What claiming does How does your 990 look to donors? Take the 10-Question Audit

The mission of the Foundation is to enable the Mobile channel for charitable Giving in support of good causes by using the convenience, security and ubiquity of text messaging and other wireless network based billing systems. Nonprofit organizations will find Mobile to be an effective channel for new donor acquisition, fund raising and donor interaction. Donors will find the use of Mobile to be convenient, immediate, private and secure. Merging philanthropy with the power of the Mobile medium serves the broader objective of expanding the pool of contributors to include those who might only be able to afford to make a small gift through a 5 or 10 charge collected through their wireless bill. Donors can immediately respond to a Mobile call to action whether IT is delivered at point of sale, on television, via print, etc. 100% of each donation is remitted directly from the wireless operators to the mgf, which in turn gives 100% to the qualified charity recommended by the donor.

90¢ of each $1 spent went to programs.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
