RoundOut- The Social Giving Application

Feb. 11, 2015 - PRLog -- RoundOut Develops the World’s Most Efficient Way to Donate to Charity

RoundOut Leverages Kickstarter to CrowdFund the First Social Giving Application

BOSTON, Mass.–February 2, 2015– RoundOut, a revolutionary mobile application which bridges the gap between the age-old idea of giving to charity and the ever-expanding new world of technology, begins fundraising on Kickstarter.

Roundout enables users to round each of their transactions to the nearest nickel, dime, quarter, or dollar and gives them the opportunity to donate the balance to their pre-selected charities, making the donation process as simple as a swipe on a smartphone.

“The lack of a simple, at the fingertips donation method is preventing a wider range of people from getting involved with charity – especially a younger generation.” said Mikey Van Siclen, co-founder of RoundOut. “By giving people a way to ensure their spare change always goes to good use, RoundOut will lead to an overall greater number of donors as well as an increase in total amount of money given to charity.”

Roundout’s intuitive micro-donation methodology gives users complete freedom and flexibility to donate on their terms and according to their budget. Whether you are a long time donor or someone looking to donate for the first time, RoundOut’s streamlined efficiency makes it perfect for all ages and all income levels.

Key Features of RoundOut include:

·       By rounding each of the users’ transactions to their preferred denomination (nickel, dime, quarter, or dollar), RoundOut encourages recurring micro-donations that will add up to make a lasting impact.

·       Giving to charity becomes social – users can interact with charities in unprecedented ways, connect with others who care about similar causes, and share their philanthropic work with friends, family, and the world.

·       Charity Profile Pages allow organizations to showcase who they are, what they do, and how users can help. Users can quickly find and select the charities they want to donate to, and view a charity’s profile page when they’d like to learn more.

·       The ability to set Minimum/Maximum Monthly Donation Limits will ensure that longtime donors can still donate their preferred amount while new donors do not give away more than they can afford.

·       TaxTrax – RoundOut keeps track of every donation you make and stores it in a digital receipt. With one click, you can email the file to yourself to reference in your tax deductions.
