Summary
This 3-minute video provides an introduction to UN Staff 1% for Development Funds, each of which makes micro-grants to community projects proposed and led by the community for which the project will serve.
Description

By funding village libraries, day care center training, honey bee-keeping, and other locally-impactful projects, each UN Staff 1% Fund continues to change lives for the better.  Members make monetary contributions, and select projects based on their potential to become self-sustaining, and the requirement that each be led by local contacts who supervise and monitor the development initiatives.

To join a UN Staff for Development Fund, visit a Fund website for your location to learn more and complete the form. To start a fund in a United Nations duty station not listed, please contact any existing fund for advice.
