Wonder Funding: A Give2gether and Wonder Animation Joint Venture is Launched
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- School fundraisers have mostly been driven by online auctions, but WONDER FUNDING will be doing something different. “We will disrupt the traditional fundraising process by giving parents the chance to purchase all of their children’s educational products through their local school,” says Wonder CDO Chris Fure. Wonder and give2gether will create an online marketplace whose sales benefit their local school – a triple victory for schools, parents, and children.
“What better way is there to encourage parents to be more involved in their children's education?” says Wonder CEO Al Ovadia.
When parents purchase educational products for their children through Wonder Funding, they are not only investing in their children. They also are investing in their local schools at a time when the schools need the most help.
Give2gether CEO Arnon Shafir notes that give2gether was created to be a social fundraising platform for nonprofits, to enables schools to raise more money in half the time, and at a fraction of the traditional cost.
“We can think of no better collaboration than to apply our technology to Wonder's mission to improve schools through parental involvement,” Shafir says.
Wonder Animation (http://www.wonderanimation.com) is focused on the “parent preference” niche, a market segment that recognizes parents as the purchase-point decision-makers for their children's content. Wonder produces Transmedia content: social media that drive mobile apps, building a brand and audience to leverage TV and movie production. Headed by a former division president of 20th Century Fox, Wonder is focused on producing educational content that inspires children to learn.
Give2gether (http://www.give2gether.com) is a software-as-a-service platform for not-for-profits designed to triple donor conversion rates. Give2gether’s platform helps not-for-profits launch custom online fundraising campaigns, streamline social fundraising, grow communities of supporters, and raise more funds. Started in 2007 by four co-founders, including two professors from NYU and UC Berkeley, give2gether uses technology based on 10 years of behavioral-economics research on what makes people give and four years of live campaigns. It offers breakthrough insights on online donor preferences and what makes them inspire others.
