Azalea Software Continues to Tithe Itself

Business Wire, August 8, 2007

SEATTLE -- Electronic Frontier Foundation, Eliza Bryant Village, and Doctors Without Borders are all recipients of Azalea Software's continued charitable contributions. These gifts are part of Azalea's ongoing commitment to tithing: "putting their money where their heart is." Charitable giving is core to Azalea's business model.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), founded in 1990, defends free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today, championing the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights. Azalea Software's barcode software can be used for evil and supporting EFF balances this out.

Eliza Bryant Village is Ohio's oldest retirement community for African-Americans. Jerry Whiting, Azalea's President & CEO, has a three-generation association with EBV. "My grandfather and father were very involved with Eliza Bryant. It's my pleasure to continue this tradition."

Doctors Without Borders is an independent, international medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries. All of Azalea's employees believe that healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and few organizations better epitomize this than DWB.

In addition to these three major organizations, Azalea also supports a number of other efforts including this year's Hope Heart Classic golf tournament in Seattle, the Tibetan Technology Center in Dharamsala, India, and the Stephen Shames Foundation in New York City.

Founded in 1992, Azalea Software publishes barcode software and bar code fonts. Located in Seattle, Azalea is an old school boutique company unconcerned with outside stockholders, dress codes (let alone casual Friday), or profits at anyone's expense.
