FunctionFox is First Contributor to Graphic Design Benevolent Fund
June 29, 2001
In a ground-breaking agreement with the
Graphic Designers of Canada
(GDC), FunctionFox Systems, Inc. has agreed
to donate a percentage of sales of the application TimeFox to the national
GDC Benevolent fund. The Benevolent fund will be used for the aid and
support of GDC members in need; specific details are still being developed.
FunctionFox is the creator of "TimeFox", a secure, online
time-tracking and reporting application for smaller creative companies.
TimeFox was launched and demonstrated at a special reception for GDC
members, on June 14. Instead of creating a discount for GDC members,
FunctionFox Systems Inc. will donate 5% of GDC member sales to a GDC
Marketing Development Fund, of which a minimum of 10% will go toward
the establishment of a Benevolent Fund for the support and care of GDC
members.
"FunctionFox has paved the way to get our national benevolent
fund off to a solid start," says Peggy Cady, GDC National Vice
President of Membership. "This is a considerable contribution to
the graphic design profession in Canada, and we are truly grateful for
the largesse of FunctionFox. Their desire to give something back to
the community coincides with the proposal for our benevolent fund brought
forward by David Berman, the GDC Ethics Chair."
TimeFox helps keep track of time and job costs in graphic design, advertising,
public relations or marketing companies and provides accurate, up-to-date
reports whenever needed about jobs, clients and personnel. TimeFox is
simple, affordable, secure online time-tracking and reporting for smaller
creative companies.

| "Our PR and Design Agency looked diligently for a time and project tracking software application, only to find it right here in our own backyard. TimeFox paid for itself within weeks. Now we are accountable to our valued clients, we know how long we've worked on projects, and invoicing is a snap! I thank that little Fox every morning when he greets me upon log-in." Maggie Kerr-Southin Artemis Creative Communications
"TimeFox allows us to track our time more accurately by removing any/all objections my employees had to entering their time. More accurate time entries leads to better data for future project estimates because we have more accurate historical data. Better estimating leads to higher profitability and happier clients. All this leads to better profits and a happier CEO — me." Shannon Carter Cartis Group
"I needed a better time tracking system than the manual way we were doing things. I knew we weren't charging for all the "little" things and "quick" tasks like emails etc. We absolutely love your product. Learning to use it was so easy and it makes billing a snap. Thank you for developing such a functional tool. It's definitely making us more money." Allison DeFord DeFord Designs |
