According to our PolioPlus people, we get all of the $5 from the text donations. Every cent, and it's instantaneous. You get charged on your next bill, and if you don't have a text plan, you get hit with a fee for sending the text. I don't know this to be fact, this is what our fund raising folks told me. Even if they don't get the whole $5, it's still easier for folks who might not otherwise make a donation.
