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.
