About the Give Fifty Pledge

The Give Fifty Pledge inspires small- to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to pledge 50% of their monthly, weekly, daily, or even hourly profits to charitable causes. This pledge is about redefining the concepts of charity, generosity, and philanthropy and revolutionizing corporate social responsibility (CSR) by initiating a paradigm shift in corporate giving.

Lauren Von, the CEO and founder of Quintessa Marketing, initiated the Give Fifty Pledge after witnessing the positive impact of donating 50% of her company’s profits to charity. This campaign is not just about fostering a community but about creating a united front committed to maximizing the impact of corporate philanthropy. It promotes the early establishment of giving plans and encourages more innovative ways of giving back. Take the Give Fifty Pledge and join our transformative community!

FAQ

Curious about the Pledge, how it works, and the benefits of joining our community? You’ve come to the right place.

The Give Fifty Pledge is a commitment from a business to donate 50% of their profits from a set period to charitable causes. This can be a year, a month, a day — even an hour’s pledge allows a business to make a difference.

The Give Fifty Pledge is not a charity. We’re not a political or religious organization and we don’t accept donations. Instead, we encourage business owners to donate to local charities and watch what happens in both their communities and their businesses.

Any business is welcome! The Give Fifty Pledge is perfect for small- and medium-sized businesses, but companies of any size or age can participate.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), sometimes called corporate citizenship, is a framework companies can use to monitor how they operate. If you’d like your business to make money and a positive impact, the Give Fifty Pledge is an excellent way to begin your CSR efforts.

It’s easy! If you own or are the decision maker for a business, you can take the pledge by filling out the verification form on the Give Fifty website. Once verified, you’ll receive a digital badge. As the movement grows, we’ll start featuring people and companies who’ve taken the pledge on our site as well.

And if you’re an independent contractor, content creator, freelancer, etc., you can still take the pledge!

Participants receive a badge for their website or social media, a profile link on the Give Fifty site, and access to advice and insights to encourage others to join the movement.

But more importantly, giving with an open heart allows you to see your values in action. There are wealthy people who are making plans to donate large portions of their resources when they pass, but by giving now you get to see how your generosity makes a difference. And we’ve noticed that when you give to your community, your community tends to give back.

Ultimately, only you can decide if the Give Fifty Pledge is right for your company. 50% of profits can sound daunting, but remember, you decide the length of time you’re committed to.

You may want to expand your commitment down the road when you see how the pledge supports your community, inspires positive change, and enhances your company’s reputation.

Give Fifty isn’t a religious organization. Give Fifty isn’t a political stance. Give Fifty is a challenge and an opportunity open to any business that wants to make a difference.
