Only you choose which project you want to support. You decide!
2. YOUR CHOOSE FROM TRANSPARENT PROJECTS

6. YOU DON’T HAVE ANY OBLIGATIONS
When you join the 1%CLUB you will be not tied into anything. We’re not just saying this, we really mean it.
7. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING AT HAND, ON YOUR OWN PAGE
On your profile page you will see everything that‘s relevant for you: what are your projects undertaking and what are your friends doing?
8. YOU FOLLOW YOUR FRIENDS
Of course you would like to know what your friends are doing, or maybe what they’re not doing. Anyway, make friends via the site and keep an eye on them!
9. YOU WON’T BE SPAMMED
Now, isn’t that nice to know? No seriously, you determine whether you receive our notifications and the 1%NEWSLETTER in your mailbox. You set this up, via your profile.
10. BECAUSE 1% ISN’T THAT MUCH!
Try it when you’re going to the cinema: to sit on 1% of your chair, to drink 1% of your coke and to leave 99% of your popcorn. That’s how little 1% is…
HOW DOES THE 1%CLUB WORK?
The 1%CLUB is the online market place for small-scale development projects, where individuals and businesses can directly offer 1% of their time, knowledge and income to a project of their choice. At the 1%CLUB you decide yourself to which project you want to give 1% of your time, knowledge or money. It’s all very direct, engaging and transparent.

WHY 1%?
The 1%CLUB has chosen for a directive of 1% because it is such a small part that it hardly influences your own live and spending patterns, but for people in developing countries it can make a world of difference. Every day people die from hunger, illness and dangerous living circumstances. In one word, due to poverty. There are many ways to structurally improve the living circumstances of people with your 1%. So the 1% has been chosen as a ‘gimmick: you won’t miss this 1%.
1% makes sense; even more so if all of us do it at the same time, so join us too.
WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY 1%?
You determine that yourself. On the 1%CLUB website you choose the development projects that according to you contribute most to the fight against poverty. Your 1% directly goes to the project you have chosen. Every project has its own page with information about the project, a weblog, photos and videos so that you can keep exact track of what is happening with your 1%.
Determine yourself which project you support and join us!
