SAN DIEGO -- Kintera(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:KNTA), the leading provider of software as a service to nonprofit and government organizations, today announced 1st Worlds Telecom Institute, Inc. has chosen Kintera FundWare(R) as its financial management software of choice. 1st Worlds will offer Kintera FundWare to the 110 chapters that make up the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American tribe in the United States. The Ramah Band of Navajos will be the first chapter to utilize Kintera Fundware for its accounting needs.

1st Worlds, a nonprofit corporation dedicated to serving the technology needs of the Navajo Nation, will offer Kintera FundWare to the various Navajo chapters to streamline day-to-day accounting tasks, focus on strategic financial management and demonstrate accountability as needed.

Developed specifically for nonprofit organizations and governments, Kintera FundWare unites accounting, budgeting and reporting tools with a built-in audit trail to create an award-winning product suite with the singular goal of relieving an organization's financial management complexities.

"We chose FundWare because of how manageable it is," said Darnell J. Maria, president of 1st Worlds Telecom Institute. "FundWare offers a complete financial management tool that will empower the numerous chapters of the Navajo Nation to govern themselves more efficiently and effectively."

Maria added that 1st Worlds' offering of FundWare will provide cost-savings to the various Navajo chapters. "Because we can offer FundWare as a hosted solution, there is no need for additional staff to run daily back-ups, install new updates or perform basic troubleshooting. The online component of the technology will make it that much easier to access and utilize, and we look forward to passing on these cost-saving measures to the tribe chapters."

"We're pleased to have been selected by 1st Worlds Telecom Institute to provide an online accounting solution for the Navajo Nation," said Kintera's CEO, Harry E. Gruber, M.D. "Kintera FundWare is well suited to provide the reporting, budgeting and cash flow management tools needed to deliver more and better services to the chapters of the Navajo Nation. We look forward to helping each chapter be more effective in the administration of its government."
