In their words:
GlobalGiving connects you to some 500 well-vetted grassroots charity projects around the world. It's an efficient, transparent way to make an impact with your giving.
Here's How the Process Works
* Project Leaders post their causes and details about what they need on GlobalGiving.co.uk - giving you an inside look at the project's unique needs and work being done.
* You browse the website, research causes by topic or location, and pick the one that matches your interests and passions.
* You make a donation and we combine your giving with other donations.
* We claim back Gift Aid (if you are a UK tax-payer) to ensure your "tax bonus" goes to the project of your choice.
* We ensure that 90% of your donation (including any Gift Aid) reaches the organisation concerned within about 60 days and therefore has an immediate impact. (The other 10% is used to cover our own costs as a small UK charity).
* You get regular updates telling you what a difference your gift is making and the results that have been achieved.
