When each gives one percent, humanity rises together.
A Rising Tide
for Humanity
A global movement inviting nations, corporations, foundations, and citizens to dedicate 1% of their resources to uplift the world’s poorest 10%.
What Could
One Percent Do?
If nations dedicated 1% of national income, global poverty could be permanently transformed.
If corporations dedicated 1% of income, innovation and opportunity could reach the world’s poorest communities.
If foundations dedicated 1% of their resources, philanthropy could become systemic rather than episodic.
If individuals joined through the GIVA alliance, a culture of disciplined generosity could emerge worldwide.
Humanity does not lack the resources to end extreme poverty — it only lacks a coordinated commitment.
Givingtide is a global initiative designed to coordinate proportional generosity across nations, corporations, foundations, and citizens. It aligns leadership, resources, and shared commitments to uplift the world’s poorest communities.

Unprecedented Wealth.
Unacceptable Poverty.
Humanity today possesses extraordinary wealth, knowledge, and technological power. Yet hundreds of millions still live in extreme poverty.
This is not a failure of resources.
It is a failure of coordination.
A coordinated commitment of just one percent could transform the trajectory of the world’s poorest communities. Givingtide exists to organize that commitment.
The Simplest Global Commitment
Ever Proposed
Clear · Scalable · Universal
Nations
Dedicate 1% of Gross National Income to uplift the world’s poorest communities.
Corporations

Foundations

The Architecture of the Global Givingtide
Sustained global generosity requires a system. Givingtide is built upon three foundational layers to ensure impact is permanent and coordinated.
Pillars — The Foundation
Institutional structures that sustain the movement through governance, stewardship, and continuity.
Channels — The Flow of Giving
The pathways through which the 1% commitment operates: Equity Giving, Cross-Continental Giving, and The Universal Project.
Moments — Global Expression
Annual moments that unite the world in visible acts of generosity, collaboration, and shared purpose.
