It's simple, and fun too! For your corporation to participate, you need to do the following:
Your account will be charged 10 cents for every "hit" as people on the Internet visit the charity. Chances are pretty good that all the money will be spent. If not, you'll get any unspent money back in a check that will be written the first week of January. The charity also receives a check during the first week of January.
The Internet Multicasting Service is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation chartered in Delaware with offices in the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The group has a well-established reputation and receives funding from groups such as the National Science Foundation, NASA, Sun, MCI, and others.
Next is to the web page describing the group. You can start that process yourself, or you can send us the information and we'll construct the page. Needless to say, if we do it, don't expect as much time being spent on the page as if you have your own volunteers: our elves are really burning the midnight oil this Christmas season.
If you want us to do it, you'll simply gather as much
information as you can and send it to us. If you want
to construct the pages yourself, please remember that we're
going to edit for consistency. In particular, sponsor
acknowledgements should be at the very end of the page and
will all have a standard format that will point back to
your own home system. Send mail to
Your check and contact information for your corporation and
the charity should be sent to:
Your letter should include either a packet of materials describing
the charity or the electronic mail address of your contact. We will
not put a charity on-line until the check has been received and
the web pages are fully constructed. You need to get us adequate
information so that we can use your own web pages or do the
construction ourselves.
We will acknowledge your contribution by sending you a letter or
electronic mail. During the first week of January, we will send
you a letter or electronic mail message which will tell you how
many "visits" were made on your page and will reimburse any
unspent funds.
The Internet Multicasting Service is not charging
an administrative fee for this. The full amount of the funds
sent to us will be disbursed to the charities or back to the
corporate sponsors. We are keeping any interest accumulated,
but that will be a small amount which we intend to use to defray
some of our expenses. The Internet Multicasting Service is donating
the staff time needed to keep the project going.
