GlobalGiving (globalgiving.org) puts social entrepreneurs and nonprofits in touch with donors interested in directly funding their charitable missions. Since 2002, GlobalGiving has connected 271,000 donors—and more than $67 million in funding—with almost 6,000 environmental, social, and economic development projects. The organization’s website allows donors to browse more than 1,000 grassroots endeavors in over 100 countries and provides them with progress reports once they donate so they can track the impact of their contributions. Examples of projects you can find in GlobalGiving’s marketplace include a summer arts camp for orphaned children in Cambodia, the building of a school in South Sudan, and the distribution of holiday meals to U.S. military families in need.
Each charity we feature has earned a four-star overall rating from Charity Navigator, which ranks not-for-profit organizations on the strength of their finances, their control of administrative and fund-raising expenses, and the transparency of their operations. Four stars is the group’s highest ranking.
