 Giving you the power to give back!

When you identify a way to help out in your community and find like-minded people to help in the effort, you form a Give Back Group. Your group then submits an application for your project and selects one of the two ways listed below that GBU Life will support. All we ask in return is to hear about your success through photos and the end result! 

Work with fellow GBU members to make a difference in your community. Invite others to help as well. Your power to do good increases with each GBU member on your team. Learn more about the two types of Give Back Groups available and apply below. Together, you can make a difference. 

 *Terms and conditions for this benefit are based on funds availability and are subject to change at any time.
