Buy1GIVE1 – powering a more giving world B1G1 logo small.png

AfricaVolunteer.jpg

B1G1 is not so much a Social Enterprise company – it’s more the start of an extraordinary movement to create a world full of giving.

Through the web, live in front of audiences around the world and through new initiatives locally like the G BOOK, B1G1 brings businesses, individuals and Worthy Causes together in a way and on a scale not attempted before.

The key: transaction-based giving

One of the keys to B1G1’s expanding presence is transaction-based giving, where small amounts from day-to-day transactions are automatically given back to Worthy Causes to make a massive difference – consider buying a plasma TV and a cataract-blind person getting sight as a direct result; consider buying a cup of coffee and a child in Africa getting access to water as a direct result.

Challenge 1

B1G1 has 600 online projects to which business link their transaction-based giving. We want to continue to simplify and add WOW to that online presence so that even more giving gets done.

Challenge 2

We also seek to expand work we’ve started in the B1G1 Global Village where individuals can play a more active part of making giving part of their daily lives through what we call Impact-Based Giving . And that’s one reason why we love being headquartered in Singapore – just two years ago the President set a national goal of Singapore becoming a giving nation - B1G1 provides a mechanism to make that a literal possibility.

Challenge 3

In mid-2009 B1G1 began to scale its operations into the corporate sector creating Certified Giving Companies and more deeply connecting companies with their customers – again the on-going development of web-based tools and widgets plus creative use of the Social Media space are really important here.

Challenge 4

The G Book is a new world-wide initiative being readied for trial in Singapore. It’s a brand new way of connecting leading-edge companies in the retail space with local consumers and Singapore-based Worthy Causes. Here we see opportunities for additional development of Web 2.0 and 3.0 tools integrated within the Social Media space linked particularly to challenges 2 and 3 above.

Design and Being Crazy

B1G1 understands more than most, we think, about the importance of design and simplicity and clarity of processes. And some might see our mission of creating a world full of giving as crazy. And that’s why we like what Steve Jobs of Apple had to say about being crazy: “.... where some people see crazy we see genius: .....because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

System Requirement

We are looking at building a PHP based flexible system to replace our existing websites. We currently use 3 different platforms for different purposes and we would like to create a single site that combine all the necessary system requirements and better public usability. This will require some creative planning and understanding of different programming languages (html, php, java etc). We prefer to work with a dynamic team with mixed strength of back end system programming and front end creativity. The team will be working with our IT supervisor and designer to ensure the best integration.

Below is the list of key requirements.

  • Technical understanding and ability to program PHP-based website and backend system for managing our membership and charity listing/contribution system.
  • Creative thinking to solve some of our current challenges and limitations
  • Basic understanding for Joomla system preferred (we currently use Joomla based website so understanding of our current structure will help efficient transition)
  • Knowledge in creating social networking site functions also preferred
