American Lung Association Renews as Kintera Client, Selects Kintera Social CRM as Online Fundraising Platform.

SAN DIEGO -- Kintera[R] Inc. (NASDAQ:KNTA) today announced that the American Lung Association has again selected Kintera Sphere[R] software as a service to help the organization continue to reach more people, raise more money, and run more efficiently.

The American Lung Association has renewed its contract with Kintera to provide a social CRM platform, including a content management system (CMS), constituent relationship management (CRM), e-mail and communications, Web sites, events technology, and advocacy tools to the organization's national headquarters and affiliated chapters.

"We have been using Kintera's solutions for several years with great success," said Todd Whitley, vice president of online services for the American Lung Association. "Kintera's social CRM system has enabled us to offer a robust Web site that provides an abundance of targeted information on lung diseases from asthma to cancer. In addition, Kintera technology provides us with a comprehensive view of constituent interactions and relationships. We couldn't have asked for a more comprehensive solution to meet our needs."

As the oldest voluntary health organization in the United States, the American Lung Association has become both a leader and pioneer in the fight against lung disease. More than 200 chapters across the country have been able to benefit from Kintera's social CRM system by using Kintera's CMS, Advocacy and Friends Asking Friends[R] Kintera Thon products.

Friends Asking Friends, the industry's leading online event fundraising software application, has been used by multiple chapters to help organize walks, runs, galas, and other events as well as increase online donations and event participation. The Kintera product enables the American Lung Association's event participants to create personal Web pages and easily send e-mails solicitations to personal contacts. In 2003, the organization's online donations skyrocketed to $960,000 from $320,000.

In addition to Friends Asking Friends, the Kintera Sphere platform has enabled the American Lung Association to create a Web-based supporter and donor database that is available to all 200 offices across the country. With Kintera's social CRM system, the American Lung Association is able to drive all engagement efforts based on a constituent's past interactions, including donation amount, event activities, and Web behavior. This comprehensive view enables the American Lung Association to create a more powerful giving experience among its constituents regardless of their geographic location.

"Kintera's social CRM system unites the online and offline experiences of constituents to give the American Lung Association a holistic view of constituent relationships," said Rich LaBarbera, CEO of Kintera. "And since the system is accessible via the Web, it is ideal for large organizations like the American Lung Association that has multiple chapters spread throughout the country."
