The projects for Buy1GIVE1 receiving need to be effective, sustainable and scalable.

When you receive transaction-based support, you need to be able to serve the cause depending on what you receive.

So, not all of your activities are naturally suitable for Buy1GIVE1.

You have to see how much administration costs are incurred through the projects as well because we have a responsibility to deliver what we promise.

So, listing the cause that you can expand depending on the support you can receive is a great place to start your list with.

Feeding children, planting trees, giving medical support, sponsoring education etc are some of the popular causes. But you may have other creative projects that attract different types of businesses. If you have any questions when you are creating this list, simply contact us for support. We are here to work with you in making everyone’s giving more effective, inspiring and sustainable.

You can calculate your administration cost and allocate part of this cost to be covered by the contribution to a project when you list your Worthy Cause project. We suggest you add on a fixed percentage to the basic cost to provide your service to cover your admin and overhead costs. 

This is important in order to assure your expansion when you receive more contribution. For example, when you are feeding and educating children and you received more contributions than ever for this cause, can you reach out to more children with that amount of contribution? Does it include the other cost involved in this particular giving? If you need any support in getting clarity in how to come up with the Worthy Cause project costs, please contact us. We are here to work with you to make your giving more effective, sustainable and impactful long-term.

Some of the things Buy1GIVE1 Businesses are looking for (this is not always required, however, you have to be able to provide these when requested) :

• Legal registration documents
• Tax receipts
• Information about your cause
• Newsletter or other regular updates
• Audited accounts
• Pictures, videos, stories
• Accepting site visits from supporters
• Good communication (email the best)

Interesting question! This is all about sharing the joy of giving. Each business has its own story, passion and connection to a cause. We cannot ensure that everyone wants to give to the same cause no matter how effective and inspiring it is.

Every cause – small or big, more emergency focused or long-term focused is important in a broader picture. So, we do not endorse one particular organisation to the entire network.

However, the more we focus on supporting each other and working together than independently trying, we can do more.  So the organisations who have the attitude of ‘giving more’ tend to attract more support and exposure in the world of Buy1GIVE1.

Buy1GIVE1 helps businesses give effectively and 100% of contributions from Buy1GIVE1 Businesses reach their Worthy Cause Partners.

So, we frequently get asked this question. Each Buy1GIVE1 business member (just $1 a day) covers part of the operational cost of Buy1GIVE1. Buy1GIVE1 also offers a range of products and services that create resources for the on-going operation of this unique initiative. Some companies and individuals who resonate with B1G1’s purpose and vision also fund Buy1GIVE1.

So, in short, Buy1GIVE1 can keep operating and expanding through many people supporting the concept and coming together to make a difference!
