Non-Profit | The One By One Project

The One By One Project

Our mission is to support those who are underserved and at-risk in Greater Boston through partnerships with local non-profits. When a non-profit partner learns of an urgent need that falls outside their mission, The One By One Project quickly steps in, filling a need that would otherwise fall through the cracks.

How it Works:

Step 1.

Discover

A non-profit partner uncovers an urgent and unmet need. For example, let’s say an after-school program works with a family who cannot pay an unexpected medical bill from a hospital. They'd like to help, but the after-school program's mission does not include help with medical expenses.

Step 2.

Connect

The non-profit partner (the after school program) reaches out to the One By One Project to complete a brief questionnaire, filling in the details of the request for their family in need.

Step 3.

Resolve

The One By One Project reviews the request - typically within 48 hours or less. If approved, the funds are paid directly to the service provider (the hospital) to quickly alleviate the family’s urgent need.

From medical bills to utility payments, from childcare to groceries - the One By One Project is here to help. Through our non-profit partners, we address pressing needs quickly and seamlessly, (resolving payments directly with the service provider) so struggling families and individuals can get back on their feet. We are typically able to respond to requests within 48 hours.
