Advisory Board

They meet at least once a year for strategic advisement.
We would also like to acknowledge and thank Elisabet Annell, Martin T. Hart, Uno Alfredéen and Sture Hallström for all advice and the help you've put into Pennybridge in order to make it happen.

Why do you believe people want to give?
I want to believe people enjoy sharing with others,
especially when one has their own basic needs satisfied, as many have in our country.
But then I have to put on my doctor's hat. There is of course research in this area
and I get partial support for my own thesis. However, there appear to be two main reasons
to people donating to charities: either because it makes them feel good,
or because there is a socially-conditioned "pressure" to do so.
Why have your chosen to be a part of Pennybridge?
I'm so fond of the underlying driving force that I perceive Pennybridge has.
It's about a willingness to do good for others. Any such deed sends ripples on the water.
I want to help and further develop Pennybridge and create more and bigger ripples.
If more people are given the opportunity to give, more people will be able to receive. It brings joy to my heart.
Therese Hudak. Pennybridge Advisory Board
Current positions: Director of Business Development at Digital River World Payments. Focus
on sales of global payment solutions to global ecommerce mainly within Video Games and digital products.
Previous assignments: Analyst at the Institute for Studies of Political growth, Consultant at the Swedish council of export.
Why do you believe people want to give?
I believe people give when they put themselves in the situation of others
and see the world through their eyes. Maybe a situation that someone
close goes is going through or a global event one is following by afar.
Then many wonder if I were in that same situation, wouldn’t I want others
to help me too?
Why have your chosen to be a part of Pennybridge?
The founding idea is sound, to help organizations help! Moreover, it
is really incredibly exciting entrepreneurship and to be a part of this
innovation. It is very inspiring to be around people who are willing to take
chances, which entrepreneurs do when they create something new. I’m
especially interested in the part that deals with online payments, as it’s
an area which I am extra passionate about.
Per Wildenstam. Pennybridge Advisory Board
Current positions: Project manager at Comunicado International, teaching in marketing at Nercia, Stockholm University, FEI i.e.
Previous assignments: Sales Director, Export Director, Marketing Director at different companies. Project manager at i.e. Brindfors Ad Agency.
Why do you believe people want to give?
I believe that all people have one or more "causes" that they are
passionate about. And I also feel that they want to support them
financially. Their fervor may change from time to time due to
circumstances. Like when you have children at that age when they want
interested in sports or other clubs, then you’re keenly interested in they
having good finances so that they can provide your children with the best
possible conditions for them to practice their sport. If you hade someone
close to you with a serious disease, then you really want there to be
development in research and treatment in that area. Sometimes, you
don’t have any personal connection to what you’re passionate about, but
you’re committed anyways. But what these have in common is their need
funding, funding which we can’t count on that "society" to always provide
for. So that’s why we want to give to things we’re passionate about.
Why have your chosen to be a part of Pennybridge?
I think Penny Bridge opens up new opportunities to give in a way that
is easy and doesn’t hurt your wallet so much. That you can give small
amounts but often, I think will attract many people. And to be able to
easily control their donations to many beneficiaries, like for example their
children's sports club, makes it even more agreeable. I consider it an
honor to be involved in developing such a service.

Why do you believe people want to give?
To every now and then prove to ourselves that our heart is bigger than our desires.
Why have your chosen to be a part of Pennybridge?
To prove to myself that my heart is bigger than my desires, and because I believe in the idea of a highly simplified way to giving regularly of our wealth, a small portion at a time, and where I can just as easily decide exactly where my gifts be distributed.

Why do you believe people want to give?
We give because we know more, that we do not like what we see and therefore we want to change things. We give because we believe the world can be better.
Why have your chosen to be a part of Pennybridge?
Penny Bridge is a new concept, which creates active participation for those who want to make use of the services. It’s quite simply unique and a journey that I want to be a part of.

Why do you believe people want to give?
One of the trends of the day parallel to an individualistic society, is altruism. We are many who want to give to good causes, but receivers must work transparently and we do not want funds eaten up by administration.
Why have your chosen to be a part of Pennybridge?
The system Pennybridge that offers is cost effective and transparent. And it’s timing just right. I hope that many people want to join along. Small donations make big changes.
