Mission Statement
Our mission is to unite a philanthropic community in funding grassroots organizations that provide food, health, shelter, safety, education, and opportunity for children living in poverty around the world. We serve locally led organizations working in communities with the greatest need and the least access to resources. We enable donors to invest in a diverse portfolio of international, child-centered, grassroots organizations. When you invest in One World, you are investing in more than 24 innovative, local organizations in 12 countries, providing health, education, safety, wellbeing, and opportunity for half a million children and youth.
About This Cause
Grassroots organizations have the trust, knowledge, and social capital required to effectively serve their communities. Yet, less than 6% of U.S. philanthropic giving goes directly to international grassroots organizations serving their own communities. While grassroots organizations are best positioned to serve their communities, they often lack the visibility, infrastructure, and credentials necessary to secure U.S. funding. One World has been bridging this gap since 2000. We deliver educational programs for our member organizations related to financial and organizational sustainability, facilitate a collaborative information sharing network, and offer our member organizations fiscal sponsorship and an online fundraising platform, allowing them to receive tax-exempt donations from the United States. Our vetting and monitoring processes are designed to determine whether organizations are serving their communities effectively, exercising responsible governance and financial management, benefiting from our collaborative information sharing network, complying with local nonprofit registration requirements, and accepting donations in compliance with U.S. laws and grant obligations. We keep our operational budget low and our overhead under 10%, all while sending more than $2.5M to international grassroots organizations each year.
