New Social Giving Tool, Aidbox, Launches in Partnership with Beyond Type 1, Degoo, Care2
NEW YORK, NY – Aidbox, a Swedish-founded digital marketing and social giving technology that will allow everyone with an email address to give back to charity, launched today in the U.S. Using a new algorithm, Aidbox is an email signature technology that leverages partnerships between businesses and nonprofits like Beyond Type 1, by creating a new ad space for businesses and a fundraising mechanism for nonprofits. Aidbox is reshaping the future of charitable giving by turning your email signature into a tool for raising awareness and funds for charity.
For its launch, Aidbox is partnering with Beyond Type 1, a nonprofit founded by Nick Jonas, Juliet de Baubigny, Sarah Lucas and Sam Talbot. Beyond Type 1 is working to raise awareness and educate the global community about the type 1 diabetes by leveraging the power of social media and technology to create a new brand of philanthropy.
Other partners include, Degoo, a free, automatic, online backup solution where users get up to 100 GB of free backup and the online advocacy site, Care2.
With the launch of Beyond Type 1’s fall fundraising campaign POWER UP, this partnership will help raise donations for type 1 diabetes research and advocacy. Through the Aidbox platform, people can donate, and through Care2, people will be able to sign a petition, urging the Center for Disease Control to release data segmented by diabetes type. More than 5,300 supporters have already signed on.
“Our goal at Aidbox is to raise awareness and funds for our charity partners by creating a symbiotic relationship between nonprofits and businesses. Aidbox will also give anyone with an email address the ability to become a philanthropist—no matter what time or money constraints they might be facing,” said Aidbox Founder & CEO Daniel Lundh. “As an Aidbox user, you will become an ambassador for charity and make an impact for free with a technology you’re already using everyday: your email.”
“The partnership with Aidbox will provide a new avenue for Beyond Type 1 to advocate for and educate about type 1 diabetes, in addition to raising funds to support our programs and initiatives. Aidbox will allow our community to include warning signs and information about type 1 diabetes in their e-mail signatures—putting life-saving information in front of a massive audience every day,” said Beyond Type 1 CEO and Co-Founder Sarah Lucas.
“We’re excited for the opportunity to start working with the ground-breaking platform Aidbox has designed. Both Aidbox and Beyond Type 1 embody the cutting edge thinking that we’ve made a priority at Degoo,” said CEO, Carl Hasselskog. “We welcome new ways of looking at what it means to be a philanthropist.”
“Care2 is committed to teaming up with partners who are on the forefront of creating technology that connects people to ways to make a difference in the world,” said Randy Paynter, founder & CEO of Care2. “Aidbox will allow everyone with an email address to raise money and awareness for great causes like Beyond Type 1 with every email they send.”
With Aidbox, nonprofits will increase their revenue and name recognition through a previously untapped line of communication with the public. Businesses can tap into a new advertising space that is personal, uncluttered and organic in personal email signatures. Aidbox is continuing to grow its network of charities and corporate sponsors. Daniel Lundh and his partners at Aidbox are also committed to bettering the world through philanthropy, which is why Aidbox will donate 50 percent of its revenue to nonprofits.
