texting money

If you text $10.00 to help out in a disaster, how much do they really get ? Would I do better to just send a check ?

It’s a relative painless way to donate, especially small sums from many people, and it works fairly well for the charities. It attracts younger donators, and sets them up for future contacts via phone so the charities will be pursuing this. There are costs, but there are costs to processing checks as well.
