JBR Social Consultants

Founded by Canadian social entrepreneur John Byron Rochard. Since 2003 the primary focus and mission has been the integration of technology and applications that can innovate and create a new source of social commerce.

Considered an early advocate in the social impact movement. John and the group of companies he has founded over the past 11 years have strived to "think outside of the box" and bring to market business solutions that would support a shift in the way individuals can financially support their nonprofit cause of choice.

"Exploring a path to a new sustainable solution has not come without some very heavy lifting and setbacks."

While our vision with our stakeholders and partners is always been grand in nature, individuals, consumers and donors are still at the early stage of the curve around seeking and using new ways to support and advocate on behalf of their personal cause.

The outlook over the next 5 years may see a big shift in this trend with the Millennial Generation of philanthropist ready to embark on a new movement of embedding giving into their everyday living. Similar to the same type of velocity and consumer adoption individuals have had over the past 25 years with earning reward points and air miles through their daily purchase transactions.

At JBR Social Consultants we are committed to staying the course and being a small part of what we believe will be a BIG paradigm shift!

John Rochard – Embedding daily giving

John Rochard the Founder of Give and Go Prepaid, Inc wants to:
"Make giving part of everyday living, through your daily interaction around shopping, gifting and consumption. The simple outcome democratizes giving and makes it cool and relevant for today's society  - consumers/donor constituents give and get monetarily rewarded - NPO/causes are the recipients of a cost effective source of funding - Retail/Business Merchants re–direct their marketing and advertising budgets to effectively get a better ROI associated with a meaningful cause alignment with their customers. It's a triple bottom line http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line."

Give and Go Prepaid, Inc is a social enterprise committed to embedding different new ways to add giving into everyday living.
We work and align with organizations that focus on measurable funding and campaign results based on mutually determined fundraising benchmarks. Through the use of implementing cost effective online, social networking and mobile applications that engage and communicate with both donors and consumers.

Embedding a micro-donation into a Prepaid Card is a new way that nonprofit causes can raise money and awareness for their organization. Apart from the embedded directed donation you can spend the balance of your Prepaid Visa Card wherever Visa is accepted.
