By donating here—to GlobalGiving—you acknowledge that your donation is intended as general operating support for GlobalGiving, rather than a donation to one of our thousands of projects posted by vetted charities. We cannot guarantee any designations made through the donor note/comment feature will be disbursed to the intended recipient nonprofit or project. **\n\nGlobalGiving connects nonprofits, donors, and companies in nearly every country in the world. We help fellow nonprofits access the funding, tools, training, and support they need to serve their communities.\n\nGlobalGiving performs rigorous due diligence on every organization in the GlobalGiving community in order to ensure they are performing charitable work in a transparent and accountable manner, and that they meet local requirements for registration with their local government.\n\nFEES\nIt does cost money to vet, onboard, and support our nonprofit community—and enable donors to safely make online contributions—and we want to explain how we make it happen. GlobalGiving retains a 10% nonprofit support fee on donations made on this platform to our partner organizations. This allows us to fulfill our mission to support our partners with the best tools, training, and support.\n\nIn some cases, your employer may underwrite GlobalGiving's nonprofit support fee, so that 100% of your donation goes to the cause of your choice.",
