One for the World
One for the World's mission to build a movement of people revolutionizing charitable giving to end extreme global poverty through education, training, and community building. Founded at Wharton in 2014, we now have over 700 members across the US, Canada, Australia and the UK; and many thousands who have pledged but not yet graduated. Charitable giving can be time consuming if people want to ensure that their money is going to highly effective charities. We minimize the effort by a) screening charities for you and b) allowing you to set up recurring donations. Set it and forget it! We have over 80 university chapters such as Wharton MBA, Penn Law, Penn Undergrad, Harvard Business School, Cambridge, St Andrews and the University of Melbourne. If you are interested in starting a chapter at your school, please email info@1fortheworld.org. We also do talks for employees at major firms across the world - see corporate.1fortheworld.org for more information.
