Press Release – LOS ANGELES, CA. (October 4, 2016) – Evite, Inc. (www.evite.com) and Pledgeling (www.pledgeling.com) celebrate their one year anniversary as partners in Evite Donations, which has raised over one million dollars in donations for thousands of nonprofit organizations across the US.
“We believe in bringing people together for a better world,” said Victor Cho, Chief Executive Officer of Evite. “Evite is extremely proud to be the leading brand empowering people to do good through the most meaningful events of their lives. Our customers use Evite Donations to raise awareness and funds for causes they care about, and Pledgeling has been the perfect partner to make the donations process seamless.”
Evite Donations is a free tool that turns every Evite event into an opportunity to give back. Hosts can easily add donations by selecting their favorite nonprofit from the 10,000+ members of the Pledgeling network, or recommending a new nonprofit. Guests donate without leaving the Evite digital service, and Evite never charges a fee to make donations through Evite Donations. While the event-planning experience takes place on Evite.com, the backend integration for donation processing is powered by Pledgeling, which includes instant tax receipts to donors for their donations.
“Our goal is to make it easy for Evite event hosts and their guests to give back using Evite Donations,” explained James Citron, Chief Executive Officer of Pledgeling. “We believe Evite is leading the way for other brands to integrate impact and charitable giving for their customers. We are thrilled to celebrate this one million dollar milestone with Evite, and we look forward to raising millions more together for causes around the world.”
