FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much of the money goes to the charity?

Everyone Gives is a community-based site supported entirely by volunteers and corporate donations of resources. Everyone Gives does not collect donations. We simply connect givers to causes so 100% of each gift goes to the charity of the participant's choice. When individuals pledge to Everyone Gives and click the "give now" button, they will be directed to an external link run by the recipient charity that actually collects the gift.

Who is behind Everyone Gives?

Like every tree, Everyone Gives started as a tiny seed of an idea – the simple notion that one person can change the world for better not only by giving their own resources to a cause, but also by harnessing the power of their relationships to encourage their friends to give, and their friends' friends, and so on. Colliers International, a leader in global real estate services, is the founding sponsor of this initiative, supporting its startup phase with basic resources and a small group of passionate people. Additional corporate sponsors that accelerate building the Everyone Gives platform and help us include more givers are welcome, and will be acknowledged on our website.

How do I get involved? Do you have more information?

There's always more – we're building Everyone Gives into a rapidly growing, worldwide initiative already in more than 60 countries. By our launch date, we anticipate having thousands, if not tens of thousands, of registered contributors who will plant their own giving trees, share their causes with friends and colleagues, and then see the power of the personal and professional networks unfold as the sharing continues. Sign up on our home page to get project updates as we approach our launch date.

Is Everyone Gives a charity?

No. Everyone Gives is a platform designed to empower a community of givers to support the people and causes they care about. Simply put, we make it easy to give and even easier to share your cause with others, building a giving tree that grows exponentially. Our volunteers build the technology such as this website to connect people and causes, but we do not collect individual donations.

How much should I give?

About $5 – whether that's US dollars, Canadian dollars, Aussie dollars, euros or pounds sterling. It might be 30 yuan, 60 pesos, 150 baht or rubles, 400 yen or 900 Djiboutian francs. Wherever you are, give the price of an everyday indulgence, such as a cup of coffee or a beer. Everyone Gives aims to be the most inclusive giving event ever – asking for small amounts that virtually anyone can afford to contribute. Give what matters to you, then share the opportunity to give to a great cause with the people you care about.
