CauseNetwork, Inc. Overview

We Bring Giving to Life
#LiveToGive
About Us
CauseNetwork was conceived with modest goals and driven by the hope we could do good
things for great Causes that really need help.
In early 2014, we realized that we had an opportunity to do something extraordinary. Real
changes in our national culture and in technology has opened a door. So we set our sights on
building a company that can do well and do good. Then we built a solution that rivals or
improves upon platforms from companies with valuations reaching into the billions of dollars.
Increasing consumer and market demand for Corporate Social Responsibility, combined with
the pace of technological innovation, have created the opportunity to turn the power of
capitalism and commerce into non-profit fundraising. Our goal is to be the best solution
available for Causes, Supporters and Advertisers alike.
Management will use this round of funding to accelerate growth and achieve our market
potential as the world’s first non-profit Advertising network - online and mobile.
We Are a Consumer & Cause-Driven Marketplace

Both cost $100 from
the same Advertiser

favorite Cause – the Audubon Society
• Made the Advertiser look great to loyal
Audubon Supporters

• Generated profits for CauseNetwork
But the one bought through
CauseNetwork …

survey of fundraising professionals

 One in seven online donors gave using a mobile device in 2015,
up from one in 10 in 2014.
 68% of Americans own a smartphone, according to
Pew Research Center.

very few have them.

“…the ‘Boomerang Generation’… is exerting it’s potent
influence to reshape Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) in the most powerful place of all – the
marketplace.”
“Advertisers are learning that the good they put into
the world is now returning to them – as a boomerang
in the form of return on investment.”
“Millennials are the most racially diverse generation
group in the United States… at more than 86 million
people, the largest in history.”
Millennials Pull Corporate Social Responsibility

In addition to revenues from each marketplace, we’re adding new ways for Supporters to generate donations and profits
Operational

• Donors get a tax write-off for the full resale value of the products.
We Convert “Goods” Into Donations (and Profits)

approach that will deliver a customizable suite of features
offering our Causes an even greater number of tools and
content options.
Management plans to offer all of these features in our basic
version for free.
Larger Causes that wish to utilize CauseNetwork’s platform
more extensively will be offered Premium Services (e.g. fully
customized mobile app) for a small fee.

Our Two Patents Pending Give Us an Edge
Using retail POS systems to capture donations for a user’s Cause:
US Patent Pending #14/951,610 Filed: 11/25/2015
This is designed to work with our mobile app. We are in the process of securing and launching in-store coupons
with Advertisers in brick and mortar stores now. These Donation CouponsTM, offer a proven, easy way to handle
donations at cash registers. Competitors would need to find ways to capture donations in other ways than the
one that already dominates the market*.
Exclusive offers on one site, protected & fulfilled on another
US Patent Pending #13/913,018 Filed: 06/04/2013
This is designed to protect pricing on exclusive offers from Advertisers. During our early stages, Advertisers
expressed interest in price protection so we built, implemented, and proved the concept and value with several
of them. Using this IP, Advertisers can sell products and guarantee pricing, order tracking and donations
generated with total control over costs and distribution.
• Do research, create plan
• Design/build IP and platform
• Launch beta with Causes
