About GiveCheck

Founders want to give back. The intention is there. But there is no systematic, verified way for startups and solopreneurs to prove they are donating a meaningful percentage of revenue to charity.

The existing options were built for a different era and a different scale:

• 1% for the Planet requires annual dues and is largely self-reported. There is no real-time verification.
• Pledge 1% is a pledge — not a proof. Companies sign up, but nobody checks if they follow through.
• B Corp Certification is expensive, time-consuming, and designed for large organizations with dedicated compliance teams.

None of these options work for a bootstrapped founder doing $5K/mo who wants to donate 10% and prove it. The bar is either too high, too expensive, or entirely based on the honor system.

GiveCheck connects directly to the systems that matter: your Stripe account for revenue and Every.org for donations. No self-reporting. No PDFs. No honor system. Everything is verified through API, every month, automatically.

The result is a public giving leaderboard where companies are ranked by the percentage of revenue they donate — not the dollar amount. A bootstrapper giving 15% of $3K/mo outranks a funded startup giving 2% of $500K/mo. It is the great equalizer.

Verified companies earn a dynamic badge widget they embed on their website. The badge updates in real-time. If you stop giving, the badge grays out. No faking it.

The status game shifts from who earns the most to who gives the most.
