How It Works

Facilitating support from Business, Foundation and Individual Members to our Nonprofit Partners is what we do. We all have a stake in education and we can all make a difference when we pledge OnePercent for Education. We make it easy for you to make your impact. Our thorough vetting process ensures you can make your gifts with confidence, while our flexible pledge model enables you to readily give in accordance with your means.

For Our Pledging Members

As a Business, Foundation or Individual Member we’ve made it easy to donate and you always have control over where your pledge dollars go. Your choices include:

Option 1: Search our database to determine which of our Nonprofit Partners best match your philanthropic priorities. Then choose one or more to receive your donations.

Option 2: Not sure? Reach out to us and receive personalized guidance from our knowledgable team.

Option 3: We’ll carefully review your Member Donor profile and our Nonprofit Partner profiles to determine the best matches and disburse your pledge dollars to them for you.

When your philanthropic priorities change, simply login to our Members-only section of our website and update your profile. Prefer to talk about it? We are always available to connect with our Pledging Members. Contact us to set up a time that’s convenient for you.

You can fulfill your pledge via our online donation portal or by sending us a check. We also accept wire or stock transfer. No matter which options you choose, we’ll track your giving year-over-year and report to you on the impact of your gifts.

We also make it easy for you to volunteer for our Nonprofit Partners. To see current volunteer opportunities, login to our Members-only section of our website. From there, you’ll be able to review all available opportunities and express your interest by filling out a short online form. You’ll hear directly from our Nonprofit Partners, who will support you further. Volunteering is a wonderful and especially gratifying way to engage with our Culture of Participation.

For Our Nonprofit Partners

As a Nonprofit Partner, you will receive donor-directed grants from our Business, Foundation or Individual Members via our OnePercent for Education Achievement Fund. We disburse funds promptly upon Member pledge fulfillment and the vast majority of our grants come to you unrestricted. As a thoroughly vetted Nonprofit Partner, we trust you to allocate the funds where they are needed most.

Nonprofit Partners also enjoy the always open invitation to login to the Partners-only portion of our website to post volunteer opportunities. This is a great way to engage with OnePercent for Education members and keep our Culture of Participation thriving. Posting volunteer opportunities is quick and easy via a simple online form. OnePercent for Education Pledging Members will see your opportunities when they login and will be able to express their interest to you. You will receive an email to let you know of interest in your opportunity. There are no limits to the number or type of volunteer opportunities you may post. Seek volunteers for one-time events, ongoing programs and more. Want support? We are available to help. Contact us.

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.
