KNTA Kintera (MM)

Kintera(R) Inc. (NASDAQ:KNTA) today announced the availability of online grant application software, Kintera Online Grants, that helps foundations and other grant making organizations capture grant applications more flexibly and efficiently -- without requiring a new grant making system. Kintera Online Grants enables foundations and other grant making organizations to create grant applications online, including features such as letters of inquiry and saved applicant profiles for future application use. In addition, foundations can offer nonprofit organizations the convenience of managing grant-related documents and checking grant status online. "Kintera Online Grants was developed to meet the high demand for online grant application capabilities that exists within the foundation community," said Debbie Snyder, general manager of directed giving for Kintera Inc. "In addition, Kintera Online Grants can be used with existing grant making systems, which means that foundations don't need to invest in new systems." Kintera Online Grants is a product within the Kintera Sphere(TM) suite of solutions for nonprofit organizations. Using the Kintera Sphere platform, the online grants software is integrated with Kintera Contact Relationship Management (CRM). As a result, foundations can build relationships with the nonprofit organizations throughout the applications process and can use the contact information captured online in future outreach communications. In addition, the grant software is integrated with Kintera Content Management System (CMS), which enables foundations to customize the content and branding of the online application. "It is critical that community foundations be able to develop the processes to accept online grant applications," said Carla Dearing, president and CEO of Community Foundations of America, and key member of the Community Foundation Technology Steering Committee that helped catalyze the development of the system. "Kintera Online Grants helps improve collaborative decision making, and connects grantee information and processes more effectively."
