Washington Nonprofit Conference Roundup: Lively Q&A at Session on Mobile Fundraising

How long does it take for the nonprofit to receive money donated via a text message?
It typically takes about 60 to 90 days from the time the person texts the donation, according to Bailey. In the case of the Haiti relief efforts, because of the urgency of the need, mobile carriers are giving the donations immediately to the organizations, rather than waiting to collect the money from donors via their cell phone bills.
