Community Support

We Support Buy1GIVE1

In January 2011, the National College of Business became a Business Member of Buy1GIVE1, an initiative transforming charitable giving from being ad-hoc or one-off to a continuous and automated process.

"Imagine how great you’d feel if every time you sold something, something GREAT happened. B1G1 exists to make it possible — to give your business the power to change lives. Simply, effectively, efficiently and most importantly, habitually."

From 2011, every time a new Friend is welcomed into the NCB - that's every time a new participant starts in a program at the College - a B1G1 community project is funded. This happens automatically, and does not affect the investment of our Friend, whatsoever (unless you count the fact that by investing in their education and future they have inspired and enabled us to invest in the future of underprivelaged communities worldwide).

In the first 2 months of being a B1G1 Business Member we have directly:

• Given 13,140 people access to clean water for a day
• Given 3,200 people internet or phone connection for a day
• Given 2,521 children education support for a day
• Given 200 people in need a nourishing meal
• Given 120 children in need a meal at school
• Given 110 people in need transportation for a day
• Given 100 children a special life education program
• Given 100 school teachers a full days wage
• Planted 80 trees to nurture the environment
• Given 42 people occupational training for a day
• Given 12 people in need accommodation for a day
• Given 1 family a goat to provide sustainable income

Because we are a hub for business and therefore are connected to thousands of other Australian businesses, we have also been able to introduce the concept of B1G1 to more businesses who are looking to make a difference to the world.

• Giving 367,068 children education support for a day
