LOS ANGELES, Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On #GivingTuesday,
November 28, Evite, the leading digital service for bringing people
together, is launching its "Make More Merry" campaign to inspire
people to make charitable giving part of their holiday party
plans.
Evite Donations, powered by Pledgeling, enables event planners
and user hosts to offer guests charitable donations as part of
their event options. This service is free, and unlike many online
donation-processing services, Evite does not take a fee.

During the campaign, Evite will highlight six non-profits over a
period of six weeks to inspire event hosts to pledge their events
to causes.
The featured non-profits are:
- American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(ASPCA)
- Doctors Without Borders
- Feeding America
- Marine Toys for Tots Foundation
- Pratham USA
- Water.org
On Evite's Make More Merry page, users can see the impact of
contributions made to-date, and learn how to use the Evite
Donations™ feature. Evite has also included suggested donation
amounts based on the impact those donations will have.
"Especially during this time of year, people want to give back,"
said Victor Cho, Chief Executive
Officer of Evite. "Evite Donations makes it easier than ever to
spread generosity and joy in the world. With Evite's new text
feature, hosts can even text invitations and their guests can
donate right from their phones. Even the smallest donations can
make an impact."
Evite expects to hit the $5
million mark in total dollars raised for charity through
Evite Donations by the end of 2017.
