Charitable giving is at the core of humanity. If we have extra to give, there is no reason to not give. When disasters strike, everyone is trying to find a way to help. Everyday there are struggles and causes that ordinary people take on to make this world a better place. And while giving at church, writing a check to the American Red Cross, or handing out a dollar to the gentleman on the side of the road make you feel good, wouldn't you feel better if you knew just how your dollars were spent? If you were interested in helping an African village to obtain a reliable source of drinking water, or providing an education to girls in Afghanistan, wouldn't you like to send funds directly to that cause?
Today it is easier than ever to find and fund your cause. Global Giving is an organization that provides a venue for connecting donors to the causes and countries they care about. Global Giving empowers people to protect the environment, help children, empower women or support any number of charitable causes around the world by connecting them with locally-run projects with innovative ideas that are helping their communities thrive. Not only are you able to find a special project that you can feel proud of, but you are able to research the specific project, track the progress of the project, and monitor the results that your donations have in the global community. You can see the impact of your dollar immediately for any given project.
Global Giving offers a variety of causes around the world. These include animal conservation and preservation efforts; education initiatives; green living; humanitarian aid; micro financing; human rights; HIV-AIDS; and disaster recovery initiatives. No matter what your cause, you can find a project that fits your profile and watch the project to its end. So if you are one of the many generous people looking for ways to make your donations go a little bit farther, Global Giving is the organization that provides you with the tools to make your donation have the biggest impact on the global community.
