Our Mission

1 in 1 Berts on this website needs your support.

Bert wakes up every morning. He makes coffee. He checks his phone. He is, by every conceivable metric, fine. And yet โ€” he could always be doing a little better. That's where you come in.

Bert with a puppy

"Bert waits. Not for rescue. Just for, like, a little extra."

Ways to Give

Less than a fraction of a cup of coffee.

For just 69¢ a day, you can make no measurable difference in Bert's life. But he'll know. He'll know.

The Acquaintance

69¢/day

Billed as $21/month, which is somehow its own joke. Bert will not know who you are. He prefers it that way.

Give 69¢ a Day

Just Give Bert $10

$10 once

No explanation. No newsletter. No follow-up. Ten dollars leaves your life and enters Bert's. That's the whole thing.

Just Give Bert $10

The Sustainer

$10/month

Recurring. Like Bert's expenses. Cancel anytime, although Bert would prefer you didn't.

Sustain Bert

The Visionary

$100 once

Bert will think about you fondly for up to 45 seconds. Results not guaranteed. Fondness may vary.

Questions

Frequently asked. Reluctantly answered.

Is this tax-deductible?

Absolutely not.

Is Bert okay?

Yes. That's the point. Bert is doing okay. He would simply also accept your money.

What is your overhead?

Zero. Bert is the overhead.

Is this a real charity?

No. This is a parody, and every dollar goes directly to one (1) regular guy named Bert who is doing okay. You are giving a tip to a stranger on the internet. Knowing that, welcome.

Can I cancel my monthly gift?

Yes, anytime. Bert would prefer you didn't, but he understands. He always understands. That's his burden.

Will Bert thank me?

Statistically unlikely. Visionary-tier donors ($100+) may experience up to 45 seconds of fondness, remotely.

You could scroll past this.
Most people do.

But somewhere out there, Bert is microwaving dinner for one, and your $10 could make that dinner... the same. But different, emotionally.

Give Bert $10

Bert is still doing okay. That could change, but probably won't.
