Agilis Company Selected by Affinity Connection to Provide Customized Processing.

ALBERT LEA, Minn. -- Agilis is pleased to announce it has been chosen by Affinity Connection to provide customized donations and document processing for all of Affinity's 225 clients.

Affinity Connection works with affinity groups and volunteer-driven organizations to create solid, growing relationships with graduates, alumni and donors. Thirty-five years of experience serving the Greek alumni market at 62 colleges and universities have enabled Affinity to develop a communications and fundraising model that focuses on driving momentum toward major fundraising. Besides the Greek system, Affinity now also works with college alumni associations, alumni interest groups and various nonprofit organizations.

But serving 225 different organizations can present several challenges when it comes to traditional donations and document processing companies.

"We selected Agilis to be our partner because they offer significant enhancements that simply were not available for our clients elsewhere," said Greg Woodman, Affinity's CEO. "Agilis' enhanced scanning and imaging capabilities, their integration with call centers and Internet sites, their fast turn-around and reasonable rates - it all ultimately translates into improving our clients' relationships with their donors."

The tasks Agilis will handle for Affinity's clients include processing donations, depositing membership dues and updating member biographical data. Agilis will also expedite fulfillment and acknowledgement work, which includes mailing out thank you letters, tax receipts and premiums to members and donors.

"Our new relationship with Affinity is a great match," said Corey Gordon, Agilis' President and Chief Marketing Officer. "When you think of servicing 225 unique organizations, there isn't much standardization in terms of processing. Affinity needed a partner that was flexible enough to meet the specific needs of each one of their individual clients in an efficient, cost-effective manner. Our flexibility in systems and processes is a perfect fit with their commitment to their clients, and we look forward to working with them as they provide quality services to a large, diverse client base."

Agilis is a national lockbox/caging company dedicated to meeting the unique needs of nonprofits and other organizations requiring customized processing services. Agilis' expertise lies in helping high-volume, high-exception organizations who find themselves in a "wholetail" environment, and need a processing company flexible enough to meet their complex set of needs. This expertise translates into tailored services ranging from donation, payment and document processing, to data entry, data capture, data integration and scanning and imaging. The end result - Agilis is able to provide customized solutions that save clients both time and money, while ensuring data integrity and expedited funds availability.
