Giving Impacts
Through our Lifetime Partnership with B1G1: Business for Good we are able to make giving part of our business. Unlike traditional giving programs that use a portion of your donation for administration fees, B1G1 pass 100% of our giving to the nominated projects. B1G1 also breaks down all projects into the smallest amount required to make an impact, so no matter how big or small our giving is, we can still make a positive difference in the world. (e.g. $0.01 to give 1 person access to clean water for 1 day, compared to $5,000 to sponsor a well). Finally, B1G1 has a very strict selection process for the Worthy Cause projects that we support.
