\nA new internet-based service will soon bring together Capital District businesses with nonprofits whose missions align with a company\u2019s goals for charitable giving.
\nCalled Knitt LLC, founder Lisa Munter believes her organization will provide \u201ca mindful and time efficient way to connect\u201d donors and donor organizations. Its success, and future compensation, will depend on the \u201cknitted\u201d relationships among businesses and nonprofit organizations who did not have a prior relationship, Munter said.
\nMunter is an avid volunteer and wife of a businessman whose company, Munter Enterprises, is \u201cinundated with requests for donations.\u201d
\n\u201cCompanies may have a passion for certain causes but also may be open to others,\u201d she said. \u201cKnitt is a platform for not only connecting leads but also tracking giving.\u201d
\n\u201cA company can blow its budget too soon,\u201d she said. \u201cWith Knitt, they can track and see the impact on their causes. Every business wants to be impactful and make a difference in the community. Knitt is a tool to bring awareness of charitable organizations who need support in various ways.\u201d
\nMunter entered the volunteer world when she became a stay-at-home mother, leaving behind a career in special education. At first she volunteered her time at fundraisers.
\nEventually she got on the board of such non-profits as the Dake Foundation for Children and Albany Ad Club. She continues to support Franklin Community Center and has spent a decade lending her time and talents to the Saratoga Palio Melanie Merola O\u2019Donnell Memorial Race.
\n\u201cBeing involved in nonprofits, there was always the question of how to get to the next level of sustainability,\u201d Munter said. \u201cNonprofits use customer relationship models to manage and track giving, if they can afford them. Knitt is membership based but will be offered free until they reach a certain value of donations.\u201d
\nThere is an initial $50 registration fee to verify that the organization is a legitimate 501c3 organization in good standing, she said.
\nBusinesses have the opportunity to join at no charge for two months, with an extra free month for Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce members.
\nShe is planning a soft launch in January 2020.
\nTo participate, businesses will fill out a profile. Nonprofits give as much detail as possible about their missions, what campaigns are coming up, and whether they are seeking cash, in-kind goods and services, volunteer assistance, or a combination.
\n\u201cWhen the business goes into their mailbox they will see pending connections with a quick blurb about the nonprofit,\u201d said Munter. \u201cIf interested they check a box.\u201d
\nSince these organizations have some long-standing relationships with donor companies, Knitt\u2019s software will track only gifts among \u201cnewly knitted\u201d relationships the nonprofits did not have before, according to Munter.
\nMunter said the software was built from scratch, using no existing program or product. She plans to roll out in February, initially to users in the Capital Region who may have offices in other areas, and thus Knitt can spread to other geographies.
