One vetted nonprofit a week. Free to learn about, for everyone.
50Two is a Texas nonprofit building a platform that features a different vetted 501(c)(3) organization each week, publishes free educational content about the problem it works on and how it works on it, and makes grants from 50Two’s own funds at the sole discretion of its Board of Directors.
Pre-launch. 50Two is not yet accepting contributions or enrollments. 50Two has applied to the IRS for recognition as a 501(c)(3) organization; that application is pending. The platform will open only after the IRS issues its determination.
What 50Two does
- Features one organization a week. Each featured nonprofit is a domestic 501(c)(3) public charity that has passed 50Two’s vetting process before it is scheduled.
- Publishes free educational content. For every featured organization, 50Two describes the social problem it addresses, the programs it runs, the communities it serves, and the impact of its work. This content is public and free to everyone, whether or not they ever give.
- Makes discretionary grants. 50Two makes grants from its own funds to featured and shortlisted organizations under a Board-adopted formula. Every grant is approved by the Board of Directors. No donor can designate, direct, or advise on any grant.
How giving will work
When the platform launches, donors will be able to enroll in a Giving Plan: a fixed-amount charitable donation to 50Two Inc., charged once per plan term and renewing automatically until cancelled. Every payment is a completed, unconditional gift to 50Two Inc. It does not fund any specific organization, and the timing of an enrollment does not direct anything to the organization featured that week.
Plan amounts, billing, cancellation, and refund terms are set out on the Giving Plans page.
Who runs 50Two
50Two Inc. is governed by a four-person, uncompensated Board of Directors. All activity is conducted by the directors, online, from the principal office in Frisco, Texas.
