How partner charities benefit from being part of the Collective.
We make regular giving easy for you. We make regular receiving easy for the charities you give to. We do all the admin, accounting and receipting associated with collecting donations and IRD obligations. The money just shows up in our partner charities’ accounts every 3 months. That means more time and human resources that they can direct towards making a difference. Here's some of the key ways we help.
Charities fund their work in a variety of ways such as annual charity drives, one-off campaigns, and grant applications. None of these options come with the confidence provided by regular donors giving regular amounts. It's difficult for charities to do accurate forward-planning if they’re not sure how much money will be available by a certain date. We solve that problem. Our partner charities can be sure that the Collective donations amount they receive at the end of the next quarter will be similar, if not greater, than the amount they received last quarter. We update charities every month on how their donations are tracking and provide a dashboard they can log into to see up-to-date donations and other useful data in real-time
We give charities every cent of every dollar you donate. Unlike other third-party donation platforms, we don't take a cut. We can do this because our running costs are covered by generous business sponsors and the amazing Future 70: 70 generous individuals each contributing $20 per week.
Unlike most grant funding, we don’t tell our partner charities how to spend your donations and we don’t require them to spend precious time doing any extra reporting beyond what’s required by law. That’s because they had to meet our eligibility criteria to become a One Percent Collective partner charity. Our Board of Trustees have done the due diligence and regularly review our partner charities. That means we can be sure, and you can be sure, that their internal practices, policies and procedures are as worthy as their external impact.
We help charities tell the human stories at the heart of what they do. It’s a way for them to connect with more people and it’s a way to connect you with the impact your donations are having.
Raising awareness is a challenge for all charities – not just awareness that generates donations but awareness of their service for the people who need it. The days of free meaningful reach on social media and other digital channels is over. When we talk about our partner charities and tell their stories online, there’s a little bit of money behind every piece of content to ensure it reaches the audience who needs to see it. That’s money that our partner charities can’t usually afford but we can, thanks to the businesses and individuals who cover our running costs.
