MyQuire Awards Redemption 2007 Rapid Grant
MyQuire selects non-profit Redemption as recipient of $5,000 grant created to recognize innovative approaches in non-profit work among MyQuire members
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA – December 06, 2007 – MyQuire, (www.myquire.com), announced today that it selected Redemption (www.redemptionny.org) as the winner of its 2007 RapidGrant program. The $5,000 grant will provide funds to Redemption Inc a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase the educational advancement of underserved youth between the ages of 13 and 19 residing in Brooklyn, New York.
MyQuire is an online tool for doing projects. It lets members do work, meet in real time, and connect their projects with their personal and professional networks. Tiffany Tucker, Executive Director of Redemption was faced with the challenges of coordinating a growing non-profit and dealing with the headaches of having a distributed team working on projects. "We heard about MyQuire and quickly found it was the tool we needed to solve our logistical problems and coordinate our teams," says Ms. Tucker. "We wanted to get our volunteers on the same page, so we know who’s working on what, and where we can find the latest versions of our documents, schedules and tasks. MyQuire is such a relief – it changes the way we work together to make things so much easier."
MyQuire's online software is ideally suited for non-profit organizations. "MyQuire is working to solve an old problem in a new way," notes David Steinberg, MyQuire founder and CEO. "Non-profits have felt the pain of doing projects without great tools just like the rest of us have. Our non-profit member base is growing fast and we decided to create a grant that would reward a non-profit member organization aligned with MyQuire in its efforts to solve a big problem in an innovative way. Applications came to us from across the country from organizations working around the world to improve people’s lives, protect animals, and save our environment. As we read through the applications we were astounded by the amazing impact MyQuire members are having on the world, and Redemption is a terrific example of an organization that’s making a real difference by bringing new thinking to an old problem. We are honored to be able to play a role in helping all of our non-profit members work toward their missions."
