Our Alumni

GlobalGiving is the first and largest global crowdfunding community for nonprofits. We give social entrepreneurs and nonprofits anywhere in the world a chance to raise the money that they need to improve their communities.

We believe that grassroots nonprofit organisations are best placed to create sustainable community initiatives and achieve positive long-term social impact. We support them by connecting them to the resources they need to create change: access to our online fundraising platform, access to learning opportunities to build skills and knowledge, access to support through a growing network of volunteers and corporate partners.

GlobalGiving set out with two goals: first, to provide new giving options for people wanting a direct, transparent, high-impact giving experience; and second, to provide the vital access to resources that community organisations need. Using a technology platform we are able to provide a scalable solution, whilst also recognising that people and connections are critical to making this vision a success.
