How It Works

GlobalGiving lets you give directly to vetted grassroots charity projects worldwide. It's an efficient, transparent way to make an impact with your giving.

Here's How the Process Works

• All organisations and their projects are vetted by GlobalGiving to ensure they are genuine and charitable in nature.
• You browse the website, and pick a specific project that matches your interests and passions.
• You make a donation (for any amount above £5). For each project you can also see illustrated examples of what different donation amounts can potentially 'buy'.
• We combine your giving with other donations to the same project. We then send the money to the organisation once a meaningful total (minimum £250) has been reached, and whenever possible within 60 days to ensure the money has an immediate impact.
• We ensure that 90% of your donation (including any Gift Aid) goes to your chosen project. The remaining 10% is used to help cover our own costs as a small UK charity, well below the overhead levels of traditional charities.
• We also claim back Gift Aid (if you are a UK tax-payer) to ensure your "tax bonus" goes to the project of your choice.
• You get regular updates telling you what a difference your money is making and the results that have been achieved.
