We make it easy for you to receive donations from your donors, family, and friends by providing you with project pages where you post your organization’s needs, plans, photos, and fundraising goals.
So, why is GlobalGiving here? Why are we interested in working with you? Well, over the years, GlobalGiving has developed a unique set of skills in online fundraising and donor management and we believe that we have a platform that can help organizations like yours all over the world. We believe in the work that our project partners do. The organizations that we work with are providing clean water to communities that lack basic water and sanitation, they are educating orphans, providing microloans and job training to unemployed men and women, and they’re changing the face of their communities. Our mission is to support the work of our partners by helping them raise the financial support to keep serving their communities.
