Globalgiving

[scroll86]

I started using it a couple of months ago when I saw their advertising banner on Expedia.

The idea is that you pick a project that is on the site and then you can donate money which goes towards specific things. You then get feedback every few months on how the money donated through Global Giving has helped that project. I donated to a horse project and got my first feedback email the other day. I found it a very easy way to donate to charity and make sure that my money made a difference.

I have helped various charities with fundraising and this seems like a good way of fundraising for a specific project a charity may have.

Has anyone else ever used this at all? Are there any other sites like this that I can try?

Hi there scroll86 is this charity called Globalgiving ? I think its a really great cause that you are helping animals - I feel there needs to be more animal-orientated charities. I am actually involved in a similar concept called send a cow and at the moment we are looking for family friends at the sendacow website. The send a cow charity helps families in 9 different African countries by sending a cow to help in their farming pursuits so that the people involved can have a better quality of life from the money that they make. Have a look at the send a cow website as there is really great content and actually the cause is a worthy alternative for people such as yourself
