About One Percent Global

Imagine a world where everyone made easy, effective, connected contributions to ending poverty... and poverty evaporated!

That is the vision that inspires One Percent Global: Just one percent of the world's productivity, if used effectively, would be enough to work miracles.

We believe that the vast majority of people can, and will choose to, contribute just 1% — if they know their contribution will make a real, sustainable difference that they care about.

We believe this idea will catch on and spread, until an army of contributors - people like you - are creating change on a global scale.

We believe — no, we know — that poverty can be relieved, despite the notorious failure of foreign aid so far. We have selected projects that are doing it!

If you are ready to do your part, we invite you to join us. To be a member, there is only one requirement: Commit to donating 1%. Find an organization that works effectively to reduce poverty overseas, and donate directly to them.

You will probably find that you want to tell your friends and colleagues about One Percent Global. If it's worth your contribution, it's worth giving them the opportunity to join us as well. We will make that easy, with social websites, news feeds, and talking points.

Make the commitment, and make the world better... One Percent at a time.
