FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1
THE ONE CAMPAIGN'S MISSION IS TO FIGHT EXTREME POVERTY AND PREVENTABLE DISEASE, PARTICULARLY IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, BY RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATING POLICYMAKERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF SMART AND EFFECTIVE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS, SUCH AS PEPFAR, FEED THE FUTURE AND THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TB AND MALARIA, WHICH ARE SAVING THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE WORLD'S POOREST COUNTRIES. ONE ALSO WORKS CLOSELY WITH AFRICAN ACTIVISTS AND POLICYMAKERS AS THEY FIGHT CORRUPTION, PROMOTE POVERTY-FIGHTING PRIORITIES, MONITOR THE USE OF AID, AND HELP BUILD CIVIL SOCIETY AND FREE ENTERPRISE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF OUR ANNUAL ONE AFRICA AWARD, WHICH IS GIVEN TO AN EFFECTIVE GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION IN AFRICA, ONE IS NOT A GRANT-MAKING ORGANIZATION, AND DOES NOT SOLICIT FUNDING FROM THE PUBLIC OR RECEIVE GOVERNMENT FUNDING. ONE DOES NOT DIRECTLY FUND CHARITY PROJECTS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, WORK WHICH IS DONE WELL BY OTHER NGOS. ONE'S STAFF OF POLICY EXPERTS, CREATIVE, COMMUNICATIONS AND DIGITAL MEDIA PROFESSIONALS, AND CAMPAIGNERS WORKING IN SEVEN COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE CARRYOUT ONE'S WORK BY EDUCATING OUR MORE THAN 6 MILLION MEMBERS ABOUT THE CRISIS OF EXTREME POVERTY AND ITS SOLUTIONS AND BY HELPING THEM TO USE THEIR VOICES TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE. (RED), A DIVISION OF ONE, MOBILIZES THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND PARTNERS WITH THE WORLD'S MOST ICONIC BRANDS, SUCH AS APPLE, STARBUCKS, AND BELVEDERE, WHO CONTRIBUTE UP TO 50% OF NET PROFITS FROM THE SALE OF (RED)-BRANDED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO THE GLOBAL FUND TO FIGHT AIDS, TB AND MALARIA.
