About Me

GlobalGiving is an online marketplace that connects people with world-changing projects to people who can support them.  GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.  Check out our new blog - GlobalGoodness.

Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, they know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met.

Donations made through GlobalGiving are higher impact because:

    * Money is going directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses
      
    * Projects on globalgiving.com have exposure to thousands of donors, enabling us to aggregate multiple sources of funding for each project
      
    * Many projects on globalgiving.com are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way
