@ShareSuccess For us, ie She and Me, we favour Food Bank which picks up unsold food from supermarkets and distributes to the less fortunate amongst us.
Once this food would have gone to landfill, but now thanks to the foresight of others, it is put to good use.
We go to bed every night knowing that we have had 3 good meals during the day and the necessary snacks also.
By the grace of God we could have been the ones sitting on the other side of the ledger.

9-Year-old Australian follows in his sister’s altruistic footsteps to combat poverty​

by TLYCS Admin | 21 Jun 2020

In December, we shared the heartwarming story of 11-year-old Jade in Northern Territory, Australia, who made an art canvas for a school project in order to raise money for one of The Life You Can Save’s recommended charities, Against Malaria Foundation.

There appears to be an abundance of altruistic genes in Jade’s household, because her 9 year-old brother Nate recently undertook his own school project, in year 4 at Good Shepherd Lutheran College, to help achieve the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goal #1: No Poverty.

Nate sent a video to family and friends asking them to buy pretend bags of seeds at a cost A$2 each, explaining that he would donate the money he raised to One Acre Fund in order to help people grow crops so they could feed themselves and others and also sell their crops. With an initial goal of raising $A100, Nate was excited to see donations add up to A$196 in 24 hours! He then put in A$4 of his own money to bring the total to an impressive A$200.


For presentation of his project at school, Nate created a facts board and delivered this speech:

The United Nations have 17 goals to achieve by 2030. The goal I have chosen is no poverty. What is poverty? Did you know that currently 700 million people live in poverty by 2030 we want to reduce this number so everyone needs to help do this. If we don’t help to do this the people living in poverty and others will continue to live in poverty which means they have limited food and water, they can’t access good education or health care. They cannot afford a decent home. I have chosen seeds as a natural resource. Seeds can be grown to provide crops such as barley, wheat, corn, maize and potatoes. If people can grow crops they can feed themselves and others. They can also sell their crops to get money. Money can help them get good houses, healthcare and education. These things can break the cycle of poverty. So what can we do to help….. I decided I would help by raising money that could pay for seeds and farm equipment so that people in poverty can grow crops. I asked family and friends through a video to buy bags of seeds for $2 each. Letting them know I would send the money raised to a charity who would buy seeds and equipment. I was aiming to raise $100, I was so surprised when I raised $196 in 24 hours. I decided to add $4 of my money to round it up to $200. My mum then sent the money to a charity called One Acre’ Fund through an organization called The Life You Can Save. This money will help towards beating poverty but we still need to do more. I will continue to encourage others to not forget those living in poverty. We can all do something to help. We also need the governments around the world to support the UN in achieving the goals.

Thanks, Nate, for being such a great representative of the latest generation of effective givers!

“Profit for Good” and the power of consumer choices to save lives: How “The Life You Can Save” Inspired the Birth of the Profit for Good Initiative​

by TLYCS Admin | 15 Feb 2024

---

In this Supporter Story, we hear from Brad West, Founder of the Profit for Good Initiative, which promotes “Profit for Good” companies that donate the vast majority of their profits (90% or more) to effective charities. Brad is a long-time The Life You Can Save supporter who has generously connected us with a number of companies seeking to do the most good. In the post below, Brad shares how reading Peter Singer’s The Life You Can Save inspired him to develop and promote his Profit for Good business model.

My name is Bradley West, and I believe in the power of consumer choices to drive social change.

I am thrilled to share the journey that led me to establish the Profit for Good Initiative (PFGI) and the transformative concept of “Profit for Good” businesses.

I founded the PFGI because I wanted to harness the power of consumers, employees, and other economic actors to create positive change and alleviate suffering on a global scale. My inspiration? The groundbreaking book by Peter Singer, The Life You Can Save.

Peter Singer’s book opened my eyes to the stark realities of extreme poverty and the incredible impact even a modest contribution can have on saving lives. His compelling call for individuals to take action and donate to effective charities ignited a spark within me. But what struck me even more deeply was the potential for businesses to play a transformative role in addressing these challenges.

Motivated by Singer’s teachings, I embarked on a journey to create an organization dedicated to transforming ethical consumption into a powerful tool for change. Thus, the Profit for Good Initiative (PFGI) was born.

At PFGI, our mission is to revolutionize the corporate landscape by reimagining the role of businesses in alleviating suffering and extreme poverty. Imagine if a significant portion of the world’s 8-10 trillion dollars in global net profits were channeled to where they could have the most impact.

This is the vision we are striving to bring to life. At the heart of PFGI lies the concept of “Profit for Good” companies, or businesses where effective charities hold a vast majority of stockholder shares (90%+). When a consumer buys from a Profit for Good company, all, or almost all the profit generated from that exchange goes directly to the effective charities that own a stake in that company. And better yet, consumers support effective charities simply by purchasing the products and services they need, without having to make extra financial sacrifices. In a Profit for Good economy, every transaction has the power to create a more just and compassionate world.

Reading Peter Singer’s The Life You Can Save started me on my journey into the world of effective giving. It inspired me to rethink business models and how consumers and philanthropists could collaborate to more rapidly reach a world without extreme poverty or factory farming. It gave me a newfound hope in the potential for widespread change. I now work tirelessly to help create a world where everyday purchases contribute not only to the growth of businesses but also to life-saving initiatives because I believe that when we unite our buying power, we create a force that can transform lives, one purchase at a time.

If you are interested in learning more about the Profit for Good model I encourage you to explore the Profit for Good Initiative and discover the “profit for good” businesses that are already making a difference.

You can also watch my recent TEDx Talk on Profit for Good here.
With gratitude,
Bradley West

Peter Singer wins $1 million and donates proceeds​

by Charles Bresler | 7 Sep 2021

---

In the last newsletter, I spoke about being “down” a bit in the face of the pandemic and multiple world events, including the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC report. But now we all have something to be super, super excited about. My colleague, friend, inspiration, and founder of The Life You Can Save, Peter Singer, has received the 2021 Berggruen Prize in honor of a lifetime of achievements. Even more: in keeping with his principles, he has chosen to donate his entire US$1 million award to charity.

Peter is not just a brilliant thinker. He leads by example. And I hope he inspires us all to follow his lead!

Here’s what Peter had to say in the press release announcing the award:

“I am delighted that my work has been recognised by the jury that awards the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy & Culture, granted annually to individuals ‘for major achievements in advancing ideas that shape the world.’ Along with the honour, the Prize bestows a gift of US$1,000,000 to the winner. I have donated half of the prize to The Life You Can Save to continue promoting the most effective charities benefiting the world’s poorest people.

A substantial portion I donated to organisations working to end animal suffering, particularly in factory farming. Industrialized animal production causes untold misery to tens of billions of land animals every year, and to hundreds of billions of fish. It is also a disaster for our climate, and provides an ideal breeding ground for viruses that could cause future pandemics.

Finally, but importantly, I also will engage the many supporters of The Life You Can Save in allocating the remaining prize money to effective charities recommended by The Life You Can Save.”

When Peter first told us about the award and his plans for the prize money, my wife Diana and I talked a lot about Peter’s generous decision to support causes he believes in — such ending extreme poverty and factory farming — rather than keep the money for himself and his family. After all, Peter is a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. He must have felt some desire to support his family. But Peter clearly decided that, with himself and his daughters already well established, it was important to donate his prize to the communities and causes it could benefit the most.

Peter’s profound generosity now has Diana and I once again rethinking how we allocate our money and where we might give more generously and more effectively. And I think it lays down a renewed challenge to all of us: How can we support his generous efforts with our own?

The power of Five Bucks: founder Brianna Kerr on ‘going small to go big’​

Dee Rudebeck, Advisor, News and Storytelling Fri, 27 Jun 2025

Five Bucks – a giving community where members chip in $5 a week – is all about how small change can have a big impact. Giving News talks with the founder of this collective giving initiative as the community distributes its first $62,000. In this Q&A, Brianna Kerr (pictured) shares fascinating insights on the democratisation of giving in action – and what’s in store for year two.

1. What is the Five Bucks community and how does it work?

It’s all in the name! Members or ‘Buckaroos’ give $5 a week to fund organisations that support people and protect the planet. We pool the fivers and grant out the entire fund once a year.

Our giving pillars are inspired by ‘Doughnut Economics’, a model developed by Kate Raworth. In its basic form, it’s the idea that a just and sustainable world must meet everyone’s social needs while also staying within the ecological limits of our planet. It reflects the kind of world our members want to help build.

2. What type of people are becoming Buckaroos?

The community is evolving as we grow. Our earliest adopters were under 30, folks who saw Five Bucks as an accessible way to ‘chip in’ to support causes they care about. But the demographics are more divergent now because there is a broad appeal to the simplicity of the idea. Anyone is welcome to become a Buckaroo.

One common theme is that our members are the type of people who care about lots of things. They’re worried about climate, but they’re also worried about mental health, the state of First Nations rights, equitable access to education. They want to show up for and engage with all of these issues and they understand their intersectionality.

‘Amazing community’: Buckaroos react to the announcement of their first-ever grant recipients at an event in Sydney earlier in June.
3. How has year one gone and what will be your focus in Five Bucks’ second year?

It has been a lot of fun. Most of our members are finding us through word-of-mouth, so there has been a lot of nice organic referral and from that, a genuine community beginning to form. We gave $62K away in our first year (4 x $15K grants to the organisations who received the most votes and 4 x $500 grants to those that were shortlisted but unsuccessful). We’re already on track to have at least $100,000 to grant this time next year.

Five Bucks is attempting to do low-value, high-volume giving at scale but like many early-stage collective giving initiatives, we’re volunteer-run with no operational funding, so we have to be creative about growth. Our greatest asset is the amazing community, made up of more than 500 Buckaroos from across Australia, so our second year will be about how we grow in a way that is sustainable, focusing on engaging our existing members to help us find new ones.

Brianna Kerr outlines to Buckaroos at the Melbourne event how the shortlisting process prior to collective voting was done with Meg Reckford (centre), part of the ecological grant committee, and Tenille Gilbert, who was in the social impact committee.

4. What sparked the idea of Five Bucks?

I’ve worked in the impact sector for my entire career and I’ve always been interested in how we can use capital to do good. I’ve also been frustrated by the myths and cynicism out there towards charities and administration. But what really sparked Five Bucks was learning about the steady decline in the number of Australians choosing to give and then reading that we give less overall than countries like the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand. Both things I learned through Philanthropy Australia reports.

In June 2024, I did a survey of ~200 people to better understand their attitudes towards giving. A strong theme that came through was futility – the idea that if you can only give a little bit, what’s the point? One response really stuck with me: “I feel like what I can give is a drop in the ocean.” I wanted to show people that by chipping in a little bit – but with lots of other people – small change can have a big impact. I like the idea of ‘going small to go big’.

The survey revealed that there was an appetite and capacity to give – but it was a question of how much. I wish I could say it was more profound, but I was sitting there one day grappling with this and thought, ‘I wonder if I could just get people to start chipping in $5 a week’. I thought creating regular giving behaviour – no matter the amount – was a good place to start to shift the culture.

‘I wanted to show people that by chipping in a little bit, but with lots of others, small change can have a big impact’, said Brianna.
5. Where is the fund held?

Five Bucks is a sub-fund at Australian Communities Foundation (ACF). They were a natural partner – excited about the idea because they were interested in backing innovative approaches to collective giving. They’re a great support and we wouldn’t have gotten through year one without them. Transparency about the fund is really important for members. At some of our events, we open up our ACF portal, pretty much our ‘bank account’, and show the audience what’s in there.

‘Collective giving makes so much sense in a country like ours. Aussies like chipping in and doing things together.’
6. There is some deep philanthropic thinking behind your model and progressive practices such as a trust-based approach. How have you communicated what can be philanthropic jargon to a mainstream audience?

There is deep thinking, but the magic is that people may not be aware of that when they first engage. From what we know, most are drawn to the simplicity of the idea and then once a Buckaroo, we get to share more and educate them about the model.

We generally avoid using language that might alienate people, even the word philanthropy. The language we use is ‘showing up’, ‘chipping in’, ‘playing your part’ – people can engage with that.

We took the onus of the due diligence work, researching charities and then inviting 20 to apply via a simplified application consisting of seven questions and 200-word answers. We explain the shortlisting and granting process to Buckaroos at our events and there is always a lot of interest in how it works.

A good example of introducing our members to a new idea was our $500 donations to unsuccessful organisations to compensate them for the time it took to apply. Most members had never heard of this being done, but when we made the announcement, so many of the email replies coming back were about how proud it made them that we did that.

Making the language of what the sector considers best practices – like Pay What It Takes, acknowledging the application burden, limiting donor dysfunction etc – relatable in the mainstream and accessible to everyday people is really important. And that education piece is going to be a big part of Five Bucks moving forward.

Five Bucks events have a fun, community feel. In the closest postcard pegged at the Sydney event, Briannia is seen meeting Sara Lomelin, CEO of Philanthropy Together, online after she learned about Five Bucks at the 2024 Philanthropy Australia.
7. What is your big dream for Five Bucks?

Collective giving makes so much sense in a country like ours. While it can be hard to pin down our national identity, it’s fair to say: Aussies like chipping in. We like doing things together.

My big dream for Five Bucks is that we become one of the biggest giving communities in Australia. I hope we can inspire others to think differently about philanthropy – to see that sometimes, going small is how you go big.

There are real power dynamics in philanthropy and initiatives like Five Bucks have the potential to shift that, to return connection and agency to the communities we care about.

Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP was an early supporter of Five Bucks, and like him, I believe in the potential of collective giving to bring people together, to build social cohesion. To show us we’re all part of a bigger whole.

Outside of Five Bucks, Brianna holds part-time positions at UNSW’s Centre for Social Impact, Monash Business School, Pale Blue and She Gives.

Brianna is part of Philanthropy Australia’s Collective Giving Advisory Committee, helping to guide and support the development of a national collective giving research project and strategy.

Five Bucks members voted last week to distribute four $15,000 grants to the following NFPs: Eat Up, Seed Mob, The Westerman Jilya Institute for Indigenous Mental Health and Environmental Justice Australia. To learn more about the Buckaroos, visit the Five Bucks website.

Not dissing your thread at all here @ShareSuccess , giving is an important thing and should be encouraged and commend you highlighting the above organisation, but perhaps the lack of response here *could be because:

2"Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret... etc

Thusly, many give not for kudos, but "with a glad heart".

But nothing wrong at all with highlighting great organisations

THE LIFE YOU CAN SAVE How to Do Your Part to End World Poverty PETER SINGER

THE ARGUMENT...Saving a Child...Is It Wrong Not to Help?...Common Objections to Giving

On your way to work, you pass a small pond. On hot days,children sometimes play in the pond, which is only about knee-deep. The weather’s cool today, though, and the hour is early, so you are surprised to see a child splashing about in the pond. As you get closer, you see that it is a very young child, just a toddler, who is flailing about, unable to stay upright or walk out of the pond. You look for the parents or babysitter, but there is no one else around. The child is unable to keep her head above the water for more than a few seconds at a time. If you don’t wade in and pull her out, she seems likely to drown. Wading in is easy and safe, but you will ruin the new shoes you bought only a few days ago, and get your suit wet and muddy. By the time you hand the child over to someone responsible for her, and change your clothes, you’ll be late for work. What should you do?

I teach a course called Practical Ethics. When we start talking about global poverty, I ask my students what they think a person should do in this situation. Predictably, they respond that you should save the child. “What about your shoes? And being late for work?” I ask them. They brush that aside. How could anyone consider a pair of shoes, or missing an hour or two at work, a good reason for not saving a child’s life?

I first told the story of the drowning child in the shallow pond in “Famine, Affluence and Morality,” one of my first articles,originally published in 1972, but still widely used in courses in ethics. In 2011, something resembling this hypothetical situation occurred in Foshan, a city in southern China.

A 2-year-old girl named Wang Yue wandered away from her mother and into a small street, where she was hit by a van that did not stop. ACCTV camera captured the incident. But what followed was even more shocking. As Wang Yue lay bleeding in the street, 18 people walked or rode their bikes right past her, without stopping to help.In most cases, the camera showed clearly that they saw her, but then averted their gaze as they passed by.

A second van ran over her leg before a street cleaner raised the alarm. Wang Yue was rushed to hospital, but sadly, it was too late. She died.1 If you’re like most people, you are probably saying to yourself right now: “I wouldn’t have walked past that child. I would have stopped to help.” Perhaps you would have; but remember that, as we have already seen, 5.4 million children under 5 years old died in 2017, with a majority of those deaths being from preventable or treatable causes. Here is just one case, described by a man in Ghana to a researcher from the World Bank.

Take the death of this small boy this morning, for example.The boy died of measles. We all know he could have been cured at the hospital. But the parents had no money and so the boy died a slow and painful death, not of measles but out of poverty.
Think about something like that happening hundreds of times every day.

Some children die because they don’t have enough to eat. More die from measles, malaria and diarrhea—conditions Saving a Child 5 that either don’t exist in developed nations or, if they do, a rea lmost never fatal. The children are vulnerable to these diseases because they have no safe drinking water or no sanitation, and because when they do fall ill, their parents can’t afford any medical treatment or may not even be aware that treatment is needed.

Oxfam, Against Malaria Foundation, Evidence Action,and many other organizations are working to reduce poverty, or provide mosquito nets or safe drinking water. These efforts are reducing the toll. If these organizations had more money, they could do even more, and more lives would be saved.

Now think about your own situation. By donating a relatively small amount of money, you could save a child’s life. Maybe it would take more than the amount needed to buy a pair of shoes,but we all spend money on things we don’t really need, whether on drinks, meals out, clothing, movies, concerts, vacations, new cars, or house renovations. Is it possible that by choosing to spend your money on such things rather than contributing to an effective charity, you are leaving a child to die, a child you could have saved?
