FOUNDER'S STORY

Buying2Give was born from a simple but powerful question: “Why are so many charities struggling financially whilst billions of dollars flow through global online commerce avenues every day?”

After decades spent mentoring youth, serving communities, and working internationally, Peter (Pappy) Young saw firsthand how many non-profit organizations were trapped in exhausting cycles of fundraising, uncertainty, and limited financial resources.

At the same time, affiliate marketing was generating billions of dollars globally — but very little of that revenue was reaching the charities and vulnerable communities who were doing the hardest work.

Peter knew there had to be a way to capture these "lost" revenue streams.

Drawing on his lifetime of service, leadership, and social advocacy, he decided to create Buying2Give - a platform designed to redirect everyday consumer spending into sustainable community funding opportunities.

Peter's vision was simple: Everyday purchases creating extraordinary social impact.

Rather than relying solely on donations, Buying2Give seeks to build ongoing revenue systems that allow charities, community organizations, and social projects to become more financially sustainable over the long term.

For Peter, Buying2Give is more than a business idea.

It is part of a lifelong mission to help create: greater fairness, stronger communities, global cooperation, and a more compassionate world.

He believes that when people work together with truth, justice, charity, and freedom at the centre of their actions, real and lasting change becomes possible.

Why is Peter called Pappy?

In 2016, while on a field trip across Bangladesh, he visited the remote Island of St. Martin.

As he was chatting with some of the villagers, a 10-year-old girl approached him carrying a tin plate filled with small tomatoes.

She smiled, offered him the tomatoes, and said: “Please Sir, you are not Young... you are old enough to be my Pappy!”

Everyone laughed, including him.

And from that day on, the name "Pappy" stuck, and it has remained a reminder that age is not measured by years alone, but by the relationships we build and the lives we touch.
