Teams with Entango for Online Donor Incentive Program
Leading
online fundraising provider enables nonprofit organization to connect
with donors, including a special Holiday campaign in fight against
AIDS.
SAN FRANCISCO,
CA, Dec. 20, 2000 --
The American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) is getting plenty
of mileage out of a special fundraising campaign this Holiday Season
thanks in part to Entango, the industry standard for online fundraising
services for nonprofit organizations, and Netcentives Inc., a leading
provider of technology and services for loyalty and direct marketing.
amfAR and the two Internet companies are teaming up and challenging
the public to help them raise $500,000 for AIDS research with a
campaign that awards ClickMiles(TM) for every dollar donated online
to amfAR (www.amfar.org). This campaign to raise $500,000 runs through
January 15, 2001. For every dollar donated online during this campaign,
up to 15 ClickMiles will be awarded. ClickMiles are redeemable one-to-one
for frequent flyer miles from 10 leading airline programs, including
American Airlines, Continental Airlines and United Airlines, as
well as for high-quality merchandise, hotel stays and car rentals.
amfAR selected Entango to deliver online fundraising capability
to its website and to manage the special donor incentive program.
"We chose Entango for two reasons," explained Andrew J. McInnes,
amfAR's Director of Special Projects. "First, we did a price comparison
of a number of organizations that offer similar types of services
and Entango’s fee structure was highly competitive. Second was Entango's
reputation. Importantly for us, they had an existing relationship
with Netcentives, who recommended Entango very highly."
"We share amfAR's commitment to AIDS research, prevention, treatment
education, and sound public policy advocacy," said Steve Harkness,
President and CEO of Entango. "With our full-service outsource solution,
amfAR is able to offer its donors a fast, easy, and safe way to
support this important charity."

the support of AIDS research, AIDS prevention, treatment education,
