Mission

One Degree brings life-changing social services within reach for the millions of low-income people seeking help everyday. Through easy-to-use technology and deep community partnership, we remove the formidable barriers that prevent people from getting everything from housing to healthcare and beyond. Unlike most tech companies targeting the safety net, we are a non-profit startup led by people who have both used and worked in social services. Building on our decades-long track record of change, we are committed to not only making services simpler to find, but reshaping the industry to be more equitable and dignified for the people who need it most. Because we believe that poverty is hard, but getting the right kind of help shouldn’t be.
