Start a One for the World Chapter at Your MBA Program
You're building the skills to lead organizations. Why not also build the habit of giving effectively? One for the World helps MBA students launch chapters that make high-impact giving part of campus culture — and part of their leadership story.
Why MBA Students Are Leading This Movement
MBA programs train the next generation of decision-makers — the people who will one day direct capital, run companies, and shape how resources move through the world. One for the World chapters give students a head start: a structured, low-lift way to pledge a portion of future income to the most cost-effective charities in the world, verified by independent research.
Chapters aren't just fundraising clubs. They're peer networks that normalize giving early, before salaries and habits are set.
How It Works
Recruit fellow students, host your first pledge drive, and join a global network of chapter leaders across MBA programs around the world.
Build your chapter.
We'll provide training, pitch materials, and a playbook built from chapters that came before yours — no need to start from scratch.

Every Pledge CompoundsSince 2014, One for the World chapters have moved $9 million USD to some of the most rigorously evaluated charities working on global poverty. Chapter leaders don't just raise money — they graduate having already practiced the kind of values-driven leadership their MBA is meant to prepare them for.
Is This For You?
You don't need fundraising experience or a finance background — just an interest in organizing people around something that matters. Chapter leaders come from every concentration, from finance to social impact to operations. What they share is a willingness to start something and see it through.
Recent Chapter Leaders
Manothri Mallikarachchi — Western ‘23
“I became a chapter leader because we didn’t have a chapter at Western University, and I was super passionate about OFTW’s work. I’ve always been interested in giving, especially because my parents have always encouraged me to be altruistic, but One for the World taught me about the importance of effective giving which is what I hope to share with others.”
Jyo Kamat — Kenan-Flagler ‘23
“Leading a OFTW chapter meant something much bigger to me than just giving. It was about radically changing the discourse and mentality around giving. OFTW is a movement before anything else, and there is no feeling more humbling than being part of such a powerful, collaborative effort.”
Will Valori — Stanford GSB ‘19
“One for the World was the most meaningful and impactful thing I did at Stanford. It is an incredible platform to help people. And you get learn, have fun, and connect more deeply with classmates along the way.”
