GiftTool Highly Rated Online Donation Tool
"Solid choice" for charities and non-profits that need to
support events, product sales, membership drives and online donations
Vancouver, BC - December 13, 2005 - GiftTool, a provider of ePhilanthropy and
other hosted software services for charities and non-profit organizations, was highly
rated in a recent report from leading industry group Idealware. GiftTool was the only
online donation solution to receive a rating of "Excellent" in six out of the seven
categories measured. GiftTool was recognized to be of particular benefit to those
charities and nonprofits that need to support events or product sales as well as donations.
"We’re very proud to have been so highly ranked by Idealware," said Kjartan Mather,
president and founder of GiftTool. "Charities and nonprofit organizations need to work
intelligently and efficiently to manage their event, membership and donation revenues.
Every hour and every dollar saved on administration can be redirected to program delivery.
That is why hosted solutions like GiftTool are a necessity for doing business. GiftTool
allows an organization to efficiently collect and manage funds without creating a
burdensome IT infrastructure."
With its multilingual capabilities, GiftTool’s solution was noted as being better
suited for Canadian charities and nonprofit organizations than other solutions reviewed.
Of particular interest to Canadian charities and nonprofits is GiftTool’s ability to deliver
encrypted electronic tax receipts in both French and English that conform to the standards
of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Although not noted in the report, GiftTool’s Canadian
pricing structure also makes it more affordable for Canadian organizations than many other solutions.
Idealware is a leading resource for charities and nonprofit organizations, providing candid
reviews and articles about software solutions of interest. Its review states that GiftTool
is a solid choice for the majority of charities and non-profits, "particularly for organizations
that need to support events or product sales as well as donations. They offer complete integration
of their clean and user-friendly donation form into your website . . . As a Canadian company,
they offer additional receipt and language options to support Canadian organizations."
Overall, Idealware found GiftTool to have low setup fees and rated GiftTool as "Excellent" in
the following categories: Company Background, Setup and Support, Donation Form Appearance,
Payment Processing, Reports and Data, and Money Distribution.
