Who is Razoo?

A "razoo" is a coin of the smallest value. The idea behind naming our company after what might seem insignificant to some, is that when combined, small contributions have great value. This word "razoo" is the root of what our business is all about--small actions coming together to change your life and to change your world.

Razoo focuses on reaching the next generation of change agents and leaders with the message that giving and serving is fun, easy, and meaningful. We do this in four ways:

Razoo.com - a social networking site that encourages user-generated content around causes, groups, personal profiles, and action steps.

Good Happens - a blog and newsletter that shine a spotlight on the good that happens all around us every day.

SpeedGranting- a Facebook application that encourages and rewards social entrepreneurs for pitching and promoting their social initiatives and allowing their peers to vote for them.

Brewing Good - offline events, currently being piloted in Washington, DC, that bring people together in a fun and creative environment to celebrate the good that they are doing.
