There are nearly 600 nonprofit organizations listed in Tampa alone. When seeking philanthropic opportunities, local corporations are not at a loss for a selection of specific missions, and as a nonprofit organization, earning donations in a murky economic climate can prove highly competitive. But when Maria Magruder, founder of Lifeline Outreach International, stumbled upon Savtira Corporation in Tampa, a creative solution for a partnership was discovered – one that will empower multiple nonprofits simultaneously.

TAMPA, Fla. (September 1, 2011) – There are nearly 600 nonprofit organizations listed in Tampa alone. When seeking
philanthropic opportunities, local corporations are not at a loss for a selection of specific missions, and as a nonprofit
organization, earning donations in a murky economic climate can prove highly competitive. But when Maria Magruder,
founder of Lifeline Outreach International, stumbled upon Savtira Corporation in Tampa, a creative solution for a
partnership was discovered – one that will empower multiple nonprofits simultaneously.
“With the world becoming more and more virtual, the need to upgrade our technology to keep physical goods coming in is
a must,” said Magruder. Lifeline Outreach International has been gathering donated physical goods for more than a
decade. Starting in Anchorage in 2000, Magruder went from gathering food and clothing for Alaskan First Nations peoples
to currently delivering sustainable, humanitarian goods and medical supplies to Africa. With such impressive shipping
needs, Magruder, as with countless nonprofits, was in a constant search for corporate donors and partners to help
advance her organization’s mission. With a little social media networking via LinkedIn, Magruder found Savtira
Corporation, a new provider of business-to-business e-commerce solutions.
So how can a seemingly virtual “Software-as-a-Service” company help Lifeline Outreach International? “We were
more than happy to help Maria’s operation,” says Savtira Corporation CEO, Timothy Roberts, “We got creative with how
we could get involved – which is what we do as innovators. We will be creating a platform for the organization to house
its own eStore for collecting donations.” Lifeline Outreach International will have the ability to upload self-created
videos and audio files for downloading and/or streaming. Site visitors can donate to “purchase” a download of the media
files. A development such as this is valued at more than $300,000, not including ongoing servicing.
“This opens-up an entire new avenue for fundraising for us, along with the multiple nonprofit organizations that
will get to partake in this amazing system,” says Magruder, “It isn’t just about the videos or audio files we create, but
the catalog that Savtira will be providing as well. Many nonprofits will be empowered by Savtira’s platform.” Savtira’s
Software-as-a-Service Cloud Commerce solution covers both digital and physical goods, using e-commerce to sell
everything from downloadable entertainment programs to consumer electronics. All Savtira eStores are branded and
custom-tailored for Savtira clients and may distribute downloadable and packaged goods from the Savtira Catalog. The
Savtira Catalog has nearly 13 million items. Of course, Lifeline Outreach International may select certain items to go
into their eStore for donations – specific books, movies or products that fit the nonprofit’s profile.
“Additionally, Lifeline will have the ability to provide other 510(c)3 charities the opportunity to have a presence on their
website through a directory located on the home page,” explains Roberts, “Those partnering nonprofits will have the same
commerce abilities to earn donations.”
The variety of opportunities made available for Lifeline Outreach International through its partnership with Savtira has
Magruder more than ecstatic, “To have the ability to display projects and connect other nonprofits and ministries that are
doing good works is priceless,” says Magruder, “The website will be a central place for networking information by way of
video, audio and text – from several organizations in the area and across the globe all at once! The possibilities are quite
endless.”
