SEATTLE: The Network of Giving today announced the ceremonial first transaction and micro-donation benefiting the community was completed in advance of the Network of Giving’s release in Seattle.

The Network of Giving Software as a Service (SaaS) platform is a powerful, hyper-local digital platform that fosters a community-minded movement through the connection of local consumers who pay with their existing debit and credit cards at participating merchants for the benefit of community organizations while creating efficiencies in digital fundraising.

Digital commerce and merchant defined & funded micro-donations allow local merchants to have the digital tools to grow their business with measured results on their marketing spend through the Network of Giving. Consumers are provided an outlet to support local organizations, benefiting the community where they live and shop – at no added cost to the consumer.

The Network of Giving is the most democratic form of giving in history through its core principles of service, accountability, innovation, and intellectual property to better the lives of those in the communities where we live and prosper.

Participating Network of Giving non-profits embrace and support this innovative and fully automated digital solution that drives impact and operational efficiencies while uniting them in their missions. Seattle non-profits include: United Way of King County, Special Olympics Washington, Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington, and Northwest Harvest.

This initial transaction activates the Network of Giving platform to foster a community-minded movement through the connection of consumers and local merchants to community organizations – while only asking all participants to do what they already do well today.
