Roozt and Buy One Give One Partner to Spread Social Good

EL SEGUNDO, CA, September 01, 2011 (Press-News.org) Roozt, a technology platform that now boasts over 70,000 users and hosts daily deals exclusively 'for profit, for good' companies has partnered with Buy One Give One (B1G1) to be its exclusive cause giving platform in the US. Headquartered in Singapore, B1G1 is a social enterprise that 'gives businesses the power to change lives.'

B1G1 links businesses to 687 projects worldwide so that businesses can give back in definable, high-impact ways just by doing what they normally do. Through B1G1, Roozt has already seamlessly given 516 children access to clean water, given school supplies to 400 children, distributed life-saving medication to 314 children in Kenya and adopted 379 plots of endangered rainforest land in just three months.

B1G1 Chairman, Paul Dunn, said that the Roozt partnership represented the company's first major link in the US. Roozt will be B1G1's exclusive partner in the US, helping Roozt to promote social entrepreneurship and the integration of social responsibility into emerging businesses.

Roozt founder, Brent Freeman, believes that the power of B1G1 is in embedding the giving into the platform. "Because B1G1 has done so much work in finding great projects, we're able to get significant leverage in our giving," he said. "It's not something that's tacked on — giving becomes part of who we are now in a very impactful way."

"Even without a US presence, we've already impacted 1.6 million lives through over 4 million giving transactions," Mr. Dunn said. "We're thrilled to be playing a part with Roozt to make a powerful difference by making giving an effortless habit. Roozt's focus on providing a central online destination for socially conscious companies to sell to is just the perfect place for us to be right now."
