Our impact: giving through B1G1

M.A. Whately is a member of B1G1 (Buy1GIVE1), a giving programme that links everyday business activity to projects for people in need. Each new client, each referral and each client's birthday funds a gift of clean water, education or food.

Our promise

Three moments, three gifts

Every business has the power to change lives by building giving into its everyday work. These are the moments that trigger ours.

  • Every new client

    1 week

    of clean drinking water for a family in need

  • Every client's birthday

    5 days

    of education for a child, given on your behalf

  • Every referral

    1 week

    of food for a child in need, given on your behalf

Want to add to the total? Every referral you send us feeds a child in need for a week.

What is B1G1?

B1G1, short for Buy1GIVE1, runs a giving movement called Business for Good. Member businesses link giving to moments that happen every day in their work, such as a sale, an invoice or a new client, and choose which projects that giving supports. B1G1 lists more than 450 vetted projects, from children's education to clean water and forest protection, and says thousands of businesses in more than 40 countries take part.

Members pay B1G1 a yearly membership fee, which funds the running of the platform and its work with the projects. B1G1 states that 100% of members' contributions go to the projects they choose.

What has M.A. Whately given so far?

In its March 2022 update, the firm reported two gifts made on behalf of its clients: a year of primary school education for a child in Zimbabwe, through the Vana Trust, which pays children's tuition fees there; and 3,650 days of clean drinking water for people in Tigray, Ethiopia, where clean water reduces disease and the hours women and girls spend collecting it.
