One Day. One Step
On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation give one day's pay or what you can afford to Indigenous-led projects, movements, organizations and nations.
One Day. One Step
On Canada’s first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30th, 2021, One Day’s Pay launched a grassroots campaign to mobilize settlers and non-Indigenous people in Canada to meaningfully recognize the tragic history and ongoing legacy of residential schools, and to honour their survivors, their families and communities. People across the country responded to One Day’s Pay's invitation to meaningfully act: raising close to $750,000 dollars for Indigenous led projects, movements, organizations and nations over the last three years.
One Day’s Pay is guided by The Circle on Philanthropy, a national Indigenous led organization that works to transform the philanthropic sector to redistribute wealth, activate wisdom and strengthen organizational infrastructure for the purpose of Indigenous peoples, organizations, communities and nations.

Orange Shirt Society
The annual Orange Shirt Day on September 30th opens the door to global conversation on all aspects of Residential Schools. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of Residential Schools and the legacy they have left behind. A day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those that have been affected.

Many Indigenous-led projects, organizations and movements either aren’t eligible to become registered charities or choose not to seek charitable status. One Day’s Pay invites those who can to give generously, abundantly, and without restriction. That includes giving without requiring a charitable tax receipt on September 30 for organizations who cannot provide them.

Another Step - Sharing the One Day's Pay Campaign
Take another step to maximize your contribution by helping to spread the word. Use and share these support badges to show that you took the step to support Indigenous-led organizations through One Day's Pay.
Who We Are
We started as a small group of friends and colleagues, both settlers and newcomers, who wanted to do more than reflect on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - we wanted to act. We knew we were not alone in this. The One Day’s Pay Team — guided by The Circle on Philanthropy — continues to grow. Let us know if you are interested in volunteering on the yearly campaign.
