The process is quite simple: Music Saves Lives tweets out a message that says something akin to @MusicSavesLives “1 RT could fund a program 4/ 2012. Who has the guts? RT & Confirm a $50,000 donation”. If someone re-tweets (RT) the message they are sent a direct message to sign up at Twitpay. They sign up and confirm the donation using a credit card and the process is done. This would be the first and largest donation made through the Twitter social site.
Music Saves Lives has been seeking out Fortune 500 companies to match dollar for dollar as an incentive to capitalize on the positive media that could come from the largest donation ever on Twitter in addition with aiding in these entities’ philanthropic pursuits.
