GiveMeaning™ offers a way to help tsunami victims Vancouver, BC — January 13, 2005 In response to the hundreds of thousands left homeless, traumatized, and disabled by the tsunami in South East Asia, Plenteus Technologies has expanded its GiveMeaning™ program to enable Canadians to connect with and donate directly to local aid groups operating in the affected areas. Donors wishing to offer support can visit GiveMeaning's new Tsunami Response Project, at www.givemeaning.com/tsunami. The site provides clear and detailed information on four lesser-known but internationally respected non-profit organisations that are serving the needs of devastated communities. "GiveMeaning™ users have told us they are anxious to help," says Plenteus founder, Tom Williams. "A majority of gift cards redeemed immediately after the tsunami hit were directed to international aid groups, but our donors also asked us to identify alternative organisations working on the ground. In response, and in keeping with GiveMeaning's mission to level the playing field for all charities large and small, we have found four amazing groups and made them part of our donor program." GiveMeaning's Tsunami Response Organisations EFICOR: Operating in India, EFICOR provides emergency relief of dry rations, utensils, bedding, water, and sanitation facilities, as well as livelihood restoration and trauma counselling. About GiveMeaning™ Launched in the fall of 2004, GiveMeaning™ is the inaugural program of Plenteus software marketing whiz Tom Williams's online marketplace for charitable giving. Through www.GiveMeaning.com , users purchase gift cards that recipients can use to support the non-profit groups of their choice. About Plenteus Plenteus brings Canada's charities together on a level playing field, matching them with potential donors. While it provides non-profits with more direct access to donors, Plenteus also gives individual contributors the information they need to decide which organisations are best suited to their own concerns and beliefs. Involvement in Plenteus is free to all charitable groups. Groups not yet registered are encouraged to do so by visiting the "For Non-Profits" section at www.Plenteus.com In addition to GiveMeaning™, Plenteus will soon roll out a number of other donor initiatives from monthly giving to retail loyalty programs.
