Company partners with Bloorview Kids Foundation

TORONTO, Dec. 1 /CNW/ -- Solidifi Inc., a leading provider of collateral
valuation and risk management services to the North American mortgage
industry, has announced the formation of the Solidifi Charitable Foundation
(SCF), a non-profit organization, and the selection of the Bloorview Kids
Foundation as the first major charity it will support. The organization will
seek out additional beneficiaries who are devoted to enhancing the quality of
life of children and youth with disabilities as well as their families.

"At Bloorview, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to
reach their full potential," said Valerie McMurtry, President and CEO,
Bloorview Kids Foundation. "Thanks to the support of corporate partners, like
Solidifi, Bloorview fosters innovative research, technology, programs and
services that enable children with disabilities to be active participants in
their communities, while also providing families with resources needed to face
the challenges of raising a child with a disability."

>>
Naturally, since Solidifi is involved in the real estate and mortgage
finance industry, SCF will focus its efforts to support charities that help
children with disabilities and their families secure affordable short-term
accommodations while they are undergoing treatment and then provide financial
assistance when homes must be retrofitted to meet the special needs of their
child.

"SCF chose Bloorview Kids Foundation as its first partner because the
work it does to support these children and their families inspires us to a
higher level of service," said Jason Smith, President and CEO of Solidifi. "We
will leverage our success to do our part to make the lives of these children
better and to help their families afford to care for them as they grow into
productive adults."
<<

>>
SCF will leverage its parent company's relationships in order to offer
opportunities for lenders, appraisers and others involved in the real estate
industry to support these causes as well. Lenders, brokers and appraisers that
use Solidifi's services will be given the option of donating a portion of
their transaction fees to fund SCF's initiatives.
