How it Works

GlobalGiving has partnered with a number of the recognized non-profit organizations - Project Sponsors - to identify and sponsor the best giving opportunities the world has to offer. We present these projects to you in an online catalog that allows you to quickly identify and fund initiatives that match your interests and drive real social and economic growth overseas.
