Mission Statement
GlobalGiving is a nonprofit that supports other nonprofits by connecting them to donors and companies. Since 2002, we've helped trusted, community-led organizations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe (and hundreds of places in between) access the tools, training, and support they need to make our world a better place.
About This Cause
Our Story By 1997, Mari Kuraishi and Dennis Whittle were convinced many key innovations in global development weren’t getting the attention they deserved. Believing there had to be a better way to do aid, they started an experiment. In February 2000, they invited any social entrepreneur to pitch his or her earth-changing idea at the World Bank. The 300+ participants ranged from a group of NASA scientists to a woman who’d never before left her Ugandan village. The event was a success, and Mari and Dennis realized good ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time. They also realized there were many others who wanted to support good ideas. So they left the Bank to launch the world’s first crowdfunding community in 2002. Today, people in more than 165 countries can easily share their ideas, and individual donors and companies can easily support vetted nonprofits through GlobalGiving. MISSION To catalyze a global market for ideas, information, and money that democratizes aid and philanthropy. VISION Unleashed potential of people to make positive change happen. COMMITMENT Use our privilege, influence, and access to share power, delivering equitable and inclusive services so everyone in our community feels safe, valued, and supported. Our Core Values GlobalGiving has four core values that are more than just buzzwords. They’re at the center of our office culture and drive our daily work. Always Open We believe in the power of great ideas and that these ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time. Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat. We continually experiment. We fail quickly and productively. We use data and feedback to guide our course. Never Settle We have an obligation to question the rules, change them for the better, raise the bar, play a different game, and play it better than anyone thinks is possible. Committed to WOW We act promptly, enthusiastically, and professionally so people are WOW-ed by their interactions with us.
