Kintera(R) Inc. (NASDAQ:KNTA) today announced that
Habitat for Humanity International has opted to use its Friends Asking
Friends(R) fundraising program to help raise funds for building homes
with Gulf Coast hurricane victims at http://faf.habitat.org.
Habitat for Humanity is using Kintera's Friends Asking Friends
e-mail invitation program and online donation processing tool as part
of its overall fundraising efforts to help families left homeless by
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita rebuild their homes and their lives. The
technology enables supporters to build a Web page for themselves or a
team, establish a fundraising goal and monitor the progress in
real-time. Individual donors and fundraising teams use the online
program to rally the support needed to help Habitat for Humanity
respond to the unprecedented affordable housing demand created by the
hurricanes' devastation.
"Kintera's Friends Asking Friends technology is one more tool in
our belt that allows us to further engage existing supporters and
reach out to new potential donors," said Tim Daugherty, senior
director of direct marketing at Habitat for Humanity. "Friends Asking
Friends enables our supporters to connect with friends and family, and
encourage support while helping people rebuild their lives and homes
-- not only in hurricane ravaged areas, but around the world."
In addition to personal Web site creation and e-mail invitation
capabilities, Friends Asking Friends provides real-time donation
tracking and e-mail notification to help monitor fundraising success.
"Kintera's online solutions are helping Habitat for Humanity
engage and communicate with donors during this important time for the
organization," said Steve Klein, senior vice president of business
development for Kintera. "Supporters are benefiting from a rewarding
giving experience, as they understand that their donation is helping
rebuild the Gulf Coast by providing homes for families left homeless."
Friends Asking Friends is a module of Kintera Sphere(TM), an
enterprise-grade software platform that provides a secure, scaleable
and reliable system for customer relationship management (CRM), a Web
content management system (CMS), e-marketing, and directed giving
applications.
