How Help Build Works
Typically, when someone buys a carbon offset, the money goes to pay for a reduction in greenhouse gases that has already occurred. This purchase supports an existing project. But sometimes community-based projects, like wind turbines at public schools, don’t have enough funding to be built in the first place.
Help Build™ carbon offsets bridge the gap. You purchase carbon offsets from your project in advance—that is, before they occur. By doing so, you play a key role in funding its construction, enabling it to cut greenhouse gas pollution on your behalf for years to come.
Certifications
To calculate your carbon offset, we use internationally recognized methodologies to determine the emissions that your project will reduce. All Help Build™ carbon offsets undergo third-party verification to the internationally recognized standards, and each project is screened to ensure that it truly needed our, and your, financial support to be developed. In addition, our buffer policy is designed to deliver all of the reductions that you purchase.
