Idea For a Cause

Your ideas and passion matters. We want to partner with you and collaborate with whatever talents, passions, and ideas you have.

Your Passion & Ideas + ODW = Impact

We want to invite you to join us in making a dramatic and global impact for those living in extreme global poverty. Simply share your idea to raise funds/awareness for ODW and our partners with us and we'll try to make it work.

100% of donations (minus credit card fees) go directly to the projects of your choosing.

Here's how it works:

  • Send us the info below and if appropriate, we'll create a unique page.
  • Walk the talk. Consider donating your day's wages or make another donation to let others know that you're not asking them to do something you're not willing to do.
  • Set a fundraising goal. You can choose any goal but don't be afraid to not meet your goal. 
  • Choose where to give. That's right. You choose! You can donate to the "Giving Fund" which allows the ODW board to make grants to small but thriving NGOs and CBOs in the developing world or you can choose any of our current partners.
  • Share and promote your "idea for a cause." Let your community know via email, facebook, twitter, house parties, and anything else you can think of.

What are some ideas?

We've had people host house parties, break dancing competitions, run marathons, host fundraisers, donate their engagements/weddings, host garage sales, etc. 

Here are some examples: Marathon, Baby shower, Climbing 14,411 feet, Wedding Shower, Biking, and Shaving your Head.

Some Clarification:

  • “Idea For A Cause” is a space for you to use your passions or big events in your life to help raise awareness and funds for ODW through a personal campaign. 
  • “Idea For A Cause” is not a space to recommend a cause for ODW to support. We support organizations that fall under the Millenium Development Goals, If you want to recommend a specific organization that is working on one of these goals, please feel free to contact us at: office@onedayswages.org.

Take a few minutes to fill out this form and share your idea with us. We'll get back to you very shortly:

Tell us a little bit about yourself. (Job, school, passion, where you live, or anything else you want.)
