FAQ

What exactly is Text To Give?

Text To Give is a way to use text messaging to make a pre defined donation ($10,$15, $20,$25) using a keyword and shortcode to a charity. Instead of using a credit card the keyword and shortcode add the defined dollar amount to your wireless bill. 

Text to Give programs are managed by the Mobile Giving Foundation Canada on behalf of charities and wireless service providers. 100% of your donation goes to Canadian Down Syndrome Society.

When I make a donation will data/text messaging charges apply?

Making a donation using the keyword and shortcode will not add a charge to your data/text messaging plan. It is a free service. Viewing online content may incur data charges at your network’s standard rate. 

If I opt-in to further communication how will my information be used?

Canadian Down Syndrome Society will use that information to send future communications like our 321 Magazine, our e-newsletter and information about the impact of your donations. 

How do I get a tax receipt for my Text To Give Donation?

After making a Text To Give donation you can text HELP to 90999 for a link to the MGFC site where you can download your receipt. You may also use this url to obtain a copy or your tax receipt http://www.mobilegiving.ca/tax-receipt/.

As the processor of the donation the CRA requires the MGFC to issue tax receipts. Canadian Down Syndrome Society cannot provide you with a tax receipt.

How do I get a refund if I made a donation by mistake, or someone made a donation using my device without my knowledge?

CDSS cannot provide a refund directly to you as we do not process the donation. There are two ways you can have the donation removed from your wireless service provider statement:

  • Contact their wireless service provider and ask for the donation to be cancelled/refunded by their provider
  • Contact the Mobile Giving Foundation Canada at support@mobilegiving.ca or by calling 1-855-643-6431.
