Globalgiving




GlobalGiving has been compared in the national media to the " EBay of international aid." {Link without Title} The philosophy underlying GlobalGiving is that market-based mechanisms can dramatically increase access and help ensure that aid resources flow to their best use, and can stimulate innovation in a way that existing approaches find difficult.

Some of the world's leading companies such as Hewlett-Packard have used the GlobalGiving platform to allow their employees to donate directly to grassroots social and economic development projects around the world. {Link without Title}

And some of the world's leading NGOs (non-profits) such as have elected to use the GlobalGiving platform, and selected winners of the World Bank's Development Marketplace are also eligible. {Link without Title}

GlobalGiving was created by two former staff of the World Bank to establish a more distributed, networked alternative to international development project design and funding.
