Empowering people in the Czech Republic since 1991

DMS

 DMS or Donors Message Service

If you are in the Czech Republic and have SIM card from one of the three mobile operators, send an SMS saying DMS STROM to number 87 777 (valid in all operators' networks) and you will support The Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation. An SMS will cost CZK 30 out of which CZK 27 will be credited to CEPF's transparent account. On sending an SMS you will receive a confirmation via SMS that the sum was sent to The Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation. 

DMS is a joint project of Czech Donors Forum, an organisation to encourage philanthropy in the Czech Republic, and the Association of Mobile Network Operators.

The aim of the DMS project is to enable foundations and other non-profit organisations to receive contributions from individuals via SMS messages sent from their mobile phones. Donors Message Service operates on a non-commercial basis. DMS is a simple way in which any holder of a mobile phone can support any number of selected projects.
