LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
FastTrack Fundraising, an online provider of fundraising
solutions, was recently recognized as one of the country's
fastest-growing "Companies to Watch" as part of the annual Inner City
100 List. The national program, awarded by Inc. Magazine and the
Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), evaluates and ranks
the fastest-growing inner city businesses across a rigorous range of
standards and metrics. Former California Governor nominee Phil
Angelides presented the award at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Los
Angeles. FastTrack Fundraising was one of nine Los Angeles-based
companies that received the award. Other recipients included American
Apparel, Pacific Outdoor Living, and Giroux Glass.

   The companies are nimble and innovative, and according to George
Gendron, former editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine, "Inner City 100 CEOs
are innovators and their companies continue to be a window into the
future of the American economy." Companies are honored for
"extraordinary growth and innovative business practices." In tough
economic times, there is a desperate need for more efficient
fundraising as grants dry up for inner city organizations. FastTrack
Fundraising, based in the Los Angeles metropolitan hub, understands
their plight and aids thousands of inner city communities nationwide
by providing highly-profitable fundraising solutions.

   "By strengthening community foundations - schools, churches, and
non-profit programs, we provide a solid base for the community to
build upon and prosper," says Harold Y. Tan, founder and CEO of
FastTrack Fundraising. "We're here to ease the fundraising process for
organizations so that they are spending less time finding critical
funds and spending more time on what they do best - educating,
inspiring, and providing." To date, FastTrack Fundraising has helped
organizations raise over 6 million dollars, which provides
organizations the freedom to better serve their members and the local
community.

   FastTrack Fundraising provides a variety of unique, turn-key
fundraisers including the popular discount card fundraiser, online
fundraisers, and healthy alternatives to chocolate bars. "Just as
inner-cities need revitalization, so does the fundraising industry,"
says Tan, referring to the decades-old industry of overpriced
gift-wrapping and basic candy sales. "Our solutions are hassle-free
and value-packed so that every hour spent fundraising can be cut in
half." All of FastTrack's fundraisers require no up-front costs to
start, allowing the organizations a friction-free path to get the ball
rolling on fundraising.
