Tideturner Debuts Unique Donation Platform with “The Movember Bundle”

Tideturner’s “Bundles” are a new way to donate in support of causes such as Prostate Cancer Awareness
 
LOS ANGELES - Nov. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- Tideturner, a social platform for connecting people with charities, is excited to announce the launch of its new feature Tideturner Bundles with a donation bundle to raise money for prostate cancer awareness: The Movember Bundle.  The month of November has been widely associated with prostate cancer awareness, and for the entire month, Tideturner users will be able to donate to multiple highly-regarded prostate-cancer-focused nonprofits in a single transaction.

The Movember Bundle features the following nonprofits:

• Movember Foundation (https://us.movember.com/) - Culver City, CA - The Movember Foundation is a global charity committed to men living happier, healthier, longer lives. Since 2003, millions have joined the men’s health movement, raising $650 million and funding over 1,000 programs focusing on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.
Prostate Cancer Foundation - Santa Monica, CA - The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is the world's leading philanthropic organization funding and accelerating prostate cancer research. Founded in 1993, PCF has raised more than $615 million and provided funding to more than 2,000 research programs at nearly 200 cancer centers and universities. The PCF global research enterprise now extends to 19 countries. PCF advocates for greater awareness of prostate cancer and more efficient investment of governmental research funds for transformational cancer research. Its efforts have helped produce a 20-fold increase in government funding for prostate cancer.
• American Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.org/) - Atlanta, GA - The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the ACS has regional and local offices throughout the country that support 11 geographical Divisions and ensure we have a presence in every community.  The American Cancer Society is the largest nongovernmental funder of cancer research in the United States, having spent more than $4 billion since 1946 to find cures.

About Tideturner Bundles

At Tideturner, we noticed that while many millennials care very deeply about certain causes and movements happening around the world, the donation landscape can be difficult to navigate.  Which nonprofits are actually tackling the problem? Is one better than another? Will they spend my money wisely? Do they have a trustworthy website to accept my donation?

Often, donations will stream into the nonprofits that have the highest profile, which results in a great inequality among those working towards the same goal.  Sometimes this can even be problematic when these large organizations receive more than they can reasonably spend.

Tideturner addresses this problem with Bundles.  Bundles are carefully curated groupings of nonprofits that we have chosen for having an extraordinary impact on a certain cause. This cause could be anything from prostate cancer awareness, an earthquake recovery effort in a developing country, or services for the homeless in Downtown Los Angeles.  Users can donate using these bundles, and their money will be distributed evenly to all nonprofits in the bundle - both large and small - ensuring their contribution is both widely and deeply felt.

Tideturner is PCI compliant and accepts all major credit cards.  In addition, Tideturner can accept donations via Bitcoin, or through an existing Amazon.com account.  For every bundle, Tideturner charges a 10% fee to cover credit card transaction costs, and other expenses.  This fee may be waived for emergency fundraising efforts, such as for a natural disaster.

In addition to The Movember Bundle, the following bundles are available on Tideturner:

• The Health Bundle
• The Education Bundle
• The Environment Bundle
• The Human Rights Bundle
• The Arts Bundle
• The Community Development Bundle
• The Animal Bundle
• The Research Bundle
• The Human Services Bundle

About Prostate Cancer

In 2015, approximately 220,800 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 27,540 men will die from the disease.

One new case occurs every 2.4 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19.1 minutes.

A non-smoking man is more likely to develop prostate cancer than he is to develop colon, bladder, melanoma, lymphoma and kidney cancers combined. In fact, a man is 35% more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.

Men with a single first-degree relative—father, brother or son—with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease, while those with two or more relatives are nearly four times as likely to be diagnosed. The risk is highest in men whose family members were diagnosed before age 65.

Because approximately 90% of all prostate cancers are detected in the local and regional stages, the cure rate for prostate cancer is very high—nearly 100% of men diagnosed at this stage will be disease-free after five years.  Therefore, awareness and education are key.
