Each year, the Miss Earth USA organization partners with the B4ACUSA "Beauties for a Cause" nonprofit 501(C)(3) foundation through ambassador fundraising campaigns. This dedicated funding allows the foundation to in turn provide these young women with scholarships, grants, special event sponsorship, the annual mission trip and charitable projects throughout the year.
The Miss Earth USA organization focuses on environmental community impact, empowerment projects for women and girls, as well as the Still She Rose mental health initiative.
The ambassador campaign platform is hosted through SpotFund. All charitable gifts are 100% tax deductible and contribute directly to the nonprofit 501(C)(3) entity the B4ACUSA Foundation "Beauties for a Cause."

POLICIES
The annual giving campaign benefits Miss Earth USA’s official 501c3 organization (B4AC USA) - a not for profit entity registered in the state of Virginia.
The giving campaign does not affect overall scoring; however, any delegate who does NOT reach the minimum fund raising requirements will be ineligible to receive awards or become a finalist.
Spotfund makes all contributions directly to the nonprofit. The donor receives an email receipt. The fundraiser receives an email notification of the gift. The donor has the option to remain anonymous.
Each month, all candidates who have raised $150 or more are entered into a drawing to add $50 to their campaign! This raffle is awarded to one candidate on each leaderboard (Junior/Teen/Miss).
Minimum fundraising requirement for Miss/Teen delegates is $300 and Junior delegates is $250 by December 30. These funds help provide on-site activities during the national pageant, including production of the Silver Gala event and invitation to celebrity keynote speakers for orientation.
"Beauties for a Cause Scholarship Winners" - This year, the organization has implemented two incentive levels. The highest incentive level qualifies the candidate to be considered for the highest scholarship level of $1,500 per recipient. Youth incentives: $500/$750. Teen/Miss incentives: $650/$850. The lower incentive level qualifies candidates for a lower scholarship level consideration as well as reserves the candidate a runway model position during the January 2nd Silver Gala. Incentives are logged on December 31.
"Charitable Giving Winner" - The overall highest fund raiser in each division as of December 31 will automatically advance to her pageant finals on stage on January 4, regardless of judge scoring. If the divisional winner of charitable giving receives a judge’s score high enough to advance, the next highest charitable giving fund raiser who did not pre-rank by the judges will be included in the finals.
SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Scholarship consideration is based on the delegate's submission for Think Global Act Local, social media posts through the national pageant, her official scholarship essay submission, and any official statements made during the pageant such as her judges introduction and media interview.
