Montreal, June 30, 2003 - With an innovative and highly targeted awareness campaign, Community-online.com will help CanadaHelps.org reach existing and prospective community stakeholders across Canada and around the world and engage them to make online donations to their favourite Canadian charities.
"Community-online.com offers a great way for us to reach out to diverse groups everywhere and provide them with a way to support the charities that are important to them." said Ryan Little, Executive Director of CanadaHelps.org. "Since many of the 78,000 charities we list are cornerstones of different geographical, ethnic and religious communities, Community-online.com is a powerful means through which to spread the word about our free online donations portal."
Using its advanced Community Content, Advertising and E-mail
Newsletter services, Community-online.com will deliver targeted messages from CanadaHelps.org to the various education, health, arts, sports, cultural, and other communities of interest to Canadians locally and around the world.
