ResiGives™ and Roots Announce Partnership to Expand Real Wealth-Building Tools to the Single-Family Rental Industry

EverResi Media's ResiGives™ platform will expand credit-building, financial education, and real estate investing access to SFR operators, their employees, and residents nationwide.

ATLANTA, GA — Roots, the "win-win" wealth building community and financial wellness platform designed to make credit-building, financial education, and real estate investing accessible to everyone, today announced a strategic partnership with ResiGives™, an initiative of EverResi Media™. Through this partnership, ResiGives™ will extend the full suite of financial wellness tools to community partners across the single-family rental (SFR) ecosystem, including SFR operators, their employees, and the residents they serve.

A Gap Worth Closing

Millions of Americans who rent single-family homes show up every month, pay on time, and do everything right, yet the traditional financial system wasn't built to reward any of it. Those "rewards" programs that do exist are intended to motivate residents to spend more and go further in debt.

Rent payments rarely build credit. Real estate returns have historically gone to those who already had capital. And financial literacy has never been a standard benefit offered by the places people call home.

ResiGives™ and Roots are changing that. Together.

What the Partnership Makes Possible

Through the ResiGives™ - Roots partnership community partners in the SFR space will be able to offer their residents, employees, and networks access to:

  • A Roots $100 Investable Reward™: Just for signing up… real money that can be invested into the Roots REIT from day one
  • Positive rent payment credit reporting: Helping residents potentially improve their credit scores 30-70+ points over the course of just a year
  • Live masterclasses and financial education courses: Practical, expert-led sessions on saving, investing, and building long-term financial confidence
  • AI-powered credit monitoring and coaching tools: Tools that assess credit factors and guide members toward measurable improvement
  • Weekly learning challenges that earn Investable Rewards: Redeemable in the Roots Growth Marketplace turning everyday engagement into long-term investment, learning and real wealth building.

"ResiGives™ deepens our roots into the industry we've been cultivating for a long time. The SFR industry touches millions of families every single day. When we expand our Roots wealth building community into that ecosystem for residents, for employees and for the operators who care about their communities we turn a housing investment into a wealth-building opportunity for everyone. We are Humans Helping Humans™ and this is exactly what 'Where Everyone Grows' means in practice."

— Larry Dorfman, Co-Founder - Roots
