A 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity

Your wish.
Someone's answer.

Give what you have. Receive what you need. Connect one-to-one.

Not a donation pool

Someone who has something to give

A specific person or organization who needs it

1to1WiSh is built differently: what you give goes to someone you can actually see — a name, a story, a real need. That's the whole idea. For example, a meaningful wish can be something you give, something you know, or time you choose to share.

100%Goes directly to the person you choose

DirectNo fund. No waiting. No middleman.

1:1One giver. One receiver. One wish.

1to1WiSh is a newly launched platform — every wish granted from here forward becomes part of a real, growing story, not a marketing number.

One wish at a time We're sensitive and conscious about human needs and the environment — every WiSh reaches a person, a community, a school, or a shelter.

Why 1to1WiSh

At 1to1WiSh, we recognize that life often gets hectic, making it challenging to find the time to donate items or volunteer. That's why we provide an effortless platform to grant or request resources or time directly to those in need, no matter where they are in the world.

Our mission extends beyond mere exchanges — we're committed to fulfilling human needs while supporting environmental sustainability. Whether your WiSh is large or small, your act of kindness can transform lives, uplift communities, support churches, enhance schools, and empower organizations globally, fostering a more compassionate and sustainable world.

How it works

Donating and building a community is easier at 1to1WiSh

1to1WiSh is designed to make donating effortless and meaningful. Here are a few everyday moments that become someone's wish granted.

Give your time

Donate your time

Teach a language, a sport, or a trade. Your skills can transform someone's life.

Give the outgrown

Donate baby clothes

Have baby clothes you no longer need? Someone out there could use and appreciate them.

Give while moving

Donate during moves

Are you moving and have lots of items that someone can use? Don't let them go to waste.

Give during a remodel

Donate during remodels

Donate furniture and household items — in California or anywhere in the world — that can find a new home with someone in need.

Give as you graduate

College

Are you graduating college? Your books, computer, table, and other items can help the next student.

Give critical care

Hospital equipment

Wheelchairs, monitors, unused supplies — surplus medical equipment can be lifesaving in the hands of a clinic or hospital that needs it.

Give from the business

Business surplus

Extra inventory, returned stock, or equipment your business no longer needs can become exactly what a school, shelter, or family is looking for.

Give a skill

Teach something useful

Language lessons, art classes, coaching a sport — sharing what you know is one of the most lasting wishes you can grant.

Pay it forward

Every WiSh Sparks the Next One

Someone helped you. Now you have an opportunity to help someone else.

Give Receive Pay It Forward.

Once you enter your 1WiSh, consider how you can continue to pay it forward. Every act of generosity sparks a chain reaction of kindness, creating a ripple effect that can ultimately change the world.
