FAQ: frequently asked questions

What is Give Us A Dollar?

We are offering you the most unique way to make a difference. Simply give us a dollar by buying a virtual sticker, post the sticker on your social media pages and use #GUAD. The more stickers that we sell by the last day of the round, the higher the percentage donated will be to the receiving organizations.

Why only a dollar?

It only takes a small amount from a lot of humans to make a very big impact. Although this is not a social experiment, we want to demonstrate to ourselves and to everyone that by spending only $1, we can make large donations to many nonprofit organizations for many years to come. 

Who receives the money?

Give Us A Dollar does not affiliate with or donate to political parties, politicians, religious organizations, or other similar organizations. The nonprofit organizations are currently selected based on need, those who have asked us for help, recommendations, etc. We plan to offer a survey to our customers in which they can vote on the next round’s receiving organizations.

Is Give Us A Dollar a nonprofit organization?

No, we are not a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization. We are a registered General Benefit Corporation, or GBC. For more information on what a general benefit corporation is, please visit: https://aaronhall.com/public-benefit-corporations-become-law-in-minnesota/

Where does the other profit go?

Because we are not a 501(c)(3), we are not required to disclose our financials. With that being said, our remaining profits are distributed between employee salaries, marketing, tax liabilities, expansion, and other business-related expenses. Our model is very rare because we believe that we are making an extremely generous gesture by donating a large percentage of our profits. We challenge you to find another company or corporation that has dedicated this large of a percentage of their profits to charitable donations. We are proud of what we are doing!

How long has Give Us A Dollar been in existence?

Give Us A Dollar, GBC was registered in the state of MN in June 2024. Our trademark application has been filed in the United States and has been published for opposition as of February 2025.
