Issaquah, Wash., launched its first text-to-give campaign for the nonprofit Yele Haiti. Charity founder Wyclef Jean used his celebrity status to alert his 1.5 million followers on Twitter that they could text their support for Haitian relief.
He raised $3 million in the first 72 hours and the age of mobile giving was born."
