Nearly 70 percent of the globe's population lives on an annual income of $800. And only 1 percent of U.S. giving is distributed abroad. Many people don't know how to find a quality way to give their money or time.
A unique nonprofit called UniversalGiving matches donors and volunteers with quality organizations all across the world. Visitors simply search the group's Web site by country and an issue (such as education) in order to find a pre-qualified way to give or volunteer.
One hundred percent of any donation made through the site goes to the specified nonprofit. The organization also customizes programs for Fortune 500 corporations and their global employee giving and volunteer programs.
The organization offers a Gift Packages feature as well. The packages can be customized to have an effect on different important issues. For instance, one package provides a Liberian refugee woman with the tools she needs to feed her family.

There are ways to be confident that your donations are used the way you'd like them to be used-and in an effective manner. |
