Online Platform That Raises Money for Nonprofits Launches Competitive Giving Campaign

Sharemeister’s “Share Your Vote Challenge” Raises Money for Team Rubicon, a Veteran Service Organization

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sharemeister —a social enterprise company that allows consumers to donate to their favorite causes by spending time online —launches its inaugural competitive giving campaign today. The “Share Your Vote” campaign utilizes Sharemeister’s social enterprise marketing platform to raise money for Team Rubicon, a disaster response veteran service organization. During the campaign, people will be encouraged to visit Sharemeister.com and join a team representing the candidate they would vote for on Election Day. Teams compete by adding to their number in order to out-give the opposing team before the end of the election. Participants may earn “shares” (S!), Sharemeister’s digital currency, which is converted into monetary donations for Team Rubicon. “Shares” can be earned by spending time online using the Sharemeister browser application or by donating directly to the event.

“With the current economic situation, it is difficult to support favorite causes through regular monetary donations. With Sharemeister, users raise money through the “passive giving”

“We are ecstatic to launch Sharemeister during the election season and raise money for veterans and an organization we are passionate about,” says Marlon Henderson, CEO and Co-Founder of Sharemeister. “With the current economic situation, it is difficult to support favorite causes through regular monetary donations. With Sharemeister, users raise money through the “passive giving” that takes place by using our web browser application at no cost.”

Sharemeister was founded in 2008 by Marlon Henderson, Jr. and Jonathan Hoeflinger. After meeting in college, the two decided to start a company that combined their love of business and philanthropy. As a result, they created Sharemeister. By integrating nonprofit and advertiser needs within a user’s web browser, Sharemeister creates a unique platform that generates substantial revenue for nonprofits while allowing them to connect with donors.

“Our mission is to make business philanthropic, profitable and fun,” says Jonathan Hoeflinger, President and Co-Founder of Sharemeister. “Imagine everything you do generating revenue for causes you believe in. That’s Sharemeister.”

In the future, Sharemeister plans to partner with other nonprofit organizations and will continue to pose fun, thought-provoking questions for users and businesses who utilize the platform.
