CHARITIES BENEFIT FROM INNOVATIVE FUNDRAISING SOLUTION DESIGNED TO SUSTAIN THEM IN GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD; CONSUMERS MAY NOT HAVE MORE TO SPEND BUT NOW THEY CAN GIVE MORE TO CHARITIES

In this time of financial uncertainty, charities like many businesses are finding it more difficult to raise money. But thanks to AmeriDollars, a new company inspired by the devastation of 9/11, charities have a new way to increase their charitable pool of supporters as well as the frequency and amount of donations.

AmeriDollars, America's Reward & Charity Network (www.ameridollars.com), is a consumer reward program unlike any that currently exists in the marketplace. Consumers who join AmeriDollars receive cash rebates for purchases made at participating online merchants such as Best Buy, The Sharper Image, Dell, The Sports Authority.com, Office Depot, Bluefly.com, Foncentral.com and Delias. Consumers then have the option of donating their rebates to a participating charity such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Twin Towers Orphan Fund, and National Wildlife Federation or they can reward themselves.

"In complex economic times, it's important to find innovative ways to make supporting good works as simple and painless as possible," said Mike Dugan, president and CEO of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. "In addition to the 300 research projects we're funding around the world, more than a million people each year depend on the Society for services. The donation program established by AmeriDollars can help us reach out to a whole new universe of prospective donors to assist us in our efforts."

At no cost to charities, AmeriDollars may just be the groundbreaking solution many charitable organizations have been looking for to increase both the number of supporters and the amount of their traditional donations. Participating merchants cover the costs, which makes AmeriDollars a perfect solution for both national and local charities and a unique marketing tool for retailers. The charities are hoping brick and mortar retailers see the ease and benefits of the program and will join the AmeriDollar network in the coming months.

According to Susan Culler, vice president of financial development at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, "We are always looking for new and creative ways to support the work we do to help victims of abduction and sexual exploitation. We're hoping consumers will welcome AmeriDollars as an easy way they can contribute to our work without having to dip into their own pockets. Passing on rebates from consumer outlets is a great way of making this happen."

Adds David Goldin, CEO of AmeriDollars, "As a New Yorker, the importance of charity hit me fully after the devastation of 9/11. Difficult times or catastrophic events force thousands to turn to charities for comfort and support. As an American experiencing the effects of a tough economic climate, I knew it was necessary to develop a business model that could help charities without hurting the consumer's bottom line."

AmeriDollars was launched online in early November to take full advantage of the holiday season when consumers are more likely to spend money and feel charitable. Consumers who register for AmeriDollars are urged to speak with their favorite charities and encourage them to join so they can increase their funding opportunities. For consumers whose favorite charity is "themselves," there is also the option of cashing out and receiving the rebates directly.

Here's How Ameridollar Works:

Consumers register online at www.ameridollars.com and enter all the credit cards that they normally use to shop. The system is completely secure as it encrypts any cardholder information and does not interfere with other credit card rebate programs (e.g., airline miles, credit card cash back rewards). When a consumer makes a purchase at a participating online merchant, the system automatically credits the consumer's account with the amount of the rebate offered by the merchant. Registered consumers can then choose to receive their cash rewards in the form of a check sent directly to them or to donate it to any of the participating charities/nonprofit organizations registered with AmeriDollars. Registered consumers can log onto the "My Account" section of AmeriDollars at any time to view their rewards as well as a history of their reward redemptions.

AmeriDollars, America's Reward & Charity Network, was founded by David Goldin, a native New Yorker who sold his first company at age 26 to a publicly traded telecommunications conglomerate and a former vice president of Winstar Inc. After the devastation of 9/11, Goldin was looking for a unique way to stimulate economic growth AND make a difference in our society. His vision, AmeriDollars, is unique in its ability to help facilitate much-needed charity fundraising while making it easy for consumers and affordable for retailers. AmeriDollars' innovative use of the Internet is an effective, private and secure fundraising tool that provides consumers with the option of having their AmeriDollar cash rebates donated directly to the charity of their choice.
