NEW YORK, NY (May 16,
2016) – The Mortgage Bankers Association Opens Doors Foundation (MBA Open
Doors) today announced that it is accepting “Text-to-Give” donations.
MBA President and CEO David H. Stevens, CMB, made the
announcement during his opening remarks to the conference.
MBA Opens Doors is a
non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to families with a
critically ill or injured child by making their mortgage or rent payment.
Any Opens Doors Foundation
supporter with a cell phone can text “ODF” to the number “20222.”
Once the
donor confirms the return message a donation in the amount of $25.00 is made to
the Foundation. A one-time $25.00 donation is charged to the donor’s wireless
bill or prepaid balance.
“The attendees at MBA’s
conventions have already been very generous.
More than $20,000 has been raised
at MBA’s meetings in 2016 alone, through small donations of individual members
moved to give by the stories of families that Opens Doors has helped,” said Debra Still, Foundation Chairman and
CEO of Pulte Mortgage. “By using ‘Text-to-Give’ we can streamline that process
and make it much easier for individual members to give not only at our
conferences and meetings but throughout the year.”
