goodthings.com's Featured Non-Profit Groups to Benefit from Partnership with 4charity

goodthings.com and 4charity Make It Easy to Give

SEATTLE, March 22, 2001 – goodthings.com (www.goodthings.com), the Internet's premiere “guide to good,” today announced that it is partnering with San Francisco-based 4charity.com in an effort to make donating to non-profit organizations featured on the goodthings.com Web site easy.

“Our partnership with 4charity has great synergy,” said Barcy Fisher, CEO of goodthings.com. “4charity wants to make charitable giving easier, more accessible and more efficient, while goodthings.com wants to make it easy for people to “do good” in the course of their daily lives.

The partnership means that visitors to goodthings.com can, while reading a story, immediately donate to a cause they care about. “goodthings.com is about inspiring and enabling people to take positive action in their own lives. What could be easier than being able to donate to a cause right at the moment of being inspired?” said Fisher.

Connecting people to causes and projects and other inspirational people is what attracted 4charity to the new media company that launched in November.

4charity CEO Tracey Pettengill states: "Our Internet partnerships are focused on promoting change and philanthropy via the Internet. Goodthings.com is a perfect partner for us, because their very mission is to help people make positive change on a daily basis. What could be easier than donating money at the moment that you understand the need? This partnership will enable Goodthings users to do just that.”

How Do We Define "Good"?

"Good" is, of course, subjective.

To us, "good" has authenticity, depth, nuance and character.

"goodthings" means specific things (people, organizations, stories, products, ideas) that are


· creative (inventive, imaginative, original, ingenious, resourceful),
· constructive (helpful, positive, beneficial, useful, productive) and
· connective (linking, bridging, joining people and ideas together).

"Good" to us is not about perfection, nor is it a Pollyanna-ish emphasis on the positive. Instead it is a celebration of the many, diverse aspects of good already present in our world.
