SAN JOSE, CA, July 22, 1999 -- Entango Corporation, an online fundraising service for non-profit organizations, announced today that International Planned Parenthood Federation/Western Hemisphere Region, Inc. (IPPF/WHR) has selected Entango to provide online fundraising capability, allowing the organization to launch its first Web site that will raise online donations. The new site is scheduled to debut in August. Entango offers secure online donation and transaction services to non-profits on a fee-per-transaction basis with no setup or ongoing costs.

IPPF/WHR, one of six regions that comprise the International Planned Parenthood Federation, plans to solicit contributions online to reach new donors who visit the Web site as well as offer a convenient option to existing donors. Entango collects donations from within the structure of a non-profit's Web site, making it simple for donors or subscribers to quickly complete their transactions. In addition to the page that Entango constructs to handle online donations, the IPPF/WHR site will also provide instructions for traditional mail donations. IPPF/WHR will be the first organization within the International Planned Parenthood Federation to institute an Internet fundraising strategy.

"By selecting Entango, IPPF/WHR will realize all of the cost- and trouble-savings of outsourcing without giving up control of its funds," said Richard L. Cox, chief executive officer of Entango. "From the moment IPPF/WHR launches its site, it can begin soliciting and collecting online contributions at no out-of-pocket cost, and with no need for building the technology infrastructure or processing data manually. This will allow the organization to devote its resources to fulfilling its mission of promoting reproductive health and rights."

Entango transfers credit card payments directly to the recipient's bank account, giving non-profits instant access to their online contributions. This solution streamlines processing and protects non-profits from fraud. Unlike other 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. The scaleable solutions, built on enterprise servers at a location with reliable power sources, large network bandwidth and high physical security, can be deployed within minutes.

"Once visitors to the new IPPF/WHR Web site see our new online donation information, many will want to contribute immediately," said Dr. Hernán Sanhueza, regional director, IPPF/WHR. "Entango will not only integrate the ability to collect donations online directly into our site, it will also give us instant access to those funds by sending them straight to our merchant account. Also, the solution will handle high volume and growth, important factors for an organization of our international scope."
