What is the delta-v required to get a 1kg mass in Earth orbit into the sun using a SINGLE transfer?

I've seen this several related questions to this, but they tend to focus on complex maneuvers to minimize the delta-V. If I wanted to mass-drive, railgun or tether-spin a 1kg mass so that it would eventually crash-dive into the sun, what is that value?
