To supplement and deliver holiday gifts for more than 5 million impoverished U.S. children of all ages, the Toys for Tots Foundation relies heavily upon cash donations. Most people associate Toys for Tots with teddy bears and toy trucks. Cash donations help us to complete our mission all the way through to the delivery of toys. We believe that Entango will provide an optimal channel for increasing these donations by exposing us to new donors via the Internet. Entango provides donors with the most secure and convenient way to contribute to the 1999 campaign, while providing the Toys for Tots Foundation with more streamlined, lower cost fundraising and immediate access to monies raised.
Studies show that Web users, typically in their mid-thirties, are more proactive in their giving.
This means that they're more likely to give impulsively and respond more quickly to a donation request than the more traditional donor, who is typically more than 55 years old and not online. Until December 31st, in a special Click for Kids promotion, Toys for Tots will reward online donors with one ClickMile for every dollar they donate. Entango will email receipts to donors for their tax-deductible contributions and store them in a secure online database for easy access at tax time. Entango is committed to giving nonprofits the ability to make the most of their funds, and we're pleased that Toys for Tots will now be able to solicit and immediately collect online contributions.
