About 1Matters

At 1Matters we just want to change the world, 1 at a time. We use the numeral 1 because it signifies an individual not a statistic. On any given night 640,000 American 1's, 1 daughter, 1 son, 1 brother, 1 sister, 1 mother or 1 father to some 1, who have lost domestic autonomy are living on our streets and in our shelters. But the 1 who can Matter the most right now is YOU! Your power and influence can and does change lives, right where you are. What will you do today to Matter to some 1?

We believe in hand up, not hand out. As the shortest route to domestic autonomy is financial autonomy, we teach good old fashioned hard work. 1Matters is working nationwide to identify and fund micro-enterprises with sustainable BUSINESS models. Among these are Street Papers, Urban Farming, and 1Works. 1Works is employing the unhoused to build and rehab homes for the unhoused. Your generous gift today will help us continue to Matter to 1 who Matters.
