GlobalGiving helps donors find and fund grassroots projects worldwide
Donors in the U.S. find it difficult to contribute to international projects. They face many challenges: in identifying high-quality initiatives, knowing how their money is spent, and ensuring their international contributions are tax deductible.
GlobalGiving removes these challenges, enabling donors to find and direct their contributions to high-quality, social, environmental, and economic development projects around the world. Donors know that all projects on GlobalGiving have been through a rigorous due diligence process, have significant social impact, and are eligible to receive tax-deductible donations. By posting a project on GlobalGiving and meeting due diligence requirements, you have created a non-profit 501(c)3 presence in the U.S., which is a significant benefit for those organizations not registered in this country.
GlobalGiving helps raise your profile with donors
In addition to wanting to fund credible, trustworthy people and projects, donors want to contribute to initiatives that have the best chance at success and that show progress and results. By posting your project on GlobalGiving, you are creating an online track record of your work. Posting on GlobalGiving.com enables you to create a history of accountability as you share publicly viewable progress reports and updates.
GlobalGiving sends your progress reports and success stories to hundreds of donors, keeping them informed and engaged with your work. Donors like to fund projects that demonstrate results and show accountability — by keeping your project updated and reporting regularly, you increase visibility and keep your project in front of donors. Donors who receive progress reports evaluate your progress reports, so it is key to keep them engaging and informative.
GlobalGiving promotes your projects
Our public site, www.globalgiving.com, provides a way for donors to interface with your projects. We work with online partners such as Google, eBay and Yahoo to promote your projects to their users through banner ads and other tools that direct audiences to GlobalGiving.
GlobalGiving also works with individuals, corporations, foundations, and other organizations to assist with specific giving needs. This enables them, their employees, or other constituents to contribute to specific projects in areas of strategic interest. GlobalGiving partners with international companies such as HP, Gap Inc, The North Face, and Applied Materials, providing them with custom giving services. Often, these companies promote the fact that they give to projects through GlobalGiving in the media. This is a great way for Project Leaders to gain exposure to broad U.S. audiences. We will contact you if your project meets a specific need for one of our corporate partners.
