How the donations work:
1. A project is added on this page.
2. Wuggers and other persons or organisations pledge money towards a project
3. When all the money is pledged, its paid into the financial manager for the project's account.
4. The equipment is bought and installed.
If you want to donate something, speak to ProtZkroG (protzkrog@gmail.com) or LouisZa (lpienaar@gmail.com) or gripen (gripen49@gmail.com) or Romeo0s(roy.alex0@gmail.com) on IRC or drop them a mail, your name will be added next to the piece of hardware you want to donate.
If all the money for a project is pledged, bank details will be sent to everyone that commited to a project, all the money will be EFT'd into the person's bank account who is managing the finances for the project. Different people (usually people who are directly involved with the site) manage the finances for each project.
All donations are logged on this site and your name will be added to the list as soon as the kit for the project is bought.
PTAWUG relies solely on donations to upgrade and maintain current highsites as well as putting up brand new ones.
Thanks again to everyone that has donated towards the highsites, from R50 to R4000, every bit helps.
