** Sometime over the past year, you joined the group, "For each person that joins this group, we'll donate $1 to fight extreme global poverty."
We had absolutely no idea how many people would join the group and so we had to clarify that my wife and I would personally donate up to $100,000 and raise the rest. While we hope more people will join this group, our goal is to honor our Facebook pledge and raise and donate a total of $1,077,816.
HOW WILL WE DO THAT? // For the past year, a team of volunteers and I have been working on birthing an
organization called One Day's Wages. It is now an official non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a Board of Directors, Advisory Board, a small office, 1 paid staff, several interns, etc.
WHAT IS OUR VISION? // We are an international grassroots movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
1. Visit our website and create an account: http://onedayswages.org.
2. Simply donate one day's wages = 0.4% of your annual salary. Even if you can't give one day's wages, imagine if each person in our group just gave $20, $5, or even $1?
3. You choose which project you want to give towards. 100% of your donations go to these projects. 100%.
4. Help spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, emails, etc.
