I like what 50/50 is working to do. How can I help?


     Glad you asked—we’re thrilled you want to get involved, and we very much need your help.  Here's how you can help:



  • Your money!  It is amazing what small amounts of money can do to help someone start a business, produce a steady income, raise their standard of living, and sometimes even grow an enterprise to the point that it produces new jobs for others in their community.  Please look around our website, www.fifty50.org, and find an entrepreneur who you believe in.
  • Your time!  Whether you have just a few free hours a month or want to apply to become a 50/50 Associate, we’d love to have your help—there’s no shortage of work that needs to be done.  Please contact us and let us know if (and how) you're interested in volunteering your time.  Or, take a look at our volunteer opportunities to learn more about some specific projects.
  • Your stuff!  Lots of our entrepreneurs can put your old equipment to good use. Our supporters have given stuff ranging from an old camera to a budding postcard photographer in Ethiopia to an old laptop to an entrepreneur who opened an internet café in Zanzibar. If you’ve got something that you’re planning to get rid of or that's just collecting dust in the attic and think it might be of use, please get ahold of us.
  • Your miles! If you’ve got spare airline miles, we can use 'em! Through an innovative, generous partnership with several major airlines, our staff are able to travel around the world to help our entrepreneurs using donated air miles that are combined together for tickets.
