Follow on Google News | 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
By: Tideturner The Movember Bundle features the following nonprofits: • Movember Foundation (https://us.movember.com/) • 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/ 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 Tideturner Founded in 2014 and based in Los Angeles, California, Tideturner is an online community where people can discover nonprofits and causes that match their interests, discuss them, stay up to date on events or movements, and donate. Whether it be a cause, such as education or health, a local community such as Downtown Los Angeles, or specific nonprofit that a friend supports, Tideturner helps turn vague interests into lasting relationships between people and the nonprofits that need their help. With more than 1.3 million nonprofits, 43,000 distinct geographic regions, and a dozen causes, Tideturner is the easiest way for people to make an immediate impact in the areas that truly matter to them. 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. For more information about The Movember Bundle, please visit tideturner.com/ For more information about Tideturner, please visit tideturner.com/ End
