MenuCarry a mark customers understand
A clear commitment to eligible local giving, with the status behind the mark available to inspect.
See the proof behind the promise.
One Percent Local turns a company’s commitment into a public record: what was given, who checked it, and which local organisations benefited.
1% Local never collects or distributes giving. Support goes directly to recipients.

Every business depends on a place.
The people it employs. The communities around it. The environment its customers enjoy. The infrastructure, culture and opportunities that allow it to operate.
If you make money somewhere, some of it should stay there.
Small enough to build into the business. Meaningful enough to add up.

Questions
businesses ask.
We already give locally. Can that count?
Existing giving can count when it meets the applicable eligibility and recipient-confirmation rules.
Does our 1% go through 1% Local?
No. Giving goes directly to recipients. One Percent Local never collects or distributes giving.
Is it 1% of revenue or profit?
The commitment is based on revenue, not profit.
What types of giving count?
Cash, in-kind and volunteer contributions follow their applicable eligibility and confirmation rules.
When can we display the mark?
Use only the approved mark for your current membership and certification status.
When are we certified?
After an independent annual revenue and calculated-target review for the stated fiscal year. A commitment alone is not certification.
What if the organisation is not listed?
If an organisation is not listed, invite it to join.
