One Donation Reports Significant Milestones Achieved During 2021

Expanded leadership team, noteworthy new clients, new product introductions, and key strategic alliances mark a banner year for the blockchain-based charitable giving platform.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC, USA – January 24, 2022 – One Donation, creator of the innovative blockchain-based charitable giving platform of the same name, today announced several key growth milestones were achieved during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

NEW PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS:

Complementing the company's original charitable giving platform, the company introduced a new API extension that connects any e-commerce platform to the One Donation network. Through this extension, merchants and vendors can opt to donate a percentage of each sale to the charity of the consumer's choice, allow the consumer to select a charity and contribution amount, and fund a donation as part of the purchase. 

"Through this new extension, each online purchase can become an opportunity to bolster support for nonprofits," said Ross Treakle, One Donation co-founder and CEO. "This innovation demonstrates the flexibility and extensibility of the One Donation platform, and when combined with our original offering that empowers employees to donate to the charity of their choice directly through payroll deduction, it exponentially increases our ability to help charities thrive in any economic climate."

The company also announced plans to introduce additional functionality and platform extensions throughout 2022, each aimed at diversifying the business and bringing innovative services to employers and across the country.

INDUSTRY-LEADING CLIENTS:

HR.com, the largest network of human resource (HR) professionals, has selected the One Donation platform to power a new social giving program available exclusively for HR.com members and subscribers. Leveraging the new API extension, HR.com will donate a percentage of each new subscription purchase to a charity of subscriber's choice. 

"Since the very beginning of our company, 'giving back' has been a priority," said Debbie McGrath, founder and CEO of HR.com. "Through One Donation, we now have an opportunity to do that at scale, and more importantly, do so in a way that connects our members to the charities that resonate on a deeply personal level."

HR.com fully integrated the technology into its checkout experience and officially launched the offering in December 2021.

KEY PERSONNEL:

One Donation bolstered its leadership ranks by attracting key HR technology and payroll industry veterans to its executive team:

• Howard Tarnoff, Chief Revenue Officer and Head of Customer Success
  Howard brings 30+ years of strategic sales and marketing leadership and innovation to the team, having previously served in senior leadership roles at Ceridian, Workbrain (now Infor), WorkForce Software, and Customer Success, LLC. Howard also serves as a member of the board of advisors for ThinkX, and is both an investor and board member with One Donation.
  
  
• Ron Anderson, Vice President of Sales
  Ron brings decades of client acquisition and client support expertise to his role at One Donation. Prior experience includes leadership experience with noteworthy providers such as Kronos (now UKG), WorkForce Software, Ceridian, CA Technologies, and others.

Through the addition of Tarnoff and Anderson to the executive team, One Donation has reinforced its deep commitment to serving the needs of employers and the HR community.

"At a time when workers want – and expect – their employers to take a more active role in supporting the communities they serve, One Donation is offering a simple, timely, and innovative solution," stated Tarnoff. "I'm proud to be part of the team that's taking this technology to market at scale and being a catalyst for positive change in the workplace." 

STRATEGIC PARTNERS:

In 2021, One Donation also teamed up with Fluree, a Web 3.0-enabled immutable data platforms provider, to serve as the technology backbone for the One Donation network. This further enhances the platform's transparency, trackability, and accountability, ensuring all donations are routed accurately and completely to the appropriate charity.
