Our Impact

Thanks for your desire to bless others! At Bless BIG, it’s easy for anyone to make a BIG, proven, difference – via exciting Impact Trips or simply by giving. But how? In relatively well-off communities like the US, the problems money is good at solving have largely been solved. We no longer see them, so we don’t develop personal or emotional inclinations to think about them or give to them. But since there’s still excess money and a desire to do good, almost all donations are given instead where money has always provided the least successful, least reliable, and least enduring solutions. We all know that the billions and billions spent on highly-publicized, sociopolitical, incredibly complex, or chronically entrenched problems have – at best – made very little progress, usually for very short periods of time. For no other reason than circumstance, we see and thus care about what money is terrible at fixing.

It’s the perfect storm. 94% of US donations stay in the US. Less than 0.1% of impoverished people live in the US. It costs over 2000 times as much to save a life in the US as it does in the poorest nations. Your generosity is being wasted, and millions of oppressed women, defeated men, and hopeless children pay the (often ultimate) price. But it’s really easy to fix! Bless BIG simply helps you develop new inclinations toward much more cost-effective populations and charities, to allow your generosity to fix the needs you care about far more fruitfully! As above, almost everyone else will maintain the status quo, so you and your giving are free to fly! We’ve spent hundreds of hours of research to bring you the most evidence-based and impactful secular and Christian charities. For giving to be truly altruistic, a recipient receiving the most good is valued above the donor feeling the most good. Since our Top Recommendations and Honorable Mentions outperform thousands of other non-profits, they help you feel the most good by doing the most good! Here’s why they’ll maximize your impact through Bless BIG…

Which causes were you created to bless big?

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION & CLIMATE CHANGE

How to make the biggest impact here!
   The solutions for this cause group are inherently complex and costly. Even our best of the best organizations here have depressed ratings or impact evidence relative to other cause groups, especially given the need for global collaboration on this particular issue.
Fortunately, such needs can often be effectively impacted by your time and advocacy, while needs more isolated to foreign populations cannot.
Therefore, feel free to give to our recommended charities here; they’re good, and the causes are important! But we suggest an alternative to help you make the biggest difference…
Donate your money primarily to a more reliably cost-effective cause, but donate your time (especially working/volunteering as a mentor, researcher, or advocate) to help our planet and all its inhabitants thrive, wherever your personal influence can reach.
