About GlobalGiving.co.uk


GlobalGiving.co.uk enables you to support well-vetted, grassroots projects all over the world.

You can browse projects from all over the world, give to the ones you are most passionate about, and see the impact of your donations.

Most of the projects on GlobalGiving.co.uk are in the developing world where a small amount of money usually goes a long way, benefiting communities that wouldn’t otherwise have access to supporters in the UK.

Over £17 million has now been raised for 1,500 projects, across GlobalGiving’s US and UK websites. GlobalGiving.co.uk launched in the UK in September 2008, and the website has been averaging 300,000 annual unique visitors.

Our UK corporate partners and supporters include the likes of Google, Expedia, eBay, Merrill Lynch and the Guardian. GlobalGiving’s success has also started to influence the UK’s wider policy towards overseas development.

Our community of donors, projects and funders are now pushing us towards a more ambitious vision: ‘GlobalGiving 2.0’ – the opportunity to use our technology and operating model to ‘reinvent’ overseas aid, one person at a time’

Watch our video to find out more (or read about our vision) and please contact us if you would like to support GlobalGiving in this vision.
