Fund Raise with Text Messages

Each year, we are impressed with the number of participants who fund raise enough money to pay for most or all of their expeditions. These youth work hard all year long writing letters, seeking donations and engaging in their own fund raising efforts. Now, we have a new, faster, and easier for participants to fund raise: you can ask friends and family to text donations directly from their cell phones.

Text HEFY +your individual code to 20222 to donate $10.00 towards the HEFY projects and your fund raising goal. 

Note: All donations must be authorized by the account holder. User must be age 18 or older or have parental permission to participate. By texting YES, the user agrees to the terms and conditions. All charges are billed by and payable to your mobile service provider. Service is available on most carriers.  Donations are collected for the benefit of the Humanitarian Experience by the Mobile Giving Foundation and subject to the terms found at www.hmgf.org/t. Message & Data Rates May Apply. You can unsubscribe at any time by texting STOP to short code 20222; text HELP to 20222 for help.

How to get text donations: 

1. Text your friends asking them to donate to HEFY by making a text donation.
2. Specifically ask them to text “HEFY XXX” to 20222  (replace  XXX with your personal code - see below*)
3. Make sure they reply YES to the confirmation message they receive so that the donation will be complete

How it works:

• You will receive a $10.00 credit toward your fund raising attainment which counts toward a discount on your trip cost.
• Their $10.00 contribution will be added to their cell phone bill.
•  Each phone number is limited to a maximum of 5 text donations.
• Make sure they include your personal code so it will count toward your fund raising. See how to find your personal code below*.

*To find your personal XXX code, log in to www.HEFY.org and click on the "Finances" link in the "My Stuff" menu and find the "text code" in the "Donations" section. If your friends and family don't include your individual code, the donation will not count towards your individual fund raising attainment.

Donations will appear in your finances account on www.hefy.org within 48 hours.
