Peter, “Pappy,” Young from Australia and founder of Buying2Give.com, is on a global mission to unite people around the world to help one another and simultaneously fight extreme poverty. He has helped develop a number of online organizations to bring people together in the fight to solve poverty including help for international students, training orphans who had been living on the Manila dumps and supporting and mentoring social entrepreneurs in areas of extreme poverty.

Buying2Give.com helps the communities of purchasers around the world and supports the fight against extreme poverty by contributing 50% of the gross profit back to the community, as identified by the purchaser, and an additional 40% of gross profit to the BottomBillionFund.org. Bottom Billion Fund supports micro-loans specific to those living in extreme poverty. (Listen here to an interview with Tom Coleman, founder of the Bottom Billion Fund.)

This is one example of how an individual can contribute to the bettering of the world through the investment of energy and ideas. Peter is dedicated to bringing the daily purchasing community together to get what they want while contributing the profit back into the world’s communities and fighting extreme poverty to boot.

About Robin Eschler

Robin L. Eschler, the founder of Social Impact Marketing, started her career in developing foundational marketing strategies for companies of all sizes, from Fortune 500 to individual entrepreneurs and local businesses. She has developed and implemented international campaigns to launch high tech products and services and guided new business owners to successfully navigate the difficulties of growing a business.

Her life-long passion for helping others led her into nonprofit work for over a decade. Early on, she recognized the need for nonprofits to adapt to a rapidly changing world in which technology dominates and for-profit business practices are central to success. Her determination to help social causes in a sustainable way led to her creation of the Women's Radio show Socially Conscious Investing.

Impact investing in for-profits with a mission of social change such as the fight against extreme poverty is a blossoming business sector around the world. With the economic decline, it's clear that Wall Street requires change. Social impact investing addresses that need in a way that provides financial and social ROI.

As the Host of Socially Conscious Investing on WomensRadio, Robin's goal is to educate people about the growth of social impact investing and social venture. Interviews are conducted with socially conscious business experts including foundations and nonprofits, social venture investment firms, micro-loan organizations, investors, educators, authors and social entrepreneurs.

This show's mission is to help change the world through sustainable business practices that contribute to the economy, combat poverty, end hunger and provide better lives to all.

Twice, Robin has been recognized and received the highest honorary award that Rotary International gives, the Paul Harris Award, for service above self. Her community work has included developing local programs for disadvantaged populations such as foster children, troubled teens, and people with disabilities.
