Winning Workplaces Has Joined Tix4Cause.com to Offer a New Way of Giving

Evanston, IL, March 8, 2010 – Winning Workplaces, a nonprofit organization that helps small and midsized businesses create better work environments, has joined Tix4Cause.com – an innovative ticket exchange website – to offer a novel way for supporters to donate.

 "Finding new sources of donations or revenue to help fund our mission is always a top priority," said Winning Workplaces President Gaye van den Hombergh. "Our affiliation with Tix4Cause makes this simple with 24/7/365 access to donations that we might not have received otherwise."

The Tix4Cause website provides an online platform where ticketholders are empowered to donate unwanted tickets to Winning Workplaces, and may receive a tax deduction. Buyers then purchase these tickets, often at very reasonable prices, and Tix4Cause passes 100% of the proceeds onto Winning Workplaces.

Tix4Cause handles every aspect of customer service including ticket processing and handling, and offers the site as a cost-efficient, low maintenance solution to turn non-monetary donations into dollars.

"The majority of charities in the U.S. raised less money in 2009 than the year before; it's clear that the downturned economy has had a crippling effect on giving. But, with just one unfilled seat, Tix4Cause makes it easy for ticketholders to give generously to Winning Workplaces. Just think what we can do with thousands of empty seats," said Kevin Nemetz, CEO of Tix4Cause.com.
