Charities that accept donations by text

**seand** · 30/06/2009, 12:40 PM

Bit of a strange request this one, I admit!

I'm with Vodafone on Pay-as-you-go and have been availing of free calls/texts by topping up with 20euro a month, with the result that after a year or so I have a load more credit than I need.

I know some charities in the past have taken donations by text (ie send a text to a certain code and €2 is taken from your credit and donated). Is anyone aware of any charity doing this at the minute?

Fair play to you!

A friend is involved with this http://www.bikeafrica2009.com/?page_id=114

Hopefully others can put their numbers up. Most charities I'd look to support don't have a text service

Cheers... text sent, warm fuzzy feeling experienced.

@thischarmingman, I've got maybe 40 euro credit to burn, not 40 million.

Just thought I'd bump this one up again ... any charities out there taking donations via text?

just be aware that this is €2 per month when you text, and you have to stop if you want.
