Silas Partners Designs www.hopegivers.org to Help Faith-Based Organization, Hopegivers International, Effectively Use the Web to Achieve its Mission Kintera(R) Inc. (Nasdaq:KNTA) today announced that Hopegivers International has launched a new Web site (www.hopegivers.org) using Kintera technology. Designed and developed by Web ministry solutions provider Silas Partners, the new site was launched to effectively build relationships and raise money needed to help the organization achieve its mission. Hopegivers International is a faith-based international child rescue organization. Silas Partners selected the Kintera Sphere(TM) solution suite to enable an integrated communications strategy for Hopegivers. Using Kintera Content Management System (CMS), Hopegivers personalizes Web content based on a visitor's existing relationship with the organization. In addition, Hopegivers uses Kintera E-mail to communicate the organization's ongoing social impact and encourage donations to continue its work in villages worldwide. Kintera Fundraising provides Hopegivers with the tools necessary for online fundraising. "Our philosophy is that a Web site should be used to build and grow relationships, and that is reflected in the new www.hopegivers.org site," said Dr. Bill Bray, communications and development director for Hopegivers International. "Our site is designed to both provide information on the need that exists in the world, as well as to move people to action." In light of Hopegivers' Web ministry goals, Silas Partners designed the site to highlight the needs of abandoned and impoverished children worldwide, as well as the organization's work to provide them with food, shelter and hope. In addition, the site offers visitors and supporters the opportunity to participate in the mission by becoming "Hopegivers" via financial support, volunteer time or prayer. "The Kintera Sphere solution suite offers nonprofit organizations the ability to effectively connect online with supporters, using their Web site as both a communications and fundraising vehicle," said Steve Johnson, vice president of channel sales for Kintera. "For Hopegivers International, Kintera offers a means to further achieve its mission of rescuing children and their families, providing 'hopes' such as nutrition, education and safety."
