Kintera FundWare Signs Four New Government Clients

SAN DIEGO - Kintera®, Inc., the leading provider of "software as a service" to nonprofit and government organizations, today announced it has signed four new government clients who will utilize Kintera FundWare®. Kintera FundWare provides award-winning financial management software developed for nonprofit organizations and governments, including cities, towns, counties, governmental agencies and schools.

Developed specifically for nonprofits and government entities, Kintera FundWare unites accounting, budgeting and reporting tools with a built-in audit trail to create an award-winning product suite with the singular goal of relieving an organization's financial management complexities.

The four new clients include the Town of Milton (Mass.), Town of Wrentham (Mass.), Carroll County (Illinois) and the City of Kenmore (Wash.). Each will use Kintera FundWare to streamline day-to-day accounting tasks, focus on strategic financial management and demonstrate accountability to current and potential funding sources.

"We're excited to begin using Kintera FundWare," said Barry Yeaw, finance director for the Town of Wrentham. "Our primary goal in selecting this accounting software was to migrate the school district and the town together into one accounting system. Kintera FundWare will allow us to combine these two entities with very different guidelines into one unified software solution."

The Town of Wrentham expects to begin using Kintera FundWare shortly. "Once we are up and running with Kintera FundWare, each department head will be able to monitor their own budget and see where it stands at any time - something we haven't been able to do before," added Yeaw.
"The integration of FundWare with Kintera Sphere continues to strengthen our position and commitment in the government sector," said Kintera's CEO, Harry E. Gruber, M.D. "Kintera FundWare offers the ideal solution for governments to provide the reporting, budgeting and cash flow management tools they need to deliver more and better services to citizens."

Kintera acquired American Fundware, Inc., provider of FundWare accounting software, from Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU), in December 2004. In addition to the synergy between Kintera Sphere(tm) and FundWare for fundraising clients, the acquisition brings together Kintera's political and advocacy teams with FundWare's government group. This blend continues Kintera's tradition of delivering high-quality products and services to a growing client base of more than 15,000 organizations.
