GlobalGiving is a nonprofit that supports other nonprofits by connecting them to donors and companies. Since 2002, they have helped trusted, community-led organizations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe (and hundreds of places in between) access the tools, training and support they need to make our world a better place. GlobalGiving is a top-rated nonprofit that accelerates community-led change around the world. GlobalGiving has more than a decade of experience making grants to organizations large and small in 170+ countries around the globe. Each of the nonprofits on GlobalGiving.org has been rigorously vetted and has committed to providing donors regular updates about how donations are put to work.
Fidelity Charitable donors can utilize GlobalGiving to support international charitable causes and disaster response. Fidelity Charitable donors can recommend grants to GlobalGiving to further support vetted GlobalGiving partners for an additional fee.
