Fuel the Mission: Support OLI

Help us empower the nonprofit world. Your donation provides the essential stability OLI needs to mobilize our expert volunteers, deliver high-quality pro-bono services, and ensure that vital causes can communicate their mission beyond language barriers—all at no cost to our client organizations.

Ways to Support Our Work

As a registered non-profit association, we rely on the generosity of our community to cover the operational costs that make our pro-bono services possible. Choose the way that works best for you to help us advance social equity and strengthen communities worldwide.

1. Monthly Recurring Donation

A monthly gift is the most powerful way to support OLI. Recurring donations provide the stable, predictable funding we need to cover continuous costs like software licenses for our project managers, legal compliance fees, and the continuous development of our volunteer training programs.

2. One-Off Donation

Your one-time gift helps us tackle immediate infrastructure needs, invest in new technology, or cover unexpected administrative expenses. Every contribution, large or small, directly supports our volunteer force and the nonprofits they serve.

3. Become a Sustaining Member

Join OLI as a Sustaining Member and formalize your commitment. This annual membership fee acts as a dedicated donation and comes with all the rights and obligations as outlined in our statutes, including a formal voice in the association’s future. This option is ideal for individuals and organizations that want to support our mission but cannot volunteer their time or professional skills.
