Mobile Donations for Super Typhoon Haiyan Aid

Many people are understandably concerned for the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan, and want to help the only way many of us can: by making a contribution to relief agencies. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people who set up scam accounts to take advantage of these situations and your willingness to donate. The organizations listed below are legitimate government and charity organizations who you can text-to-donate with confidence:

  • Text AID to 80108 to give $10 to The mGive Foundation Philippines Typhoon Relief Fund on behalf of the U.S. State Department
  • Text AID to 50555 to give $10 to Operation USA
  • Text AID to 80077 to give $10 to HOPE Worldwide
  • Text AID to 27722 to give $10 to World Food Program USA
  • Text GIVE HAIYAN to 80088 to give $10 to GlobalGiving

These charities have been vetted by the mGive Foundation, a 501c3 public charity dedicated to advancing mobile philanthropy. Working with wireless companies and nonprofit communities, they help qualified organizations receive donations through a mainstream mobile giving channel.
There is a lot to be done in the Philippines and elsewhere. Your generosity is desperately needed and deeply appreciated. Everyone at TravelLatte hopes you’ll join us in making a donation today.
