MACS raises funds
in a variety of ways. Below is a summary of how you can participate. We
currently rely heavily on individual donations from members and various
Churches in the UK. We have received a few substantial grants from
Aspect Capital and the Lottery Fund and we plan to continue to approach such
funding agencies. |

MACS on EBay
- Ebay is a vast auction site on the Internet, selling
over £6 billion worth of items last year.
www.Ebay.co.uk
- MACS have setup an account on Ebay to enable us to sell
your ‘stuff’ – anything from books to cars.
- If you are interested, you need to provide information
about your item – ideally with photos and be responsible for getting the
item either sent or picked up.
- It’s a lot easier than taking your items to the local
charity shop – or trying to ignore it in the corner of the garage!
- Below are more details on how the
process works. and a checklist for you.
Missionfish on Ebay
- MissionFish enables people selling on Ebay to give some
of the proceeds to charity.
- Tell anyone you know who sells on Ebay – that they can
now choose to donate a percentage of the sale price to MACS.
- All they need to do is select MACS from the MissionFish
list of charities, which they do when entering details of their auction
item onto the site.
MACS' shop front
- Companies like John Lewis, Oddbins and M&S will give a
percentage of the sales price (between 2 and 12%) to MACS if you go
through our website at
http://buy.at/malawimacs
- ** Prices are NO higher than if you bought directly
from the provider’s site – so there’s nothing to loose.
- Try it out - it just adds one click to your internet
shopping trip.
- There are also some special deals, e.g. if you buy
broadband through the site, the company will donate £27 to MACS.

EBay Giving through MACS - Checklist
- Provide a description and preferably photos of the
goods for sale, and as much relevant detail as possible e.g. physical
state, age,
- Tell us whether you are willing to post the goods to
the successful bidder - or whether you would prefer them to come an pick
them up. Postage is a better option, because more people are likely to be
interested and bid.
- Tell us what percentage of the proceeds you would like
to go to MACS - most people give 100%
- Provide us with your contact details. A mobile phone
number and email address are particularly useful - so that we can contact
you quickly, if the need arises.
EBay giving - the Process
- You contact us via email at
malawimacs@gmail.com
- Send us the details outlined in the checklist above.
- We will put up details of your sale item, using our
Ebay account.
- We will manage the bidding process, e.g. liaising with
the bidders and the eventual winner. This normally requires us to get
answers from you - so your mobile phone number and email address are very
useful.
- Once the auction is completed we will put the
successful bidder in touch with you so that you can both sort out the
details.
