One for the World is a nonprofit based in New York City that seeks to broaden the reach of high-impact giving to address extreme poverty through education, training, and community building. Founded at the Wharton School in 2014, it supports a movement by informing volunteers and creating networks around effective philanthropy. The organization promotes a 1% pledge and reduces donor effort by screening charities and enabling recurring donations. Its network spans the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, with more than 700 members and over 80 university chapters at institutions such as Wharton, Penn Law, Penn Undergrad, Harvard Business School, Cambridge, St Andrews, and the University of Melbourne. It also runs talks for employees at major firms like Google, Accenture, and BCG, and in May 2023 announced a partnership with GiveWell to facilitate donations to highly effective charities.
