💰+💰= How to double your impact this Giving Tuesday

About the match: The Life You Can Save has partnered with GiveDirectly to deliver your donations directly to families in Bikereri – a remote village of 950 people, one of the poorest in its district near the northern border of Rwanda. GiveDirectly’s program will empower every eligible household in Bikereri by providing them with a $1,100 unconditional cash transfer.

Not sure about giving cash? Our Co-founder, Charlie Bresler, recently sat down with Michael Faye on the Musings Podcast to talk about the ripple effects of financial stability in small communities, the notion of UBI (Universal Basic Income), the cultural challenges of convincing potential donors to give directly, and the logistical challenges of getting cash into the hands of recipients. 🎙️Listen to Musings with Michael Faye >

Giving cash works because it grants families the agency to meet their individual needs when planning for the future.

How does the match work? Every donation up to $100,000, given through the landing page linked below, will be doubled and delivered directly to residents in Bikereri.

About the match: We have partnered with online event ticketing platform, Humanitix, to raise funds for our Education For All Fund. Humanitix directs 100% of profits from booking fees to a range of education programs, and this #GivingTuesday they are matching the first $25,000 in donations to our Education For All Fund. Beneficiaries of this fund include Educate Girls and Teaching at the Right Level Africa.

More opportunities to multiply your impact:

Double Up Drive: Double Up Drive believes that public giving influences greater generosity and that resulting donations carry more impact. They raise money and awareness for charities that are proven to have a significant positive impact by hosting matching drives that collect up-front pledges from large donors, to provide 1:1 matches for smaller contributors. This year, four of our nonprofits are on the list: Against Malaria Foundation, Clean Air Task Force, Evidence Action and New Incentives.
Fistula Foundation: Unite with Fistula Foundation to support life-transforming surgeries for women in Tanzania. All gifts will be matched—up to $150,000—through November 28.

Gitcoin Grants: We have $25,000 in matching funds available to support a campaign run in collaboration with Gitcoin Grants. You can help unlock the matched donations by donating ETH or DAI cryptocurrencies to any of our six cause funds. US donors who would like to receive a tax-receipt for their donation should email omar@freewillimpact.org prior to giving, stating the size of their donation and the wallet address it will be coming from.

Do good. Feel good.
