Local Nonprofit Launches New Viral Marketing Tool
CINCINNATI, OH, January 28, 2008 – Today echoDonations.org™ announced the launch of its first Internet widget; a tool used to share information among millions of people who use the Internet in their daily lives. Demonstrating the capability to reach over 300 million sets of eyes, the widget provides a way for echoDonations.org™ to spread its message around the world.
Everyday more than 300 million people interact with each other online through over twenty social media websites. Facebook alone has over 60 million registered users, with numbers constantly swelling. “The widget is an incredible tool for online sharing,” according to the widget’s creator Ryan Rosensweig, Director of Web Marketing and Design at echoDonations.org™. “I believe that a new wave of viral marketing will develop quickly among nonprofit organizations as they seek new ways to share their mission with the world.”
As a sharing tool, the widget has been added to www.echoDonations.org, as well as other social media websites, such as MySpace, Facebook, and LiveJournal. Once added to a webpage, the widget has the capability to link to other sites and can be shared with other people who have accounts with a social media website or their own webpage.
The widget is a program in itself, which allows for advanced communication in a very simple, concise way. Its physical appearance resembles a button or badge on a computer screen, and contains a simple, clean message in the graphic.
Widgets are designed to spread messages as far and wide as the Internet will allow. Anyone who finds echo’s widget online can “click it,” “donate,”“grab it,” or “share it.” By “clicking” the widget, the user is linked to echoDonation.org and has the option of reading their blog. Secondly, the widget has a feature that allows its user to “donate now,” a button that links directly to echo’s donation page. Thirdly, by choosing the option on the widget to “grab it,” users can take the widget themselves and add it to their own website. Lastly, the user can “share it,” or invite others to add it to their website.
The widget provides a highly broad form of marketing, which is greatly needed in the expansive Internet world of today. No longer are marketers competing by word of mouth and billboards. Today, they must find new ways to reach out and captivate their audience.

Social Entrepreneurs Help Nonprofits Solve Critical Business Issues
Business executives put technical prowess to work helping charities help themselves
CINCINNATI, OH, January 11, 2007 – A group of Cincinnati based social entrepreneurs are tackling the two most significant challenges to the survival of every nonprofit: raising money and gaining donor loyalty. How? By providing the technology and tools necessary to do so in a world engulfed by digital trends.
Possessing all the vim, vigor, and business savvy of business entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs are a slight variation of the breed; they measure their success in terms of social impact rather than profit and return.
A social entrepreneur is someone who recognizes a social problem and uses entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage a venture to make social change. Whereas business entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit and return, social entrepreneurs assess their success in terms of the impact they have on society. While social entrepreneurs often work through nonprofits and citizen groups, many also work in the private and governmental sectors.
Every year, nonprofits face the challenge of having to work harder and spend more money to raise the same amount of fundraising support as the year before. However, increasing the frequency of direct mail solicitations or telephone fundraising is not only expensive, but involves risks. Overbearing solicitations can drive donors away, and in turn be cost prohibitive to the nonprofit. Therefore, the nonprofit industry needs new fundraising tools and communication methods to enhance their ability to communicate, raise money, and increase donor loyalty.
A local entrepreneur, Christopher Hytry Derrington, CEO of Alta Financial Technologies, set out to help solve this critical nonprofit issue. He assembled a diverse team of Cincinnati executives to explore all possible options using the latest business and technology tools.
“No longer is earning cash rewards income and tax breaks from donations exclusively reserved for the high network individuals,” Hytry Derrington said. “Now nonprofits of all sizes and donor demographics can offer their donors cash rewards for their loyalty.”
After two years of research and development, Alta created a new fundraising tool specially designed to create donor loyalty. This tool enables donors to earn cash rewards from their donations year after year. The team of entrepreneurs took a well-established trust method called a charitable mutual fund, put it on the internet by using the latest technology, and made it available to the general public.
Until now, charitable mutual fund models have required high maintenance overhead that made them available only to large dollar donors. Smaller, or “average,” donations were not cost effective in this trust due to the high costs of setting up and managing the charitable fund. As a result, the general public, or the largest segment of a typical donor base, was not being given the same compelling loyalty reward opportunities as the wealthy.
echoDonations.org, a web site created by Alta Financial Technologies, accepts donations as low as $25 to any U.S. 501(c)3 charity – currently 1.3 million on file with the IRS. All donations, large and small, that come through echoDonations.org™ are combined in an online charitable mutual fund, which is invested and monitored for performance in the market. As the charitable mutual fund builds investment return, annual Lifetime Cash Rewards™ are distributed to donors and charities while building an endowment for the charity. The benefit to nonprofits is exponential by way of the annual cash received and through the increased donor loyalty gained from receiving their rewards.
“The new technology offered through echoDonations.org is an impressive lead to the future of online giving,” said Drew Fink, Board Member of nonprofitSherpa.org, an organization dedicated to helping nonprofits through technology and innovation. “This innovative idea is has enormous potential not only in the realm of nonprofit organizations, but of any educational organization in search of loyal donors for steady financial support.”

January 31, 2008. Eligible nonprofits must have less than $1,000,000 in revenue and be less than two years in existence.

Atlantic Partners, Inc. Announces Release of Their "Green Mail" Calculator
Atlantic Partners, Inc. announced today its release of the "Green Mail Calculator"; a tool designed to enable organizations to better understand the impact their mailing practices have on the environment.
Washington, DC December 17, 2007 -- Atlantic Partners, Inc, the document management consulting organization, announced today its release of the "Green Mail Calculator"©; a tool designed to enable organizations to better understand the impact their mailing practices have on the environment. This tool is the first of several the organization has scheduled to release and freely distribute, that focus on sustainability initiatives within document management.
"We explain to our clients, 'you don't know what you don't know'", stated company President, Joseph Ferreri "And the impact an organizations document management processes have on the environment is one of those areas that go over looked". "You would be hard pressed to walk into any office today and not find the gratuitous paper recycle bin next to a copier, and there's nothing wrong with that"., said Ferreri, "But there are many other ways an organization can positively impact not just the environment, but also their bottom line, through development of better processes and employee education related to the creation and distribution of paper."
"The paperless office isn't arriving any time soon." explains company Vice President, John Erickson. "And an organizations mail management process is one of those paper intense functions that cannot be avoided." "In 2005 alone", explains Erickson, "the United States Postal Service noted that 10 billion (yes, billion) pieces of mail were designated as 'undeliverable as addressed'. Simply put, that's a lot of wasted paper, time, fuel, and electricity that went into the creation and attempted delivery of a lot of mail. We want this tool to help bring visibility to the issue."
The Green Mail Calculator© is available for free distribution at Green Mail.

“Wugging” on the web could generate cash windfall for UK charities
Wugging (web use giving) could create a massive windfall for good causes without costing web users a penny, according to research released today by Everyclick.com.
A new survey by YouGov reveals that lack of time is the main reason people give for not raising money for charity (45 per cent), but nearly a third said they would be encouraged to raise more money for charity if this could be integrated in to their daily life.
Wugging allows anyone on the web to raise money for charity simply by doing something they do every day – using a search engine. On average in the UK there are 22.8m web searches per day; 949,000 per hour; 15,800 per minute and 264 per second1. If just 10 per cent of those web users in the UK switched to Everyclick.com for their search, it
would generate £172,000 for UK charities per day2, without costing them a penny or taking a moment more of their time.
Polly Gowers, co-founder of Everyclick.com, believes wugging has the potential to become a major new source of income for charities.
She says: “Wugging is win:win – web users generate money for causes they care about without it costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. If you’re a web user who cares about good causes, it’s time to become a wugger!”
Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can specify which of the UK’s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. 12 per cent of the British public questioned by YouGov currently give to charities online, but only 1 per cent do this on a daily basis.
Commenting on this Polly says: “Our research reveals people genuinely wish they could do more for charity yet only one in ten (12 per cent) are giving online. 91 per cent3 of Internet users make use of a search engine, if we could encourage all these individuals to become wuggers, by using Everyclick.com, funding for registered charities of all sizes would increase dramatically, all through the click of a mouse.”
Launched in June 2005 Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK. The site has more than 1,350,000 unique uses, has yielded over 8 million page impressions and has over 67,000 registered uses.
