Haitian Earthquake Relief SMS Donations Reach $4-Million

The mGive Foundation, sponsors of the text "Haiti" to 90999 donation service, have announced that the Haitian earthquake relief fund has reached $4-million. A representative says that the donations "are coming in at the rate of $200,000 an hour, though they have capacity to take on more."

By way of comparison, Red Cross collected only $400,000 in mobile donations after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
