Our Resilience in Action event demonstrated the essential role of One World in working with grassroots organizations to impact the lives of children -- even under the most difficult circumstances. We heard directly from grassroots leaders and fundraising champions how One World makes their work possible.
COVID-19
This is a global issue that will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable children and communities around the world. Please continue to support us and our members, so children in communities with the greatest need and the least access to resources continue to receive vital services, such as shelter, food, healthcare, and education. The need to come together and take care of our most vulnerable is more pressing now than ever.
OUR MISSION
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.
OUR services
One World empowers effective grassroots organizations to connect with donors in the United States. We provide an online fundraising platform, collaborative educational programs, and access to tax exempt donations via fiscal sponsorship.
OUR impact
We help our grassroots member organizations raise and receive over $2,500,000 per year to support children and youth affected by poverty.
Why International Grassroots?
Grassroots organizations possess the local knowledge needed to understand systemic problems in their communities and offer targeted solutions. Already interwoven into the social fabric, grassroots organizations have the trust, knowledge, and social capital required to effectively serve their communities.
While local solutions are typically the most effective and long-lasting, less than 6% of U.S. philanthropic giving goes directly to international grassroots organizations serving their own communities.
“One World operates from a place of trust for the grassroots members that they work with. This is important because it gives grassroots members ‘street cred’ in donor spaces that allow them to access more funding for the work being done on the ground.”
