Positive Change Starts With Just One.

ONE person. ONE idea. ONE organization.

You can make a difference.
Empower the ONE to help the MANY.

We Are One For Many

We believe that education, entrepreneurship and community enablement are the channels that offer the best chance to create sustainable change for those in need

We support the ONE person, ONE idea or ONE organization committed to those channels and that we believe can create that change

We then ask beneficiaries to pay it forward and help transform their communities.

Lets Make A Difference Together

The world’s problems can be overwhelming and we can’t fix it all but we can start somewhere.

Let’s start small by finding individuals and communities facing hardship and lacking resources but seeking a better life for themselves and their children.

There are lots of locally-led organizations that understand what their community needs but are unable to provide it. They know their people. They have a solution.

All they need is support from a partner who cares and respects their input.

OFM is that partner. We will raise money for them. We will help them be more effective. We will hold them accountable. We will push each other to excel. We will focus on long-term sustainability .

What Makes Us Unique

OFM does the hard work to find, vet and monitor recipients so you know that any donations are going to the ONEs that have the greatest chance of creating a quality and lasting community impact.

Core Values

Gratitude
& Reciprocity

Our gratitude overflows into everything we do. We never forget where we came from. Reciprocity is at the heart of our company. We practice and promote both giving and receiving, and all of our recipients are encouraged to engage back into the community that supported them.

Compassion

We spread love to the people we interact with. We share in ways that promote positivity and opportunity. We communicate with compassion and forgo judgement. We operate through radical honesty and respectful directness internally and externally. We are quick to forgive and move forward with love.

Constant Improvement

We strive to constantly improve through re-assessment, introspection, and collaboration. We leave people and environments better than we found them. We choose flexibility in our approach and believe there is always a solution and opportunity for growth. We seek to learn and grow with our partners rather than assuming we have all the answers.

How We Create Social Impact

We do not pretend to know all the answers and believes that initiatives should be community-led and adapted to their unique circumstances. We have much we can learn from our partners.

We do believe that at a high level, there are 4 optimal social impact channels that best help those who are in need. These channels provide support for individuals at either early-, mid- or late-stages of their lives regardless of educational level and family situation. Where possible, we prefer to donate resources to the ONEs that are already active and successful rather than try to create or replicate what is already being done well.

Collaborating With Our Partners

The Founders of OFM have decades of experience in a variety of areas. A core part of how we give back is to provide hands on consulting and offer our skills to supported initiatives that need them.

When we select applicants, we carefully work with them to identify how we can help them, and we can do so in variety of ways.
