PARISH of WIGMORE ABBEY
How it works
Text Donations. How it works
When
you
text
PEW
to
70085
the
phone
company
will
put
£5
on
you
bill
and
will
send
the
£5
to
Donr
who
in
turn
will
process
the
£5
through
the
gift
aid
scheme
if
applicable.
You
will
also
be
charged
the
standard
rate
for
a
text.
You
will
get
a
text
asking
if
you
can
and
will
gift
aid.
The
system
is
designed
for
marketing
purposes
and
so
your
phone
number
will
be
retained
and
contact
can
be
made
for
marketing
purposes.
But
we
are
not
a
marketing
organisation.
It
is
my
understanding that you will get a ‘thank you’ text.
You
can
text
PEWNOINFO
to
70085
and
you
will
be
donating
£5
as
above but no information will be sent and no ‘Contact, will be made.
Donr
collect
all
the
donations,
in
addition
you
will
be
charged
the
normal
text
rate
by
your
provider,
Donr
will
collect
the
gift
aid
as
appropriate
and
charge
5%
of
the
gross
(before
gift
aid)
donation
and
then
send
the
remaining
aggregated
sum
to
our
group
treasurer
at
the
end of the month.
So
£5
-
5%
=
£4.75
plus
giftaid
at
25%
of
£5
=
£1.25
means
that
your
£5 can be worth £6 to the church.
Because
we
are
hoping
all
9
church
communities
will
use
this
scheme
it
seems
fair
that
the
sum
should
go
to
a
joint
scheme,
so
it
is
planned
that
all
monies
so
collected
will
go
straight
into
our
‘Promise’
fund
for
the
Deanery/Diocese.
Please
use
this
scheme
as
we
have
been
without
church
collections
for
several weeks. Thank you
