1Well is a new entrepreneurial non-profit that allows people to make social investments in high need areas of the world that have a direct and significant impact on the lives of others. Through its local partners, 1Well identifies critical life-sustaining projects – wells, sanitation, agriculture development, etc. – and matches them with social venture capitalists (SVCs) that commit to raising the capital required to complete the project. 1Well projects are grants, not investments, but the social returns are high. The first project was sponsored by an SVC who raised $5,000 from friends and family to build a sustainable well in India that gave over 500 people clean drinking water.
