Problem or Opportunity
One Donation connects charitable giving to corporate social responsibility and employee engagement by enabling employees to give to over 1.7 million non-profits through payroll deduction. Our new payment certainty platform uses the same backbone to enable employees the ability to qualify for cell phone plans, finance large medical copays, and even pay bills to receive discounts. This increases the stickiness of employees.

Business model
We charge $0.50 per transaction. A transaction is defined as a donation to a non-profit or a payment to a vendor. For non-profit donations, the employer can elect to pay the transaction fee as a benefit. For payment to vendors, the transaction fee is taken from the total funds remitted similar to a credit card transaction.
