One Day's Wages (ODW) is a philanthropic fundraising organization based in Seattle, Washington, formed to alleviate extreme poverty by funding and supporting locally led initiatives in underserved communities worldwide. The group makes grants to carefully vetted partners operating in areas where daily incomes are under $2.15, aiming to strengthen local leadership and expand access to essentials such as clean water, education, health care, vocational training, and nutritious food. Operating within the philanthropy and nonprofit sector, ODW positions itself as a connector that encourages individuals to contribute a small, regular amount—one day’s wages—to broaden the reach of its partner programs. The organization was established by a family who donated their 2009 salary to start a broader movement, and it emphasizes collaborative action among donors, communities, and partners to drive outcomes. Recent partnerships include working with Zoe Empowers in Malawi and other organizations to support vulnerable populations, with ongoing collaborations that broaden its global footprint.
