If you know of an organization that is doing great work, you can refer them to GlobalGiving. You must be familiar with their work and be able to provide the information requested and a recommendation using our referral form. We will then contact the organization regarding due diligence and next steps.
nominate your own project
Provide us with details about your organization and your work through the self-recommendation form. If you meet eligibility requirements, you will be invited to participate in an upcoming Open Access Challenge event (we anticipate the next Challenge to be in the August/September 2009 time frame). We will notify you in advance about requirements and the due diligence you will need to submit. Through the Challenge, if you are able to meet certain donation thresholds (number and amount of donations), you will be offered a "permanent" spot on the GlobalGiving website.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible to post a project on GlobalGiving, an organization must meet these requirements:

- The organization's staff must have the ability to communicate with GlobalGiving in English, including translating documents
