One for the World — Scaling the effective giving movement addressing extreme poverty.

What is the One for the World 1% Pledge?

To take the 1% Pledge with One for the World is to commit to addressing preventable disease and global poverty.

One for the World regularly updates our portfolio of nonprofit partners to ensure that you are always maximizing your impact. We also provide you with an Impact Report that tells you how effective your dollars have been at preventing disease and saving lives.

The Global Problem

 

It is true that ~700 million people around the world live on less than $2.15 USD per day. This forces people to make impossible choices for themselves and their families regarding healthcare, food, water, education, and housing. 

As a result, ~14,500 children under the age of five die every day from completely preventable causes, such as malaria, diarrhea, or malnutrition. 

One for the World’s Solution

 

If these illnesses and ultimately, deaths can be prevented or treated through simple and affordable interventions, we can and should do something about it. 

With your 1% Pledge, we can bolster nonprofit organizations that are already skilled at delivering vaccines, adequate supply of food, safe drinking water, and antimalarial drugs and bednets. 

These programs have already made tremendous headway in solving these preventable problems - between 2004 and 2020, global malaria deaths fell from just over 950,000 per year to around 650,000. 

The 1% Pledge

 

Whether you have just heard about One for the World from a student on campus or you have been lurking our website for a while, we have to ask - are you ready to take the 1% Pledge with One for the World and have a high impact on the lives of people all over the world? 

Join the movement!

 

In addition to taking the 1% Pledge, many of our members have taken on a volunteer leadership role in their community or on their university campus - organizing their peers to examine their own philanthropic impact and build a movement!
