How are SDG impacts calculated?

Each project on B1G1 is associated with at least 1 and up to 3 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Every time you give, we equally divide your impacts across the relevant SDGs so you can track your impact towards each Goal easily.

When a Worthy Cause requests to add a new project on B1G1, our team reviews the project together with the Worthy Cause, determining which SDGs are most closely aligned with the project’s goals.

When a project is aligned with more than 1 SDG, your impacts will be divided across your SDG widgets. This means that if you contribute 100 impacts to a project that aligns with both No Poverty and Quality Education, each of these widgets will increase by 50 (100÷2). 

Impacts are also rounded down to a whole number in your SDG widgets, this means that if you contribute 1 impact to a project that aligns with No Poverty, Quality Education, each of these widgets will increase by 0 (1÷2 then rounded down).
