Canada’s first on-line charity index and donation platform launches nationwide
Place2Give.com is a complete donor centred on-line philanthropy solutionCalgary, Canada –February 8, 2011, Dexterity Ventures Inc. is excited to announce the Canada-wide launch of Place2Give.com a donor-centered on-line solution for philanthropic data collection, charity search, and
streamlined donation processes.
Developed to directly respond to the problematic issues the charitable sector continually faces
including lack of donor trust, fraud and lack of transparency, Place2Give.com provides both donors and
professional advisors (wealth managers, estate planners, lawyers, etc.) with an easy, safe and reliable
platform to research and donate to Canadian charities.
Historically, the sector has focused on charities and their needs/requirements. Place2Give.com breaks
away from this mould providing answers to donors by facilitating donation processes and procedures.
Place2Give.com is a robust database that empowers donors to search over 85,000 Canadian charities,
match their user profiles to the charities that best align with their passions, and easily donate to their
chosen charities on-line without logging out of their Place2Give.com account. The technology behind the
system aggregates data and enables reporting in real-time.
Talking about the system, Gena Rotstein, CEO and founder of Dexterity Ventures Inc. and
Place2Give.com, said “With over 15 years of experience in the charitable sector, I have come to the
solid conclusion that things need to change. By providing donors with multiple pieces of information
on individual charities, we are empowering them to decide what is important for a charity to report on.
We are moving the conversation beyond the cost of raising a dollar to really be about what donors want
to hear and see. I believe that Place2Give.com will ultimately provide a more transparent source of
information and data that donors can trust and use to make better donation decisions. At the end of the
day, donors who use Place2Give will walk away feeling better about their charitable investments.”
Ryan MacDonald, President of Uncommon Innovation, a leading market research firm,
commented “Place2Give is the best resource in Canada for donors to make informed decisions on how
they can best make a difference. I believe that the site will ultimately be the largest charity sector data
repository in North America.”
Place2Give.com is available to any and all Canadian donors today. To make a donation to your favourite
charity, visit the site at www.place2give.com.
