Small Percentage. Big Impact.With only 1% of what you earn, you can help end preventable child death for good.
A Little Can Go A Long Way
One percent of your annual income is a number small enough to live inside your everyday life, but large enough to fund pediatric vaccines, provide essential vitamin supplementation, and ultimately save the life of a child under the age of five from a completely preventable death.
You don't need to have a lot to have a big impact. You just need to start.

Since 2014, we’ve moved more than $9 million (and counting), to the world’s most effective charities addressing preventable childhood disease. With your 1% Pledge, we can bolster nonprofit organizations that are already skilled at delivering medicines, nutrients, and interventions that reduce child mortality around the world.
What is the One for the World 1% Pledge?
To take the 1% Pledge with One for the World is to commit to addressing preventable childhood disease and global poverty through effective giving.
We regularly update our portfolio of nonprofit partners to ensure that you are always maximizing your impact. We also provide an Impact Report that shows how effective your dollars have been at preventing disease and saving lives.
Our Partners
We partner with the most effective charities, identified by a third-party charity evaluator, to optimize the impact of each donation made. Our Top Pick charities focus on reducing child mortality from preventable disease, each zeroing in on specific health interventions, from malarial bed nets to vital vaccinations.
Our Top Picks recommendations are identified through our partnership with GiveWell, a nonprofit dedicated to finding the charities that save the most lives per dollar through rigorous research.
Malaria Consortium
Malaria Consortium’s Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention Program distributes preventive anti-malarial drugs to children 3-59 months old to prevent illness and death from malaria during peak seasons of malaria transmission.
Against Malaria Foundation
AMF distributes long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets to prevent malaria transmission. Nets are highly effective at protecting against mosquitos.
Helen Keller International
Helen Keller International provides critical nutrition via direct Vitamin A supplementation to at-risk children around the world to prevent blindness and mortality.
New Incentives
New Incentives provides cash transfers to incentivize caregivers to bring babies to clinics for routine childhood vaccinations.
GiveWell All Grants Fund
GiveWell is our independent nonprofit evaluator that provides a list of recommended charitable organizations based on extensive research and analysis. Through our pledge, you can choose which number of these you would like to donate to through One for the World.
For donors who want to contribute to the full range of GiveWell’s grantmaking, this Fund may grant to any program that meets GiveWell’s cost-effectiveness bar, including those outside their top charities. The All Grants Fund is a good fit for donors who are open to multiple pathways to impact, including ones that are higher risk. Grants are made on a rolling basis.
