One Life Foundation is a not for profit benefactor nest of families. We offer advice, know-how, network and seed capital for individuals and organizations with ideas for the greater good of the world. New amazing NGOs are sometimes started by outstanding individuals with passion, ideas and willingness to help make the world better. Some of these NGOs struggle to get to a sustainable scale, where they have a strategy for impact and growth, which can create a strong organisation and a viable economic model.
One Life Foundation connects new NGOs with people that have complementary skills, resources and willingness to help. Occasionally they are new to the NGO world - but they seek to bring new skills and additional energy. We are looking for energetic individuals with great ideas for a business or an organization that will make a positive and sustainable impact for people in need.
We provide solid advice and mentoring from experienced leaders and specialists. We connect founders and good projects with relevant people from our personal network specifically, to support with knowledge on how to attract sponsors and how to raise money from foundations. Our board members have an average of more than 30 years of experience in their areas of competence. We support initiatives by helping, developing, or improving strategi plans and mentoring the entrepreneurs until the project reaches critical mass and achieves a sustainable life.
We help funding the delicate startup phase. We typically sponsor 10.000-20.000 USD that can help support great ideas through a critical birth stage, where it is often difficult to attract financial supporters. We aim to evaluate 3-10 projects every year and to select the best projects to give our support to.
One Life Foundation is small, yet large.
