One Day's Wages 15th Annual Gala
Once a year, we invest into a transformative, relational fundraising event: the ODW Gala.

This exclusive gathering isn’t just a celebration; it’s the cornerstone of our year-long journey to change lives.

Every auction item purchased, every dollar raised, fuels our operations as an organization—enabling us to seek out and support the diligent efforts of global grassroots organizations. These dedicated local champions are at the forefront of poverty alleviation, crafting solutions deeply rooted in the communities they serve.

Our gala is more than an event; it’s a promise.

A promise to partner, empower, and ignite change through targeted grants that turn local efforts into global impacts. Join us, be part of this pivotal night, and together, let’s invest once again in work that spurs a hope and transformation that spans the globe.

This year, we celebrate the 15 year anniversary of One Day’s Wages and the impact you have generated around the world. A buffet dinner will showcase 5 different global cuisines, a robust auction will entertain you, and stories of changed lives and future aspirations will leave you inspired.

We look forward to an evening of celebration with you on October 25th!

Your support is an invaluable component to fund our efforts to elevate the work of local leaders in under-resourced communities around the world.

Tickets to attend the gala are sold out.

WHY DO WE HAVE A GALA?

Once a year, we invite our giving community to generously donate towards our operations so that throughout the rest of the year we can give 100% of donations (minus credit card fees) directly to our partners around the world. 

This annual fundraising gala is an opportunity to raise our operation expenses and celebrate together in person the impact of our shared mission to alleviate extreme poverty. 

Your support at the gala funds all the behind the scenes work that occurs so that we can collectively invest into, amplify and come alongside grassroots organizations around the world. 

Your generosity fuels our passionate team, working towards a more just and beautiful world.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
— Margaret Mead
