SAINT PAUL, Minn.–NetGiver, a philanthropy app owned by the Minnesota Credit Union Network, has won a Minnesota Technology Association 2020 Tekne Award in the Financial Services category.
NetGiver is a CUSO that enables fee-free charitable contributions exclusively for credit union members through a mobile giving platform.
Created by Minneapolis-based venture studio, DNT BLNK, NetGiver supports users in making a fee-free donation to any 501(c)(3) charity, directly from the user's account to the charity. There are no fees.
“It used to be when you wrote a check to a nonprofit for $100, the nonprofit got the full $100. Today however, with credit and debit cards as our primary way of giving, charities now incur fees they never used to when donations were made with cash and check,” said Eric Berg, DNT BLNK's founder/CEO and co-founder of NetGiver. “It is an honor for DNT BLNK and NetGiver to be recognized with a Tekne Award this year.”
Added John Ferstl, COO with the MnCUN Network Service Corp., “NetGiver helps credit unions to exemplify the ‘people helping people philosophy’ and demonstrates that credit unions are embracing innovation in technology.”
