Global Giving
Chairman and CEO: Dennis Whittle, c

When you give to an ordinary charity, where does your "give" go? How many people is it helping? Is it going to have a long-term impact? Is your money being spent wisely?

GlobalGiving creates connections that bridge distance and culture (e.g. the couple whose wedding registry generated thousands of dollars to reforest areas of Brazil, or the teenaged sisters who hosted a fund-raising dinner to support sustainable farming in Mexico)
GlobalGiving enables individuals to help other individuals directly -- it's peer-to-peer philanthropy. And with $4 million in fresh backing from the Omidyar Network, it is poised for bigger and better things.
