How it works
There is no donate button and nothing to opt into. Giving is built into the way the business runs.
1
You pay for something
A programme, an event, a subscription, a tool — any payment made through the Wealth Mentor Academy — our checkouts, not anything else.
2
1% is set aside
One cent in every dollar of the price before GST is set aside for giving — roughly one impact for every dollar you spend. Wealth Mentor pays it; the price you pay does not change.
3
It becomes a real project
Every week that money goes to B1G1 projects in the area you chose — people, water or the environment — or spread across all three.
Where the giving goes
Members choose an area in their account. Each area funds four vetted B1G1 projects.
Global
The default. Your 1% is split evenly across people, water and the environment.
- All twelve projects below
People
Health and nourishment for families who have the least.
- Healthcare for remote communities, Malawi
- Child blindness prevention, Kenya
- Bednets against malaria, DR Congo
- Seeds to nourish a child, Malawi
Water
Clean, safe water where fetching it is a day's work.
- Give a water well, Malawi
- Clean water via bore holes, Kenya
- Life-saving water, Ethiopia
- Sustainable water for the community, Kenya
Environment
Forest, wetland and the animals that live in them.

- Protect wetland for threatened wildlife, New Zealand
- Protect forest from wildfire, Borneo
- Vaccinate a street dog against rabies, Nepal
The global goals it lands on
Live from B1G1: impacts created by the Wealth Mentor group, by UN Sustainable Development Goal.
Part of the Wealth Mentor group
Wealth Mentor is the parent of a group of companies, and giving through B1G1 runs across all of them under one account. The total at the top of this page is the whole group's, counting since the day we joined.
B1G1 (Buy1GIVE1) is a global movement of thousands of small businesses that build small, specific acts of giving into everyday business activity. Every project is vetted, every dollar is tracked, and 100% of what's given reaches the project — B1G1 is funded separately by its member businesses.
If you run a business, you can do the same. Joining through our link adds your giving to the Wealth Mentor network's count.
