To learn more about One Degree, visit www.1deg.org.The ProblemLow-income families aren't getting services they need because the social safety net is fragmented and confusing to navigate. Opportunities for help remain unknown and unused. In addition to the difficulty of finding the right resources, nonprofit clients have little or no ability to provide feedback to help improve the organizations which serve them.How We're Doing ItBy providing the most underserved populations with tools to find and communicate directly with agencies, we believe we can strengthen the social service sector by making it more responsive and aligned with user needs. We are building a desktop, mobile, and SMS platform to make it happen.
