Survilla M. Smith, Founder/President/CEO of S.P.A.C.E: What is your mission?

What I do is to bring artists and poets into view of the public and present them as artists and poets. More or less giving them a chance at success.

I do not sell anything, but if the artists or poet wish to sell their creative works, they, of course, are free to do that. My quest was to give them a venue in which they could exhibit or read artistic creations. Read more...

From the Top - NOZA

NOZA's Craig Harris talks with NPTech News

NPTech News: What is the current focus of your company's business?
Harris: Raising money for nonprofit organizations is hard work and its expensive. NOZA's overarching focus is to make it easier and less costly. The number one reason that people donate to charity is because they are asked. Unfortunately, figuring out whom to ask is easier said than done, especially when it comes to identifying individual donors, who collectively account for nearly 85% of all charitable donations in the U.S. This is where NOZA comes into the picture: we help charities identify who to ask. Our mission statement is to help nonprofits raise more money and spend less money doing it. More specifically you could say our focus is to help charities identify whom to ask, and in a way that makes little to no impact on their fundraising budgets. Read more...

Carson: cMarket helps non profits to improve their businesses. We provide fundraising organizations with a unique internet based end-to-end fundraising auction platform that enables them to 1.) raise more money, 2.) expand their reach to build awareness for their cause, which combines to 3.) make their lives easier. Some of our non profit customers have moved their entire silent auction event to us to run online, others are running their auctions online with us as a build up to a live event. By being online, they naturally expand their reach beyond their geography or usual affinity audience to reach donors who are interested in the non-profit's mission or maybe just want to bid on some Red Sox tickets and other unique items.
