Take the pledge
Pledge FAQs
Everything you need to know before you begin.
Learn how the pledge works, where donations go, and how to update your commitment whenever your circumstances change.
Why take the pledge?
Most people can have a huge impact with only 1% of their income.
Most of us can live comfortably on 99% of our annual salary.
1% creates a significant impact when given to high-impact nonprofits.
To see how much of a difference you can make with 1%, visit our impact calculator.
How often should I donate?
Donating on a recurring basis, such as monthly, is significantly more impactful for most donors than donating sporadically. On average, recurring donors give more per year and more over their lifetime of engagement with nonprofits than sporadic donors.
How do I modify/cancel my pledge?
You can sign in at donational.org/login to manage your Pledge using the email you signed up with (Donational is our donation software partner).
How do I get receipts for my donation to deduct from taxes?
You can get receipts for individual donations from your account at donational.org/login using the email you signed up with (Donational is our donation software partner).
How do I manage my pledge if I started donating before 2018?
Unfortunately, One for the World has no administrative rights to manage your donation via this platform. Accordingly, if you need help accessing your account, accessing tax receipts, or managing your donation, please contact Network for Good directly.
You can log in to Network for Good to manage your donation here or give them a call at (888) 284-7978, 8 am - 7 pm EST, Monday through Friday. Please note when you call that your donation is routed through One for the World to the National Philanthropic Trust (NPT), so NPT may be useful when you are trying to get support on your account.
We encourage all donors to migrate to Donational, our donation software partner, so One for the World can more easily manage your donation. If you want to migrate your donation, grab a 15-minute call with Fabiola here.
Can I defer my pledge start date?
Of course! Our proprietary donation platform provides a ‘future-dated Pledge’ option. This allows you to select a start date up to four years into the future. We specifically designed this to allow students to pledge now, but start donating after graduation.
Is the pledge legally binding?
Our pledges are in no way legally binding.
What if I want to give more than 1%?
If you want to give an amount that is really meaningful, we suggest you consider the 10% Pledge through Giving What We Can. Many of our staff and supporters give this amount, and you can fulfill your Giving What We Can pledge by giving through One for the World.
If you take the 10% Pledge, be sure to email info@1fortheworld.org and let us know. This data is valuable to us as it helps us track our impact, raise funds for our operating costs, and evaluate the success of our programs.
If you intend to give more than $10,000 per year, please email us at info@1fortheworld.org for bespoke advice.
