In 2007, a group of small-business owners had an idea. They asked, “What would happen if we all gave back just by doing the things we do every day?” It was a question that deeply inspired them.

Three years and a great undertaking later, they were able to design the systems and processes necessary to make it work, and their dream is now a reality. The initiative was originally called Buy 1 Give 1, backed by the idea that companies would make a giving impact with each designated business transaction. Today, the BIG1 initiative has more than 2,100
businesses from around the world—each making significant impacts every day.

All B1G1 projects are directly in support of each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by global United Nation leaders to create a sustainable future for us all.
