We are honored to lend our software and support to WaterFire for an innovative online fund raising drive. We are delighted that leading non-profits use the DealBird technology platform to drive new and innovative ways to raise funds. There is a growing national trend of merging the powers of group purchasing platforms like DealBird with social media tools. We are seeing the non-profit community expand the integration between social commerce and social media tools in their strategic planning. We look forward to supporting this movement within the non-profit sector."</span></p><p style="margin-top: 4px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.2em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >"We collaborated with DealBird to find ways to leverage social media to support WaterFire and thank our generous donors," said Barnaby Evans, Executive and Artistic Director of WaterFire Providence.
