Leveraged Impacts
One of the ‘tucked away’ and yet most surprising features B1G1 gives you is the Leveraged Giving Impact (LGI) tracking feature. This is the sum of all the impacts created by your team members and the businesses you've referred.
When you invite others to B1G1, you are automatically increasing your giving footprint (meaning the giving impacts you have). The B1G1 system automatically tracks your relationships (whether they are your team members or customers/clients), and adds up the giving impacts created by your connections to produce your LGIs.
This connection is tracked through many levels and we call it multi-level giving. It’s another example of the depth we go to in B1G1 to make your giving even more important than you’d possibly ever imagined.
Here are distinctions of how your Direct Giving Impacts and Leveraged Giving Impacts are calculated.
Direct Giving Impact (DGI) = What your business directly pays for and funds
Leveraged Giving Impact (LGI) = Everything your business helps make possible through people and referrals
Your Leveraged Impact shows the true scale of your influence in the world.
What Is Direct Giving Impact?
Direct Giving Impact shows the impact your business directly creates using:
- Any company payment method
- Any company-funded Impact Tokens
It includes:
- Giving made by your business using any payment format
- Giving made by your employees when paid with company-funded tokens
It does not include:
- Giving made by employees using their own personal payment methods
In simple terms: Direct Impact shows what your business directly pays for and funds.
What Is Leveraged Giving Impact?
Leveraged Giving Impact shows the full ripple effect created by your business.
It includes:
Employee Personal Giving
If your employees or business owner create impact using their own personal payment methods, this is:
- Not included in your Direct Impact
- Included in your Leveraged Impact
This reflects the influence your business has on individual generosity.
Businesses You Introduce to B1G1
When you introduce another business to B1G1:
- All of the impact they create is included in your Leveraged Impact
- This includes:
- Their company giving
- All of their employees’ giving
Any personal or company-funded giving
Ongoing Referral Ripples
If the businesses you introduce then introduce other businesses:
- All of their impact is also included in your Leveraged Impact
This continues across multiple levels and is currently tracked up to 10 layers deep.
