Giving Back - Like One Stop Shopping

Stephen Paletta, a real estate developer from NY, had a life changing experience on a trip to Rwanda in 2004.  "The images and the people I got to know would not allow me to just go back to work and worry about making my own money,” he said. As a result he and his family financially and emotionally adopted ten African children. Then he went on to win Oprah’s Big Give, a television show that aired in 2008. After being selected the biggest giver, Stephen was awarded $1,000,000 to give back to the causes he wanted to support.

Instead of giving away Oprah's big prize, Steve had a business idea which would take that money a lot further. He conceived GiveBack.org with the idea of empowering people to easily start their own foundations with the additional benefit that each foundation would have a multitude of opportunities to earn money to give away to charities.

Setting up your own foundation can costs thousands of dollars, lots of time and headaches. GiveBack.org takes all the hassles out of the process. It is easy to sign up, easy to give and easy to keep track of your donations  -with only one tax receipt to worry about at the end of the year. Donations can be made with credit cards, you can give to any charity registered with the IRS and 100% of your donation goes directly to the organization. GiveBack.org does not take a cut of any donation. In fact the whole process is free!


The most enticing piece of the GiveBack story is the ability to earn more money for your foundation. GiveBack.org has formed merchant partnerships with the best in the business: Barnes & Noble, Nike,Circuit City, hotel.com and others whereby each time a GiveBack.org member shops on their site, up to 15% of each purchase goes into their own foundation, giving the foundations more to give.Check out the shops! Participate and a get chance to earn more for your foundation.



This is one stop giving with one tax receipt for all your donations!! It’s clear why Oprah chose Stephen as the biggest giver.
