Company Profile
GlobalGiving's online marketplace allows donors to find and fund grassroots projects that appeal to their specific interests. GlobalGiving offers projects in more than 100 countries, in a variety of themes ranging from education and health care to economic development and the environment.
History
GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who have created a new, higher-impact way for individuals and organizations to direct their philanthropy to their choice of high-quality, trackable projects in the U.S. and around the world. The GlobalGiving platform aggregates many donations from all types and sizes of donors, creating a new source of reliable funds for projects leaders working to improve social, economic, and environmental conditions in their local communities and the world at large.

Vision
Unleash the potential of people around the world to make positive change happen.
Mission
Build an efficient, open, thriving marketplace that connects people who have community and world-changing ideas with people who can support them.
Structure
GlobalGiving is supported by leaders in philanthropy, official aid, and the private sector, including HP, U.S. AID, The Skoll Foundation, The Omidyar Network, The Sall Family Foundation, The Hewlett Foundation, The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, among others. Part of the costs of the initial launch and operation were covered by investors in ManyFutures, Inc., a social enterprise that collaborate d with the GlobalGiving Foundation to build the web platform and create awareness. As of December 2008, ManyFutures is a formal subsidiary of the GlobalGiving Foundation.
The longer goal is to make GlobalGiving largely self-sustaining based on donor facilitation fees; fee-based services provided to corporate and other institutional partners; and marketing sponsorships.
