How Does a Nonprofit Become a Partner?

Nonprofit Partner Eligibility

The overarching goal of OnePercent for Education is to ensure that all children receive the opportunities, resources and supports they need to reach their full potential. Our Nonprofit Partners are proven, equity-driven organizations that provide crucial programs and services to children, their families and caregivers and their schools. Their programs and services result in improved educational outcomes for all children, especially those living in historically marginalized communities and under-resourced communities. Federally recognized nonprofit organizations who meet OnePercent for Education’s strict criteria are eligible for Nonprofit Partner status.

Nonprofit Partner eligibility is for five years and will be reviewed at the fifth anniversary to determine continued eligibility. There are no fees associated with nonprofit partnership. We want to generate as much funding and support as possible for our trusted, educationally-focused Nonprofit Partners.

The Application Process

Nonprofit 501(c)(3) designated organizations working in the field of education and related services for children and their families are required to complete the Nonprofit Partner Application. OnePercent for Education staff will conduct a comprehensive review to determine suitability for Nonprofit Partnership. A nonprofit may be engaging in profoundly successful work, but may not fit within the criteria for OnePercent for Education partnership. Upon review, successful nonprofit applicants will be asked to sign our Nonprofit Partnership Agreement.

How It Works

Our Nonprofit Partners receive funds from our Business, Foundation and Individual Members. Information provided on the Nonprofit Partner Application will be entered into our searchable database in order to match donor preferences to Nonprofit Partner programs and services.

Nonprofit Partners certify receipt of donations and submit an annual report detailing the use of funds received.

A Note from our Board Chair

With great sadness, we regret to inform you that the Board of Directors has decided to wind down and dissolve OnePercent for Education; and the organization has initiated the dissolution process. One of our primary goals was to galvanize members of the business community who had not participated or had not fully participated in social engagement. Another goal was to engage individuals and families in our work for educational equity.

We continue to believe that there are people who care deeply about the issue and that there are significant financial resources that can be generated to support this movement. Despite our efforts, OnePercent for Education was unsuccessful in generating enough funding to achieve financial sustainability at this difficult time.

Every decision made was through the lens of how we can best bring support for the kids who need it the most. This is the work that our Nonprofit Partners deliver every day and will continue to do. Our Board of Directors will individually continue to promote their efforts and encourage support of their work. As we wind down, we are distributing as much of our remaining assets as possible to our Nonprofit Partners. While each Nonprofit Partner has received modest funding, this is far less than we had hoped, given the importance of their activities.

We urge each of you to support our Nonprofit Partners in the fulfillment of their missions as it so deeply impacts the communities they serve.

Finally, we thank you for your support of OnePercent for Education.
