The portal site will use the funding to provide businesses with
customizable online Workplace Giving Centers as a way for
their employees to donate to charity and connect with their
communities.
"This second round of funding will help us meet the market
demand to make charitable and workplace giving an easier
and more engaging experience," said Pete Mountanos, founder
and CEO of Charitableway.com. "By making it a simpler, more
informative and more interactive experience for companies
and their employees to get involved, we are finding new
ways to help increase charitable contributions in America."
Michael Linnert of TCV and an executive to be named from
PaineWebber will be joining the Charitableway.com board of
directors. Current board members include former Hewlett
Foundation president David Gardner, AOL senior vice president
Mike Homer, Benchmark Capital partner Andy Rachelff,
Softbank Technology Ventures executive managing director
Gary E. Rieschel, and Charitableway.com CEO Pete Mountanos.
Charitableway.com has also joined with Social Ecology,
an application service
provider for the nonprofit sector, to offer DonorLink IT,
Web-based email relationship management software
designed to make it easier for nonprofit organizations to
keep track of and communicate with their supporters.
When DonorLink debuts in the spring, Social Ecology will
allow nonprofits that are part of the Charitableway.com
network to use the program for free for an introductory
period.
