Most people can have a huge impact with only 1% of their income.

According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 0.1% of the annual income of OECD member countries would be sufficient to eliminate global poverty by the year 2030. By contributing even 1% of your own annual salary can make a remarkable difference when plugged into highly effective nonprofit organizations.

Most of us can live comfortably with 99% of our annual salary and 1% creates a significant impact when given to high impact nonprofits.
Perhaps 1% of your income means that you contribute $50 per month to One for the World partner nonprofit organizations. You may think you need to contribute more to have an impact - but in the hands of the right organization, it can achieve so much! That is why we lean on GiveWell, an independent nonprofit evaluator, to produce a data-driven, transparent, and cost-effective portfolio of nonprofit organizations that do an incredible amount of good per dollar spent.

Significant drivers of extreme poverty are completely preventable or treatable illness and deaths. If these illnesses and deaths can be addressed through simple and affordable interventions, we can and probably should do something about them.

Most of us can live comfortably retaining 99% of our annual income. The 1% that we pledge to One for the World could mean the difference between life and death for thousands of people living in extreme poverty.

With your 1% Pledge going directly to our list of highly effective nonprofit partners, we can bolster programs that are already skilled at delivering vaccines, an adequate supply of food, safe drinking water, and antimalarial drugs and bed nets.

These programs have so far made tremendous headway in solving these preventable problems - between 2019 and 2020, global malaria deaths fell from nearly 900,000 per year to 550,000.

It is true that ~700 million people around the world live on less than $1.90 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 year from completely preventable causes, such as malaria, diarrhea, or malnutrition.

Effective giving is a philanthropic value system that prioritizes improving or saving the most lives per dollar contributed.

Not all nonprofit organizations are created equal and it can be difficult to know which ones are actually making a difference in the world.

Research suggests that only 3% of donors do comparative research before giving to non-profit organizations. One for the World has taken all of the guesswork out of your philanthropic endeavors by presenting you with a list of organizations that are the most effective at improving and ultimately, saving lives all over the world.
