How to Overcome Choice Overload When Giving to Charity

When you’re searching for the best charity to give to, it can feel overwhelming. With thousands of charities across New Zealand, how do you know which one will make the biggest difference? Having so many options can leave you stuck, unsure where to start or how to make an impact.

One Percent Collective makes giving easier. Our platform removes the stress of choosing and ensures your donations make a real difference – without the confusion.

Why Too Many Choices Can Hold You Back

Giving to charity has never been simpler, but the endless options can make it harder to decide. When you’re faced with so many deserving causes, it’s easy to feel paralysed.

You might find yourself asking:

  • How do I know my money will actually help?
  • How do I choose one cause when they all matter?
  • What’s the best way to make an impact?

This hesitation is called choice overload. It’s when having too many options leaves you feeling unsure, which sometimes leads to not giving at all.

A Simple Way to Support Multiple Causes

One Percent Collective makes giving easy by allowing you to support up to 12 different charities with one simple sign-up. We’ll handle the rest.

Here’s how it works:

  • One donation, many causes: You can split your donation across all 12 partner charities or just the ones you care about most.
  • No tough decisions: By giving just 1% of your income, you’re helping a variety of meaningful causes like education, health, and social justice.
  • 100% of your donation goes to the charities: Our operational costs are covered separately by Simplicity Foundation, so every dollar you give goes straight to the causes you choose to support.

Why Giving to Many Charities Works

Supporting several charities doesn’t just reduce decision fatigue – it also increases the impact of your giving.

Here’s why it works:

  • Your donation becomes part of a bigger movement: Together, One Percent Collective donors have raised over $4 million for partner charities since 2012. Your contribution adds to this collective effort.
  • Charities get steady funding: Regular donations help charities plan for the future and focus on their work, rather than worrying about fundraising.
  • You make a difference across multiple areas: Giving to several causes means you’re helping tackle a range of challenges in New Zealand, from poverty to improving health and education.

Feel Confident in Your Choice

With One Percent Collective, you can give without second-guessing yourself. Our transparent reporting shows the impact of your donations, so you’ll always know your money is making a real difference.
