Over 430 million donated through text messages since 2004

Since their invention in 2004, Czechs have sent around 17 million donation text messages, the Donors Forum said on Monday. In total, more than 430 million crowns has been donated through mobile devices, the group said. Known as DMS, donation text messages were invented in the Czech Republic, and were first used in a fundraising campaign for disadvantaged children in 2004. DMSs have since become popular with Czech donors who last year gave over 36 million crowns in this way.
