Bringing More JOY to The World — Introducing Five New Global Projects in B1G1
At B1G1, we talk frequently about the Power of Small — how every simple act of giving ripples out to create extraordinary impact.
But we’ve also learned something important along the way: with so many wonderful projects available, sometimes choosing can feel overwhelming.
We also noticed another challenge.
Lower-cost projects naturally attracted more giving while equally vital higher-cost projects — like conservation efforts or specialized education programs — often received less support. And because project costs and availability shift over time, it wasn’t always easy for businesses to keep their giving consistent. Project activities are also like business activities, cost and nature of activities can change as they evolve as well.
Yet the goals of many of the project activities around the world are often aligned: clean water, quality education, improved nutrition, restored forests, empowered families, protected rights….
That’s why we created Global Projects several years ago. And now, they’re getting even better to make your giving experience with B1G1 even more powerful.
Why Global Projects Are SO Powerful
Global Projects group together initiatives with the same purpose across the world and distribute contributions fairly among them.
It’s a great approach that produces beneficial outcomes. It’s:
- Simple – Just one choice, but many projects supported.
- Sustainable – Contributions continue even when individual projects complete or rotate off the platform.
- Stable – Costs are set at a fair global level, ensuring consistent long-term giving.
- Fair – Projects that require higher-cost resources in some locations are no longer disadvantaged.
With Global Projects, your giving becomes more sustainable, effective, and joyful. Global projects let you focus on the impact, not the logistics.
Expanding the Global Project Family
Two years ago, we began with six foundational Global Projects that many B1G1 Members already love:
🌍 Give Access to Clean Water in the World
🌱 Plant a Tree in the World
📚 Give Access to Education in the World
❤️ Provide Health Care in the World
🍽️ Give a Meal in the World
🏠 Give Shelter in the World
Today, we’re thrilled to share that we’ve expanded the Global Project family with five brand-new Global Projects, opening up even more opportunities for us all to create lasting change:
1. Empower Income Generation in the World
💵 US $1.5 = Provide a day of income support
Here you help individuals break the cycle of poverty through training, stipends, and entrepreneurial support — from equipping women with business skills to mentoring young innovators. Your giving becomes seed capital for self-reliant futures.
2. Support Animal Health and Wellbeing in the World
🐾 US $2.5 = Provide an animal consultation or treatment
When you choose this Global Project, you bring care to animals in need through emergency surgeries, vaccination drives, and essential supplies for shelters — creating a global ripple of compassion for creatures great and small.
3. Protect Rainforests in the World
🌳 US $0.05 = Protect one square meter of rainforest
This new Global Project lets you defend the lungs of our planet by preserving biodiversity, combating deforestation, and supporting community-led conservation. Your giving fuels a coordinated global movement to safeguard irreplaceable ecosystems.
4. Protect Human Rights in the World
🕊️ US $0.6 = Provide a day of human rights support
Here you become a shield for the vulnerable. Support shelters, legal aid, trauma therapy, and advocacy — ensuring survivors of exploitation and children with special needs reclaim safety, dignity, and hope.
5. Bring Joy to Lives in the World
✨ US $0.2 = Provide a day of life enhancement support
This one is really cool and brilliantly named. Here you go beyond survival to nurture dignity, belonging, and happiness — from adaptive tools for people with disabilities to community activities for the elderly. Your giving restores joy to lives that need it most.

Now They’re on the Map — with an Improved Visual Experience
Previously, contributions to Global Projects didn’t appear on the Impact Map, since ‘global’ isn’t a single location. That sometimes made giving feel less visible.
We’ve now solved this. When you give to Global Projects, your impact appears as radiant lines stretching to multiple regions, showing how your contribution is touching lives all around the world.
It’s a more visual, inspiring way to see your giving in action.
Why Using Global Projects is So Important for Regular Giving
We’ve always encouraged Members to use Global Projects for recurring giving — such as monthly contributions, product-linked giving, or any ongoing integration. This ensures stability and sustainability in your impact.
Of course, individual projects remain just as important — they’re perfect for ad-hoc giving or when you want a personal connection to a specific initiative. But by making Global Projects the foundation of your giving, you create long-term consistency while still leaving room for your specific and meaningful one-off choices.
We hope that this expansion of our Global Projects lets you experience even more JOY with the simplicity and greater variety and specificness of our overall diverse project mix.
💡Want to introduce your favourite charity to B1G1? Share with them the B1G1 Giving’s program criteria right here so they will consider applying for the program. The program is totally FREE of charge to the qualifying approved organizations and we take nothing off the contributions all Members from around the world make (of course, less direct bank charge costs that banks take away - if any financial institutions or companies want to sponsor this, we are very happy to hear from them too!!)
Together, we really can bring more JOY to the world.
