Bharat,

Have you followed up with them to explain that we were directed to them as part of the http://www.mobilegiving.org/ application process?

My understanding was that the nonprofit - the second link in the email I sent - sets it up for you and handles all the fees. We don't work directly with the providers but through them.

If not, then http://www.mgive.com is cheaper but I don't think we should do it if we have to pay $100's a month. We can't justify it.

Here we go, with a response from one of the MGF’s ASPs.

 

IN summary we are looking at:

$700 in setup fee & $420/month + ).11/transaction (200 transactions free)

 

Do we have data on how much we could looking at leveraging from this method. I can mail other ASPs too and see their pricing structure. But I don’t see us getting this for free.

Maybe you could send and cc me. :)

You can use stormy gnome org or director gnome org.

Keep this up and you'll have an @gnome.org address soon.

Thanks!

Hi Stomry

I looked at their site and to get the application material we need to
mail one of the ASPs

g8wave Inc.                  Jeff Ostiguy            jeff g8wave com
Give by Cell                 Dave Asheim          dave givebycell com
Give on the Go, LLC.    Albert J. Angel        albe giveonthego com
iLoop Mobile, Inc.         Shannon Burgess   shannon burgess iloopmobile com
Mobile Cause               George Morales      support mobilecause com
Mobile Commons          Jed Alpert              jed mcommons com
MPower Giving             Don Feuer              don mpowergiving com
Russ Reid, Inc.            Tom Hooper            thooper russreid com
Wireless Factory          Melody Page          mp wirelessfactory com

Once contacted we need to send a mail to: support mobilegiving org.

Happy to do so, but it would help if the email went thru someone whit
a Gnome email address (I dont have one). If you think that will not be
an issue I'd be happy to send the mail and followup on this process.

Best Regards
Bharat
