What if you could easily multiply the beautiful impact you have on others? You can!
I’m Dr. Jason Dykstra, the founder of Bless BIG. We exist for that very reason: To make the blessing you offer the world as big as possible! How? By researching and recommending the secular and Christian charities with the highest and most comprehensively proven impact-per-dollar. Greatly multiplying the legacy of your generosity is simple and so satisfying, but only by embracing concepts we don’t often consider.
When my loved ones and I began this journey for ourselves, we didn’t think we even had enough to create significant impact. And being sure enough to know where our giving would make a reliably large difference seemed way too complicated. Worse yet, we had very little objective assurance that our hard-earned donations would leave the enduring life-giving legacy we wanted.
As a physician, I need strong evidence to offer the best outcome to people I’m caring for. Likewise, donors multiply the fruit of what they’ve been given by hundreds when their donations are evidence-based. You are needed and able to make our world even better than you already do. The stakes are way too high for a low ROI.
So for the last several years, we’ve been consulting with philanthropy experts around the world and collaborating with many humanitarian aid communities. Our work has been published in several podcasts and media outlets like the Washington Post, and promoted at multiple global conferences and universities. We’ve spent hundreds of hours consolidating the research of over 20 premier charity evaluators assessing thousands of non-profits.
And the truths we learned are shocking.
1. The impact numbers advertised by many non-profits, even those we attended and trusted most, ended up being misleading.
Donors may think they’re having much more impact than they actually are by the way figures are incompletely presented or duplicated among partnering charities. Simply put, firsthand stats often prove to be unreliable.
But you can trust in the thorough 3rd-party auditing of these non-profits by Bless BIG’s diverse group of independent charity watchdogs, as we combine the strengths of their unique ratings systems. Uncertainty is replaced by scientific and retrospective research confirming very high impact-per-dollar charities. I need objective and across-the-board reliability, so we offer it to you as well.
2. Only a tiny fraction of giving and tithing is spent on the world’s poorest and least-reached people.
Worse, these folks are never aided by the media attention or abundant services so many others receive. Why be a redundant drop in the bucket for those who can already find water? Our recommended charities prioritize the least served. Be a refreshing river in the driest desert where you are needed most, while others continue to be aided by everyone else!
3. The most common places people give typically have the least impact-per-dollar.
Visit the “Our Impact” page to learn the many reasons this is true and how our methodology is structured as a result. It’s frustrating how we get a LOT less for our money when emotional or environmental ties dictate where we give. Instead, grow a new familiarity with getting even more for your money! You’ll feel far better, and so will thousands of others.
Research groups independent of both Bless BIG and our charities indicate that our donors are increasing healthcare, economic development, spiritual growth, and/or equality for over 350,000 people – in just our first two years! Even children have been able to impact hundreds through Bless BIG. Anyone with any donation makes a big proven difference here.
And it’s so easy. In the few clicks it takes to support our top charities, your generosity to global neighbors who need you can become literally hundreds of times more impactful. Just pick a cause and related charity that excites you the most. You’ll be sent to their website to Bless BIG, however you’re able! Our team internally covers all our operating costs, so the non-profit you choose always gets 100% of your gift. We never take a penny from them or you.
When I began my journey to Bless BIG, I had no connection to any of our recommended charities. Now, I’m excited that they receive over 99% of my own giving. ‘Cuz knowing that I’m making such a huge and proven difference brings unimaginable joy and satisfaction. You and I both invest a lot in people. Bless BIG allows my investment to easily and reliably bring life and laughter to the most people possible. And it’s here to do the same for you, right now.
So click a cause, choose a charity, and give where you’ll meet the greatest needs with the greatest impact. It only takes a minute to Bless BIG! Both I and the world thank you.

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.
HOMELESSNESS & DISPLACEMENT, ADDICTION
