The ONE Campaign is an international, nonpartisan, non-profit organization for increasing government funding for and effectiveness of international aid programs.
ONE was originally founded by a coalition of 11 non-profit humanitarian and advocacy organizations, including DATA, World Vision, Oxfam America, and Bread for the World, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2007, ONE announced that it would be merging with DATA.
During the 2008 U.S. presidential election, the organization launched a campaign, called ONE Vote '08, which was co-chaired by former US Senate majority leaders Tom Daschle (D-SD) and Bill Frist (R-TN). The campaign is named after the song "One" by rock band U2, of which the campaign's co-founder Bono is a member.
