Givezilla offers nonprofits a leg up on fundraising

The loss of a friend was the catalyst for Richard Waldvogel, co-founding of Givezilla http://www.givezilla.com/ .

Richard Waldvogel’s loss is producing gains for some Colorado nonprofits.

Waldvogel, a 36-year-old software developer, last year co-founded Longmont’s Givezilla Nonprofit Technologies after a friend died of breast cancer.

"At that point I had not done too much with nonprofits other than buy Girl Scout cookies," he recalled. "This, in some ways, is my gift."

Givezilla, a for-profit company, partners with Internet retailer Amazon.com to help nonprofits retain up to 10 percent of product sales made on their websites. The company also plans to offer other Internet services to nonprofits, including website design and donor e-mail.
