Hospice director Dr Ros Taylor called the donation "a substantial amount of money" which would go towards funding the free services it offers to families suffering with a life-limiting illness.
For text message donations, your telephone bill will suffice if it shows the name of the organization receiving your donation, the date and amount of the contribution.
Now that people are comfortable giving money through their phones, the mobile donation industry is looking to increase the amount of money people can give, experimenting with newer technology like 2D barcodes and multimedia messaging, and working with companies like Apple to make it possible to accept donations through mobile applications.
If you want to charge a donation to your credit card but don't want to penalize the charity, you could add an additional amount say, 3% of your initial donation to cover the extra costs.
