KNTA Kintera (MM)

From donor communication to fundraising to advocacy, Kintera(R), Inc. (NASDAQ: KNTA) helps nonprofit organizations provide a rewarding giving experience. The company today announced that its CEO and The Giving Experience(TM) visionary, Harry E. Gruber, M.D., will share his industry knowledge by participating in a forum at the United Jewish Communities (UJC) 2005 General Assembly in Toronto. An industry thought leader, Gruber will serve on a panel titled "At the Tipping Point: The Future of Federation Fundraising and Outreach." The session will focus on the future of traditional fundraising and how federations can compete in an increasingly competitive philanthropic playing field. "In order to elevate gift size, wealth screening and supplemental designated giving will be key elements for federations. The Web is also a critical tool to steward donors to feel the social impact of their generosity and to provide ongoing communication between gifts," said Gruber, co-founder and CEO of Kintera. "Learning how to provide a powerful giving experience in which donors understand exactly how their donation is used is critical to future fundraising success." The forum is scheduled for 9:15 a.m., on Nov. 15, 2005 at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. Hosted by the UJA Federation of Greater Toronto, the 2005 General Assembly is the largest annual gathering of Jewish leadership. Thousands of delegates and participants will represent Jewish federations, communities, and organizations from North America, Israel and throughout the world. Providing attendees with the tools needed to foster leadership and strengthen Jewish community, programming will explore the major issues and challenges confronting the Jewish world. The General Assembly will take place Nov. 13-15, 2005. To attend the 2005 General Assembly as a media representative, contact Glenn Rosenkrantz, UJC Director of Media Affairs, at 212-284-6572 or glenn.rosenkrantz@ujc.org.
