Clean water
charity: water
6 days of clean drinking water for a family, per $1 Gesture
charity: water is a global nonprofit on a mission to end the water crisis in our lifetime. Since 2006 it has funded more than 209,000 water projects across 29 countries, reaching over 21.6 million people with clean and safe drinking water, and has passed $1 billion raised with the help of more than a million donors.
Its 100% Model is why so many trust it: every dollar the public donates goes directly to clean water projects, while a private community of donors covers all operating costs, a split that is independently audited every year. charity: water then proves each project with photos and GPS coordinates. That transparency has earned top marks from the major watchdogs, including a Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator, Candid's Platinum Seal of Transparency, and CharityWatch Top-Rated status.
We are proud to stand alongside an organisation that has redefined what accountability in charity looks like.

"Transparency isn't a tagline for us at charity: water, it's the whole point. 1Gesture sets each Gesture aside the moment it's chosen, and shows exactly where it goes. That's the kind of proof we can stand behind, and it's why we said yes to becoming a founding partner."
School meals
Mary's Meals
5 school meals for a hungry child, per $1 Gesture
Mary's Meals is a simple but powerful idea: providing nutritious school meals to hungry children in some of the world's poorest communities that bring them into the classroom and give them energy to learn. This means they can make the most of their education, which can help their communities break the generational cycle of poverty.
That idea now reaches more than three million children every school day, in over 6,400 schools across 16 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Working in partnership with the communities they serve, Mary's Meals are cooked and served by local volunteers using locally sourced food, which keeps the costs to deliver the school feeding programme low. Just $1 will provide a week's worth of school meals for a child in Malawi.
We are proud to partner with a charity that turns a simple meal into access to education and a way out of poverty for hungry children around the world.

"At Mary's Meals, we often talk about how our work is a series of little acts of love that, put together, have a huge impact. Our low-cost model means even small gestures of generosity will provide school meals that can truly change a child's life. This partnership with 1Gesture means you can turn an ordinary business meeting into something extraordinary and help a hungry child look towards a brighter future."
Coastal plastic recovery
Plastic Bank
25 plastic bottles removed from coastal areas, per $1 Gesture
Plastic Bank tackles two of the world's biggest problems at once: plastic pollution and poverty. It builds recycling ecosystems in coastal communities where waste and hardship are greatest, letting people exchange collected plastic for income rather than leaving it in the environment.
Its communities have now recovered more than 200 million kilograms of plastic from the environment, the equivalent of over 10 billion bottles, gathered by more than 68,000 collection members across 1,000 communities in Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, Egypt, Thailand and Cameroon. Collectors earn bonuses on top of the local market rate, with every transaction recorded in a blockchain-secured app, and the recovered material, Social Plastic, is reused by hundreds of global consumer brands. In 2024 EcoVadis awarded Plastic Bank a Gold sustainability rating, placing it in the top 5% of companies assessed.
We are proud to stand with an organisation proving that fighting plastic pollution and fighting poverty can be one and the same fight.

"Everything we do is measured, verified and traceable, so a partner who cannot show where the money went is no use to us. 1Gesture gives us an auditable channel into everyday business conversations, and puts plastic recovery from the environment in front of companies who would never have thought to come looking for us."
Transparency Statements
Every Gesture Partner is vetted, and the money follows a hard rule, not a promise.
Verified partners
Each of the three launch causes is an approved Gesture Partner with a signed agreement, checked and onboarded by us before it ever appears in a meeting invite. There is no open directory and no self-listing. A Partner that falls out of good standing comes off the list.
Where every dollar goes
Fifty cents of every $1 funds the Gesture your meeting guest chooses, routed straight to the verified Partner. The other fifty cents is reserved for the double: unregistered guests are offered a second Gesture to the very same cause. When a Gesture isn’t doubled, that fifty cents keeps the platform running.
Fund a little good before your next meeting.
