SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kintera® Inc. (NASDAQ: KNTA - News) today announced that EZ Prints, a leading private-label digital photofinishing, fulfillment and technology solutions firm, has joined the Kintera Connect Partner Program as a merchant partner.

EZ Prints is the latest partner to join the growing Kintera Connect Partner Program, which is comprised of leading partners in both the nonprofit and enterprise sectors integrating with Kintera's open technology platform.

With a wide range of relevant operational, technical, photofinishing and digital expertise, EZ Prints is able to offer a broad selection of photo merchandise.

"Kintera Connect will enable us to reach thousands of nonprofits across the country," said Jeff Gross, vice president of sales for EZ Prints. "Additionally, nonprofits will be able to sell EZ Prints items to their constituents, giving nonprofits another way to raise money to support their cause. Thanks to Kintera Connect, nonprofits will be able to seamlessly introduce EZ Print's digital photo solutions quickly without requiring staff support. Kintera Connect is a valuable asset for nonprofits, their constituents and EZ Prints."

Kintera Connect, an open application integration technology platform, was announced by Kintera last month.

With EZ Prints, nonprofits will be able to offer constituents using digital cameras a convenient way to share and print digital pictures on such items as t-shirts, calendars, mugs, mouse pads and canvas, making it simple and easy for event participants to honor sponsors and loved ones.
