Company mission
To transform aid and philanthropy to accelerate community-led change.
Our take
GlobalGiving is a crowdfunding organization that has been making a significant impact in the world of philanthropy since its establishment in 2002. It provides an online platform which connects non-profit organisations and charitable projects with a global community of donors.
What sets GlobalGiving apart from competitors is its commitment to transparency and accountability. The organisation vets the projects listed on its platform to ensure they meet its standards, providing donors with the assurance that their contributions will be directed towards credible and impactful endeavours. This assurance has seen close to a billion dollars donated to around 35,000 causes since the company's founding.
The future for GlobalGiving appears promising, with its recent partnership with the on-chain charitable funding platform Endaoment a testament to its innovative approach. This collaboration aims to expand GlobalGiving's directory of non-profit organizations that are receptive to cryptocurrency and NFT-derived donations. By embracing these additional sources of funding which have often been neglected by competitors, GlobalGiving is firmly establishing itself as a leader in the realm of charitable giving.
