Cassie1975.out of interest, how much of that R25 goes to SPCA in the end? I just ask because I know the cellphone companies in the past have taken a huge chunk of these campaigns, and you might as well just have a snapscan/EFT or something a lot more efficient. good luck for the challenge!

Let me ask...thanx for the question...I will post here again once I have an answer.
CASSIE1975 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Posted July 17, 2017 I am a huge snapscan fan!!! I will make the suggestion...maybe they can start using it...have also used it before and it works like a charm at the till points!!!
Shebeen Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 really? Let me ask...thanx for the question...I will post here again once I have an answer.FYI - might already be sorted, but I don't really trust our mobile operators to ever do the right thing if not forced https://mybroadband.co.za/news/cellular/154302-mtn-and-vodacom-took-money-from-donations-for-struggling-farmers-report.html
CASSIE1975 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Posted July 17, 2017 FYI - might already be sorted, but I don't really trust our mobile operators to ever do the right thing if not forced https://mybroadband.co.za/news/cellular/154302-mtn-and-vodacom-took-money-from-donations-for-struggling-farmers-report.html Sounds like this issue was sorted out? When motivational speaker Frank Teixeira heard about this, he started a Facebook page to gain public support to remove the administrative cost for these campaigns.His campaign was successful, and Vodacom, MTN, and Cell C agreed to pass on the full donation amounts in future.Cell C said that in the case of a national natural disaster, it is committed to the zero rating of a donation short code.“Cell C agreed to support the campaign by waiving all profits and costs associated with this donation line, which means all funds donated by Cell C subscribers will be given to the cause. We have backdated this to November 2015,” said Cell C.Telkom said it has always waived revenues, commissions, and charges associated with approved charitable SMS fund raising campaigns run by certified organisations.“Telkom, however, has a network roaming partner which carries traffic in areas which we do not currently have mobile network infrastructure in place,” said Telkom.“Due to this, Telkom charges a minimum fee of 15 cents to allow us to recover the costs of roaming SMSs which we pay to our roaming partner. All remaining funds are then handed over to the Wireless Access Service Provider that has been chosen by the organisation to provide this service.”

I just HOPE that SPCA get MOST of the funds...it is going to a VERY GOOD CAUSE...and BIG companies ABUSING that is just F-up
Veebee Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 good on you for doing it for another year. I have also joined SPCA again, now just need to get working on the fundraising.
CASSIE1975 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Posted July 17, 2017 good on you for doing it for another year. I have also joined SPCA again, now just need to get working on the fundraising. Well done VB Good on you!!!I have not done any seeding races this year So i hope my group starting time would be okay...otherwise I will just start with the SPCA guys, let's see what happens.

I just ask because I know the cellphone companies in the past have taken a huge chunk of these campaigns, and you might as well just have a snapscan/EFT or something a lot more efficient. good luck for the challenge! Got some info from SPCA and about R2.50 to R3.50 per sms goes to the operators.At least +/- 90% of the funds go to the SPCA WE CAN NOT DO IT WITHOUT THE HELP AND FUNDS FROM YOU GUYS.
CASSIE1975 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 YOU support us (SPCA) with SMS and other funds...YOU guys are the REAL HERO's THANK YOU!!!
CASSIE1975 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 If you think of ALL that is involved...NOT only cats and dogs at the various SPCA centers across SA, but ALSO Farm Animals...Animals in distress... EVEN THE BIG FIRES WE HAD IN KNYSNA a few weeks / months ago...SPCA was involved in a BIG way with Animals and Fire fighters... ALL the funds generated go towards ANY of these causes and just imagine how MUCH actually can go into saving and caring for Animals on such a BIG scale in South Africa??? Just think of the few dogs, birds and cats in your family...then multiply that by thousands and then get an idea of the costs involved...
CASSIE1975 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT...much appreciated!!!
