NYCharities.org
is a free Web portal where donors can find information on more than 60,000
charities in the state, contribute to those organizations on-line, and
find volunteer opportunities. The site is powered by customized versions
of the GuideStar database and search engine.
"We are delighted to collaborate
with NYCharities.org," said Bob Ottenhoff, GuideStar's president
and CEO. "Donors can use NYCharities.org to find nonprofits doing the work
they want to support, then donate to those organizations through the site's
safe, secure on-line donation system. Charities of all sizes can reach
out to new supporters through NYCharities.org. They can receive on-line
donations either by posting NYCharities.org's donation button on their
Web sites or sending donors to www.nycharities.org. We welcome NYCharities.org
as our newest partner and wish every success for both NYCharities.org and
the nonprofits it serves."
An e-ticketing tool enables
charities to use the site to sell tickets to their fund-raising events.
Charities use the tools on NYCharities.org
at no charge and receive 97 percent of every donation made to them through
the site. Although the remaining 3 percent helps offset the cost of each
on-line transaction, NYCharities.org makes no profit from these transactions.
"We are delighted to provide
this service in cooperation with GuideStar," said Cristine Cronin,
NYCharities.org's president. "Together, we are providing technology that
gives New York charities large and small equal access to tools that will
enhance their ability to attract donations from new audiences. Technology
expertise and upkeep is easiest for larger, wealthier nonprofits. Most
charities in the state, however, operate on $400,000 a year or less, making
it difficult for smaller organizations to build traffic to their Web sites
effectively. NYCharities.org provides a stable on-line support system that
enables struggling nonprofits to concentrate on their missions while giving
donors access to the latest Internet tools through which to contribute
money and time."
