Donors Message Service

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donors Message Service (DMS) is a mutual project of the Czech Donors Forum and the Association of Cellular Networks Operators launched on April 1, 2004. The aim of the DMS project is to offer foundations and other non-profit organizations the opportunity to obtain contributions from individuals via cellular phone in the form of SMS messages. This service will function on non-commercial principles.

The first successful collection was for the Tatra mountains in Slovakia (more than 296 thousands DMS) and the most successful ever was the public collection for Asia. Czech people (10 million inhabitants) sent more than 1.5 million Donors SMS (text: 'DMS ASIE') to help the stricken Southeast Asia region.
