These include the following:1.We carefully and thoroughly vet each charitable organization that applies for inclusion in our program, reviewing their finances, their Annual Reports, the reputations of their Board members and senior staff, how efficiently they operate, and other matters.2.As part of our assessment process, we will only consider for inclusion those initiatives and charities that have already been in operation for at least three years, with a good track record of successful and efficient operation.3.As part of our financial review, we require each applicant charity to submit audited accounts to us. Alternatively, if an audit is not feasible (which is sometimes the case for smaller charities), we will require the financial information they submit to meet a specified standard and to be signed by the organizations directors, before it is submitted for review by our own Board members (several of whom have professional accounting credentials).4.We check all applicant organizations and their senior leaders against the applicable US Sanctions/Restricted Nationals Lists, and require written confirmation of their compliance with these US requirements.5.Following the initial approval of a charity as part of our program, we solicit regular (at least quarterly) updates on their program activities, so that we can confirm they are providing the program beneficiaries with the intended benefits.6.When we have collected sufficient funds for transmittal to the approved charity, we send a detailed breakdown of the remitted funds, as well as the specific purposes associated with the funds. Thus, if a charity is receiving funds for three different projects, it will receive a remittance note that specifies which funds are to be directed to which projects. The charity must sign this remittance acknowledgement and return it to us. If the remittance is not properly acknowledged and the spending properly confirmed, we will not make a further remittance to the charity.7.We conduct an Annual Review of each approved charity, using a checklist and assessment process that is similar to our initial review process. Thus, we will again examine their financial statements and Annual Reports, will carefully review their website and social media postings, will reconfirm their compliance with all of our procedures and with the US Sanctions/Restricted Nationals Lists, will search for any evidence of complaints or concerns involving the organization or its senior leaders, and so on. The Board of B1G1 Giving participates in each of these Annual Reviews, and either approves the charity for continued participation in the program or votes to remove it from participation. As part of the Annual Review, the charity must again confirm that it has properly directed the funds it has received to the intended programmatic uses, and that it has been and will remain in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of our program.8.We are able to visit a small number of our charities from time to time. However, the sheer number of charities (currently, 89) and the fact that they are located in a multitude of countries around the globe, make regular on-site visits infeasible. We do conduct video calls with the charities on an ongoing basis to get reports on their initiatives. true DIRECT RELIEF PO BOX 271767 FORT COLLINS CO 80527 24145 0 DISASTER SUPPORT HEALTH AND HARMONY 12 BENSONHURST AVE SARATOGA SPRING NY 12866 7979 0 HEALTH SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL RELIEF TEAMS 16192 COASTAL HIGHWAY LEWES DE 19958 19522 0 DISASTER SUPPORT KUPONA FOUNDATION PO BOX 96176 PORTLAND OR 97296 12777 0 HEALTH SUPPORT ONE FOR THE WORLD 25 BROADWAY 12 FLOOR NEW YORK NY 10004 5178 0 HEALTH SUPPORT RESCUING LEFTOVER CUISINE 16192 COASTAL HIGHWAY LEWES DE 19958 9552 0 FOOD SUPPORT TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION 633 REMINGTON STREET FORT COLLINS CO 80524 22352 0 HEALTH SUPPORT TREE WATER AND PEOPLE 880 3RD AVENUE FLOOR 12 NEW YORK NY 10022 29191 0 HEALTH SUPPORT WATER FOR PEOPLE 7100 E BELLEVIEW AVE STE 310 GREENWOOD CO 80111 6102 0 HEALTH SUPPORT 9 0 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used 1.We carefully and thoroughly vet each charitable organization that applies for inclusion in our program, reviewing their finances, their Annual Reports, the reputations of their Board members and senior staff, how efficiently they operate, and other matters.2.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Masami Sato and Jeffrey Teo are both employees of Buy1GIVE1 Pte Ltd. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3 B1G1 Giving, Inc. has a close relationship with Buy1GIVE1 Pte. Ltd, a Social Enterprise established in 2007 in Singapore. The Buy1GIVE1 Social Enterprise supports and inspires businesses around the world to promote giving that helps charitable organizations in 48 different countries accomplish their goals and serve their beneficiaries. Certain employees of the Social Enterprise supported B1G1 Giving, Inc. by donating a portion of their time to various operational and recordkeeping functions the charity requires in order to fulfill its mission. The Social Enterprise also supports B1G1 Giving, Inc. by donating to its funds sufficient to pay certain of its costs, such as legal and auditing fees, regulatory filing fees, and a portion of bank charges as needed. As a result of this arrangement, B1G1 Giving, Inc. is able to transfer to these charitable organizations all of the contribution amounts it receives, less credit card and bank processing fees (Currently 4%). Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The organization used a 3-step process to review this Form 990:Step 1: A draft of the Form 990 was prepared by Nigro & Nigro, the organization's accounting firm, working with the organization's Treasurer, who is herself a CPA, and its Secretary. This included a review of data available in our systems to identify various reportable details, such as the identification of organizations donating more than $5,000, the identification of grant recipients receiving more than $5,000, and other matters.Step 2: The draft of the Form 990 and all accompanying schedules were then reviewed by the organization's President, Treasurer, and other Board members who are intimately familiar with the operation of the organization. This review was followed by discussion of questions and comments by these individuals with the Treasurer and Secretary.Step 3: The completed Form 990 and all accompanying schedules were then submitted to the Board of B1G1 Giving, Inc. in May 2024, and were unanimously approved by the Board for submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c In connection with the organization's Annual General Meeting, which took place on May 11, 2021, we re-distributed to all Officers and Directors of the company a copy of the B1G1 Giving, Inc.

The Annex further confirms that the recipient has received, read and understood the Policy, and has agreed to comply with its terms. Each Officer and Director completed and signed this Annex form, and returned it to the Secretary of the organization.
