Mobile Giving Update

What went largely unnoticed was the fact that the Mobile Giving Foundation managed to negotiate agreements with the carriers, which waived all fees, allowing the United Way to collect 90 percent of the donation (with 10 percent going to the Mobile Giving Foundation).

This has not happened before other than in major disasters like Hurricane Katrina and, more recently, the California fires, when the carriers waived their fees for mobile text donations to the American Red Cross.
