Continue reading Instant payments for charitable initiatives

Make a donation as if you were sending an SMS. That is the ultimate aim of the Verse App, a new application which lets you make quick payments and without any fees. In line with this, Verse has collaborated with charitable initiatives and aims to promote the use of the application in non-profit organisations. For example, all proceeds from the launch party of Verse Events were donated to the CEAR organisation, which protects the rights of refugees and leads social awareness campaigns.

Verse is free to download, and simple to use. The first step is creating an account - register with your mobile number and link the account with your credit card in order to send money to any of your contacts. After that, you can send or request money by simply entering the recipient's mobile number. The accumulated balance on Verse can be transferred directly to their bank account. Additionally, Verse donates €5 for each new user that registers on the application and makes their first donation.

Along with online donations, the app can also be used to create events and split expenses. Organisations like the Turkana Eye Project, Need Ü and the Pedriatic Cancer Center project have already used the platform to promote their activities. For more information about what they do, check the Verse blog.

Continue reading E-mail marketing on Abcore Cadí will incorporate new technology!

From 15th October, the e-mail marketing service of your NGO in Abcore Cadí, which includes newsletters and mass mailings, will go one step further. We are making significant improvements to this service through iWith.org, where we will be introducing DKIM technology. And what is DKIM technology? It is an e-mail authentication technology which enables the validation of emails by the receiver through a digital signature. SPAM originating from illegal servers would be reduced to zero if all the e-mail servers used DKIM authentication technology.

The Abcore Cadí Internet Service Platform was so far functioning with SPF (Sender Policy Framework) systems, and DKIM technology will now be added to it. This change will introduce its trial version starting from 1st October 2017, and will be fully available for all of the organisations, associations and NGOs that use the Abcore e-mail marketing service from the 15th of October.

We answer some of your doubts below:

I have understood, but… will my system be affected?

NO! The Abcore administrators will find that it is the same system, open and without major changes.
 

Will I need to do something during this period?

We recommend that, at least during the initial 15 days of the trial version, you contact soporte@iwith.org before clicking on "send", so we can monitor the process and complete the dispatch.
 

Is there a charge for this upgrade?

NO! The upgrade with DKIM technology does not have any additional costs.
