The charity industry has a $592 billion trust problem

We believe trust should be earned, not just expected. That's why we are building a platform for radical transparency, and are committed to operating by its principles from day one.

A New Era of Trust in Charity

The charitable sector faces an unprecedented crisis of confidence. Donors are losing faith because traditional charities prioritize overhead over impact.

Traditional Charity vs OneFamilee

Traditional Charities

Warning
  • 5-70% overhead costs
  • Annual reports with vague metrics
  • Executive salaries in the hundreds of thousands
  • Refuse to provide detailed documentation
  • Generic program descriptions
  • Donors never know where their money went

OneFamilee

OneFamilee Logo
  • 0% overhead - 100% to recipients
  • Monthly updates with photos & receipts
  • No executive salaries or administrative costs
  • Every receipt and expense publicly available
  • Direct support to named individuals
  • Track your donation from start to finish

The Overhead Scandal: Real Examples

Independent watchdog organizations identify charities with concerning overhead ratios. These are documented examples from public financial reports:

For The Troops

64% waste

Only 36% of donations reach programs (2022 data)

Result: Only $36 of every $100 reaches programs
Source: CharityWatch

Kars4Kids

59% waste

Functions as fundraising arm for related organization (2023 data)

Result: Only $41 of every $100 reaches programs
Source: CharityWatch

Kids Wish Network

97% waste

One of the worst-rated charities with minimal program spending

Result: Only $3 of every $100 reaches programs
Source: CharityWatch

Enough is enough.

While the charity industry debates overhead ratios and transparency standards, families in need wait for help. We're done talking. We're showing a better way.

Transparency in Action

Before our 501(c)(3) certification, we informally donated $50,000 to 47 families with $0 overhead. We were transparent because it was the right thing to do, not because we had to be.
