How It Works

GlobalGiving connects you to over 450 pre-screened grassroots charity projects around the world. It's an efficient, transparent way to make an impact with your giving.

Connecting Donors to Doers

GlobalGiving begins with the dedicated, tenacious individuals who are driving change in their communities. From running orphanages and schools, to helping survivors of natural disasters, these people are do-gooders to the core. We connect these "good idea people" with the "generous giver people" and help projects of all sizes receive donations of all sizes.

Here's How the Process Works

• Project Leaders post their causes and details about what they need on GlobalGiving.com - giving you an inside look at the project's unique needs and work being done.
• You browse the website, research causes by topic or location, and pick the one that matches your interests and passions.
• You make a tax-deductible donation and we combine your giving with other generous folks doing the same thing.
• We ensure that 85-90% of your donation is on-the-ground within 60 days and has an immediate impact.
• You get regular updates telling you what a difference your gift is making and the results that have been achieved.

How Can I List a Project on GlobalGiving?

Projects are referred to GlobalGiving through our network of Project Sponsors, reputable organizations that vet projects for eligibility and provide references for projects' work. In addition, GlobalGiving periodically offers competitive opportunities for anyone to submit their projects for consideration. If you are interested in being notified of these "open access" opportunities, send your contact information to Manmeet Mehta at .
