St. John's College Uses Kintera Sphere to Network, Manage Prospect Information in Real-Time From Two Separate Campuses

SAN DIEGO, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 15, 2006 -- Kintera® Inc. today announced that St. John's College is using Kintera P!N(TM) Electronic Screening® in Kintera Sphere(TM) to house, network and manage prospect information. By using P!N Electronic Screening within Kintera's Web-based technology platform, the institution's staff can utilize shared data to create more comprehensive profiles and access updated information in real-time, enabling St. John's College to build more effective fundraising relationships.

P!N Electronic Screening in Kintera Sphere provides effective management of prospects through the solicitation and stewardship cycle. Using Web-based P!N Electronic Screening, St. John's College can easily identify, profile, monitor and rank the wealth of prospective donors in its database, helping the institution identify those who are most likely to give at higher levels. The college's two campuses, which are located 2,000 miles apart in Annapolis, Md. and Santa Fe, N.M., now have the ability to securely access the most current information from any location.

"Having campuses in two locations and a client-based server made it difficult to keep the entire staff on the same page in terms of prospect screening," said James Bixler, coordinator of prospect management and research at St. John's College. "Kintera's Web-based technology platform has allowed us to work with prospect screening results in real time and bridge the communications gap between our advancement staff at both campuses and on the road."

"Kintera's social CRM system makes institutional memory more readily available and user-friendly. This has helped St. John's College take the guesswork out of managing prospect relationships," said David Lawson, general manager of prospect relationship management for Kintera. "The college can now have a comprehensive view of a prospect's relationship to St. John's and build more effective fundraising relationships based on that knowledge."
