GlobalGiving gives ordinary people a way to make an extraordinary difference.
GlobalGiving is a whole new way to power people's generosity and support great ideas. It's an on-line marketplace for philanthropy offering an efficient, transparent way for your giving to make the most impact. At GlobalGiving, we connect people like you to great projects you might not otherwise find.

Founded in 2002 by two former World Bank executives, GlobalGiving enables more funding to get to people with great ideas for addressing local issues. This allows these "Project Leaders" to launch, scale, and replicate their ideas, benefiting individuals, families, and communities around the world. In addition, the grassroots nature of most project found on GlobalGiving allows them to deliver impact and results at a fraction of the cost of top-down approaches by large institutions.

GlobalGiving sources projects by working with a network of well-run organizations, and our rigorous due diligence process ensures the projects we choose satisfy IRS guidelines for international grant making, meet tax-deductible requirements, and follow U.S. anti-terrorism guidelines. You have access to detailed information on the project's leader, objectives, and expected outcomes, and are notified when projects post updates reporting on their progress.

In addition, GlobalGiving partners with corporations and other organizations to support their philanthropic strategies, enabling employees, members, customers, and other constituents to contribute to projects and make a positive impact.
