I checked on line for California Fundraising Trusts and more specifically for non profit organizations based on the ZIP code for Charity Advantage in Fallbrook California. Both searches resulted in zero hits for Charity Advantage, Inc. I suspect they are a for profit organization dealing with non profits through the Internet and doing so at reduced rates. Anyone else know more? I did receive an email from one of their officers earlier since we do basically the same line of services at a state-wide level and I wrote to them to offer to collaborate.

Does anyone out there know if Charity Advantage is a nonprofit or a "For profit" organization? There is nothing on their website that clearly states what they really are. They say some pretty ambiguous things, like: "We want to thank the following foundations for their continued support of nonprofits: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Robert Wood Johnson Foundation David and Lucile Packard Foundation" But they really don't say that they received grants from these foundations. They also say: "NP Online Action would not be possible without the following companies: Cisco, MicroSoft, Dell, Yhaoo" But again they do not specifically say that they received grants or just purchased/use this technology. The only thing that is clearly spelled out is the following: "Commitment by Recipient: One-time program administration fee of $59. And, Monthly budget of $35 for website hosting and maintenance. Maintenance enables your organization to add new web pages and update content on existing pages any time." Any comments?
