MAKING REAL IMPACT

ONLY ONE

THE PLATFORM MAKING CLIMATE ACTIVISM EASIER SHOWS SUPPORTERS WHERE EVERY CENT GOES.

AMID ESCALATING climate and biodiversity crises, people want to take more action—but are unsure about where to start, or don’t know if their contributions are making any tangible impact. Only One is channeling people’s awareness into action through a combination of content, campaigns, and crowdfunding, while bringing transparency to its efforts.

“To tackle climate change, the world really needs a global movement of people raising their voices to demand change,” says Jeremiah Kittredge, CEO of Only One. In the four years since it was founded, Only One has sought to build that movement, marshaling nearly 2 million people in 193 countries to use its platform, which makes signing climate-focused petitions or contacting legislators about climate issues straightforward. It’s also garnered more than 8,000 recurring monthly donors to support the company’s projects—from planting trees and coral to removing ocean plastics.

In the past year, Only One has been focused on accountability, ensuring that every cent donated has been tracked to individual impact units, with 2.5 million mangrove trees restored on coastlines and 60,000 climate-resilient corals planted on reefs since last July.

To get people engaged, Only One delivers educational content on its own channels to 1.3 million social followers and via 42 ambassadors with a combined social reach of 13 million—all, Kittredge says, part of playing the climate long game. “We need hundreds of millions of people to be meaningfully involved to make a big difference.” —AD
