New York, Dec. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroEdge, LLC, the leading
provider of solutions for the giving community worldwide, today
announced that it has acquired AngelPoints, Inc. Following the
successful release of several new offerings this acquisition represents
MicroEdge's accelerated commitment to delivering comprehensive CSR
(Corporate Social Responsibility) solutions.

AngelPoints is a privately held company based in Sausalito, California.
For the past 10 years, AngelPoints solutions have supported some of the
world's largest and most respected companies. Today, the company's easy

gifts, disaster response, dollars for doers, and sustainability serve
more than 70 corporations and 2 million employees globally.

MicroEdge is the largest provider of software and services to the
giving community with robust and integrated solutions that help
foundations, corporations and other philanthropic organizations
organize, simplify and measure the act of giving. Each year, billions
of dollars are tracked and awarded with MicroEdge GIFTS solutions, the
number one choice for grants management. The company has a 26-year
history in the community and currently serves more than 2,400 clients
globally. Together with AngelPoints, over 400 foundations and corporate
giving organizations rely on our solutions to fulfill their
grantmaking, employee involvement and CSR reporting needs, making the
combined organization the leading provider of solutions to meet this
need.

More and more organizations are expanding the scope of their giving
programs to include the contributions of time and money of their
employees. As they look to ensure alignment of their programs to their
strategy, it has become increasingly important to have a single,
holistic view of their giving. With the acquisition of AngelPoints,
MicroEdge will be able to provide 360 degree CSR reporting, providing
clients the ability to quickly and easily see their total impact, from
traditional grantmaking, to employee volunteer hours, to sustainability
practices.

 "We're pleased to welcome the AngelPoints team into the MicroEdge
organization. This acquisition exemplifies our commitment to our
clients, and accelerates our ability to meet their most pressing
needs," says Preston McKenzie, CEO of MicroEdge. "Our corporate clients
told us they wanted to simplify the management of all their
philanthropic programs. By bringing together two market leaders - the
best in grants management and the best in employee involvement - we are
able to provide clients with one partner that can meet all of their CSR
needs."

"We look forward to the possibilities this holds for our clients, our
people and our solutions," says Andy Mercy, President of AngelPoints.
"MicroEdge is a well-respected player in the giving community, and we
have a shared vision and passion for helping our clients achieve their
goals. With significantly more product development resources and larger
