Welcome to the GlobalGiving Community

These pages provide Project Leaders with tools and resources designed to help you make the most of your GlobalGiving experience.

If you are interested in becoming a GlobalGiving Project Leader, there are two ways to do so:

• Through GlobalGiving's network of Project Sponsors, who vet each project for eligibility, help Project Leaders enter their projects, and assist in providing feedback to donors. If you work with a Project Sponsor - see list, we encourage you to contact them about sponsoring your organization and project. If they are willing to sponsor your organization, GlobalGiving is happy to work with them to post your project.
• Through opportunities such as the GlobalGiving Open (which ran from April-July 2006), which gives Project Leaders who do not work with GlobalGiving Project Sponsors the opportunity to post a project. In 2007, we plan once again to have a GlobalGiving Open, so please send your contact information to and we will add you to our mailing list and keep you informed of upcoming opportunities.

Please let us know what you find useful, and what you'd like to see. If you have any questions, contact us.
