Pikimal Seeks to Help Donations to Japanese Disaster Relief

Company Creates a Tool for Finding the Best Disaster Relief Charities

2011-03-18
PITTSBURGH, PA, March 18, 2011 (Press-News.org) At tragic times, such as the recent disaster in Japan, citizens donate an incredible amount of money to relief funds and charities to help those affected. Sometimes knowing what charities to trust and which ones align nicely with a person's beliefs is difficult if not impossible.

Pikimal, an online decision engine, created a Japanese Relief Charity Piki (think of it like a Wiki for picking) that allows you to easily find a charity that perfectly fits your desired giving, such as "best charity for Christian givers" or "best charity for medical aid." Instead of spending hours online researching charities, now a person can quickly build a list of choices that fits their needs perfectly and get relief to those who so desperately need it that much faster.

Pikimal was created to help users make the difficult choices in their lives. People want to make informed decisions, but the effort of educating oneself on all topics is overwhelming. That's where Pikis come in. Thanks to Pikimal, you don't need to be a breeder to know the right dog for your family or a ski expert to know the perfect resort for your weekend get-away. Finding the best products for your lifestyle or the solution to difficult online choices has become painless thanks to the power of Pikimal.

Pikimal is Pittsburgh-based and founded in February 2010. We plan to separate great products from great marketing and make decision-making simple and collaborative. We allow users to pick nearly anything and determine what about that product or topic matters specifically to them.
