Nonprofit Overview

Mission: A non-profit subscription service dedicated to making philanthropy easy, accessible, and affordable for everyone. The Big Picture Project was founded and currently run by Nicole Less, a UC Berkeley student who encountered difficulty helping others as a young adult with little money to spare. During the pandemic with so many organizations desperately in need, Nicole couldn't stop thinking about the huge population of college students and young adults in the U.S. who might not have steady income, but still want to support others. ​ Philanthropy work is often grouped as a service from the upper class who have copious amounts of money or time to contribute. Nicole wanted to create a platform to give anyone and everyone the opportunity to be a changemaker while encouraging unity. Starting at $4 a month, less than a cup of coffee, the combined subscriptions of many individuals have the power to change lives. By picking a different foundation for each monthly sum to be donated to, The Big Picture Project allows contributors to support a diverse group of causes at a low cost. ​ Everyone should have the opportunity to give back, The Big Picture Project is the perfect place to start.

It is all too common to feel helpless and lost as to how to give back to the world, especially if you don't have copious amounts to give or if you wish to donate to multiple charities. The Big Picture Project solves all of these issues and more. Each month, I get to donate to a new organization, and I don't have added anxiety that I won't be able to afford it because it costs less than my daily cup of coffee. The best part of it all is that The Big Picture Project frequently updates their social media pages and emails monthly newsletters that inform me on all of the great organizations that I am donating to, and it's amazing to watch the Project grow as more and more people subscribe.

Such a cool and innovative way to raise money and help out different organizations! It makes it so easy for people to donate, especially for students who want to give but have tighter budgets. It's also amazing that all the proceeds go directly to the organization!

The Big Picture Project is a fantastic opportunity for anyone at any level to make donations to many of our favorite charities! it’s easy to sign up and a minimum commitment of $4/month can do a lot of good! The variety of well established, effective charities has been well researched to assure 100% your donations go to cause of the month. Over a year think of how much your charity positively helps so many people.

This charity is phenomenal - one of very few ways I've found to just make a small amount of donation do more for me. The big picture is a great, well-researched way to aggregate small donations for real change!

What an innovative, agile and interesting way to help others! I love how easy it is to set up a subscription with TBPP and know my money is going to good use. I especially love that it is set up so that a small amount can be given, which allows most anyone to make an impact. Five stars!

I am blown away by this organization. The model is innovative, efficient, and convenient. As a young adult with minimal disposable income this is the best way I've been able to contribute to make a real difference through philanthropy. It's so incredibly easy and self-sustaining. I chose a subscription of $4 a month, signed up once, and get to watch my impact grow every month through social media and news letters. Its nice to be able to support different causes through the big picture project as well. The Big Picture Project does a good job at specifying exactly how the money makes an impact.

"Everyone can make a difference" is the foundation of this amazing grassroots organization! The goal is to create a community of people who will make small donations, as little as $4.00 per month, which make an impact on a different non-profit each month. I love that the monthly subscription is so easy and convenient and that my monthly donation supports a diverse group of charitable organizations.

I've always wanted to become more involved with philanthropy, but never knew where to begin. The Big Picture Project solved that problem for me. Donating is so easy. Just sign up for the monthly subscription plan (which is only four dollars, about a cup of coffee a month), and the nonprofit chooses the charity that will receive the donation (added bonus: the donations go to a new charity every month, so you can support a wide variety of causes). I am so glad I found this nonprofit, and hope they continue to do big things. Thank you Big Picture Project!
