SAN JOSE, CA, July 19, 1999 -- Entango Corporation, an online fundraising service for non-profit organizations, today announced that HandsNet™, a non-profit online information provider for human services organizations, has selected Entango to streamline its subscription process and enable it to solicit online donations. Entango offers secure online donation and transaction services to non-profits on a fee-per-transaction basis with no setup or ongoing costs.

By implementing Entango's services, HandsNet will gain improved processing of subscriptions to its new WebClipper online information service. It expects the subsequent enhanced capability to enable it to process memberships more efficiently as marketing efforts boost the number of WebClipper subscribers from 2,000 to 5,000. WebClipper tracks 600 Web sites for information on subscriber-specified topics such as family issues, funding and resources, health policy, hunger and prevention of substance abuse and delivers its findings via e-mail and the Web.

"We're pleased to help HandsNet improve its processes to reach more human services organizations and support their work for children, housing, health and other societal issues," said Richard Cox, president and chief executive officer of Entango. "Our commitment to non-profits means giving them the ability to make the most of their funds, and HandsNet will now be able to solicit and immediately collect online contributions at no out-of-pocket cost."

Prior to selecting Entango, HandsNet collected online subscriber fees manually. This lengthy process involved obtaining credit card data online, downloading the information into another system

and then waiting to learn whether transactions were valid before collecting funds. In addition to streamlining processing, the Entango solution protects non-profits from fraud. Unlike other online fundraising services that manage payments through vendor sites, Entango handles payments on the customer's site, enabling non-profits to maintain control of funds and ensure secure donor credit information.

"Entango gives us what we need - a ready-to-go solution integrated into our site at no cost but the transaction charge," said Michael Saunders, executive officer of HandsNet. "Our accounting staff is enthusiastic about the time they will save processing transactions, and subscribers and donors will find it easy to use. Eliminating the lag time not only gets the donations into our account sooner, it also improves the certainty of valid charges and cuts our risk."

Entango services collect donations or fees-for-services from within the structure of a non-profit's Web site, making it simple for donors or subscribers to quickly complete their transactions. The scaleable solutions, built on enterprise servers at a secure co-location unit, can be deployed within minutes.
