B1G1 – Global Giving Partnering Businesses With Charities

Posted on Feb 16, 2010 under Self Help and Motivational | No Comment

Buy One Give One (B1G1) is the home of transaction-based giving.

STOP. Take a breath. And imagine you were part of a world where every transaction made a key difference.

Imagine, for example, you purchased a TV, and automatically a cataract-blind child received the gift of sight. Automatically. Or imagine if today you bought a cup of coffee and someone in Africa got access to clean, pure drinking water as a direct result. Automatically again.

It\’s all happening right now. Already Buy1GIVE1 (BOGO/B1G1) has become a true global giving \’village\’, bringing together businesses, their customers and worthy causes in a way that\’s never been done before.

It\’s happening globally, every second, every day and in every way with a staggering 556 projects already underway and making a difference.

That\’s because in the Buy1GIVE1 world, every single sales transaction, be it buying a beer in Jamaica or renting a car in Reno (and everything in between) gives back in a well-defined, resonant and measurable way.

Nowadays, when both corporations and charities have seen a decline in gains and contributions, cause-related marketing appears to really be catching on. Cause-related marketing is a business strategy involving a partnership between a company with a merchandise to sell and a charity with a cause to advance. Unlike \”corporate philanthropy,\” which simply includes a company making a tax-deductible charitable donation, cause-related marketing benefits both the company (by helping to increase sales, and thus, profits), and the charity (by bringing in contributions and calling attention to the cause.)

You buy a book, a tree is planted. You dine out, a child gets fed. Buy One Give One – simple. The list is endless and the giving simply happens automatically, every second, every day and in every way.

And it is beautifully simple. Buy1GIVE1 is now becoming a global movement as more and more businesses jump on board and enjoy the incredible benefits of transaction based giving.

In Buy1GIVE1, they make it a point that in all cases, the consumer is simply not engaged in CSR initiatives on a day-to-day basis. Buy1-Give1 generates solutions to that and it does it every second, every day and in every way.
