Southampton, New York: December 6, 2006
Gary T. Glanz, President of GCI released the following statement today: “We are very pleased to report
that we have successfully closed on our first round of private investor funding for GCI. This infusion
of capital will allow us to forge ahead with our business plan as designed. And that plan is nothing
less than an effort to revolutionize the way individual donors, businesses, charities and not-for-profit
organizations look at giving and receiving donations.”
GCI is an Internet based, for-profit company that helps charities and not-for-profit 501[c] 3
organizations raise critically needed funding. Using a host of web-based tools and strategies GCI intends
to create a series of opportunities for businesses and individuals to give money to their favorite
charities in a way that is easy, less time consuming and more powerful than methods currently in use.
GCI also intends to drive more of each contributed dollar to the charities involved by cutting the
administrative costs and overhead that can be associated with charitable giving.
GCI’s homepage, www.goodconscience.net, will be the focal point for its efforts. At this site, individual
donors will have the ability to Pledge, Donate, Travel, Auction, Raffle and Spend, all in Good Conscience,
with varying portions of each transaction going directly to the coffers their favorite charity or
charities. Businesses will have the opportunity to sign their employees up for on-line payroll deduction
for charitable giving and possibly even participate in the GCI Retail Merchant Discount program.
Individuals and businesses can also sponsor charities and not-for-profits for membership in GCI and
thereby sign them up to receive charitable donations.
One of the first charitable organizations to sign on is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island, whose
CEO, Bill Tymann says, “This is a win-win for everyone. We get much greater exposure to potential
donations at far less cost and we also get to concentrate more on what we do best, which is helping
kids. We heartily support the efforts of Good Conscience.”

Come out of the “shadows” and shake off the winter doldrums by getting yourself to the 1st Annual Good
Conscience “Ground Hog Day Mixer,” which will be held at the corporate offices of Good Conscience at 848
North Sea Road in Southampton on Friday February 2, 2007. This celebration of the advent of early spring
is meant to bring local charities and businesses together and begin exploring creative ways the commercial

The atmosphere will be casual, and the tone relaxed, but GCI will show interested local companies and
charitable organizations how GCI has set a new standard for helping raise money for good causes.
Basically, it’s all about the internet and doing things “better, smarter, faster and at less cost.”
If you are a local charity or not-for-profit and could use more business connections to help you raise
needed donations, you should attend! If you’re a local business and want to get more involved in good
causes that benefit our community, you should be there! (And please come to see our new charity art
gallery, too!)
For more information and to RSVP give Bob Nikolich a call at 631-726-GOOD (4663).

Good Conscience, Inc., a Southampton based Internet tools developer whose primary focus is helping charities
and not-for-profits raise money on line has kicked off its national marketing campaign with very encouraging
early results. GCI has now registered client charities in seven states, other than New York, and it looks as
if many more are to follow. According to Executive Vice President Phil Keith, “This initial success in spreading
our message is the result of two significant moves. The first is hooking up with Google to promote GCI through
a powerful ad word campaign and the second is forming an advertising partnership with Philanthropy.com, a not-for-profit
oriented powerhouse whose impressions are better than two million a month and is aimed directly at our target market.”
Keith also reports that “GCI has significantly upgraded its Charity Sign-Up function, making it incredibly easy for
any not-for-profit to join the GC Network. There are no fees for registration and anyone with even the most basic
computer skills can have a charity, church, school or charitable project up and running literally overnight.”
