How Impact Tokens work

Impact Tokens are digital credits that represent your family’s giving power. Each Token (currently one Token is equivalent to US$0.01) equals a part or whole of an impact that creates a real-world difference — like planting a tree or giving a meal. For example, even a few Tokens which cost only a few cents can give access to life-saving resources in B1G1. 

You can:

• Use the starter Tokens in your Family Plus account.
• Purchase Tokens anytime from your dashboard.
• Set an automatic Token top-up as well such as monthly top-up.

When you allocate Tokens to a project, 100% of the funds go directly to that project. Banks and Credit card companies (as normal) take a small percentage. B1G1 takes nothing from your giving.

Your Tokens are given a 2-year expiry date on purchase and it gets extended each time you redeem or purchase Tokens. So, your Tokens will not easily expire, however, if your Tokens ever expire, the remaining Tokens will be allocated to the default project selected by B1G1. 

Each time you redeem your Tokens, you also receive an email indicating what and how many impacts you’re creating using your Tokens. 

You can also add an optional contribution at the checkout of your Impact Token Purchase to allow you to optionally contribute to support the on-going work of B1G1 and B1G1 Giving. We are so grateful to all Members for helping create the eco-system of effective giving in this way.
