Following the tsunami earthquake disaster on the 26 December 2004, Funasset pledged that throughout January it would donate all proceeds from the sale of its SilentPrint software to the DEC Tsunami Earthquake Appeal.

Funasset and Integrated Document Solutions (IDS) would like to thank everybody who purchased SilentPrint in January for their indirect support of the appeal. All proceeds have been donated from a month where sales were at an all time high. “SilentPrint is just one of the many products that we develop and distribute to organisations throughout the world,” stated Mark Williams, Marketing Manager for Funasset. “This is why we were able to donate every last penny.”

Also, Funasset’s credit card payment provider, NetBanx waived their 7% fee for all online SilentPrint transactions. “It is amazing that so many people and organisations have rallied to help the people affected by the disaster,” stated Mark. “I would like to think the increase in SilentPrint sales throughout January had something to do with our marketing efforts, but I am certain it is more to do with customers wanting to do their bit for the appeal.”

To ensure that DEC received the entire Funasset donation, the SilentPrint proceeds were passed through Gift Aid. As a result, DEC will be able to claim back the 40% tax that would normally have gone to the UK Government.

The thoughts of all staff at Funasset go out to those who have been affected by the disaster.
