Why Give
Starting September 1, 2012 and continuing until all funds are depleted, all contributions to one of the projects below will be matched 50%, giving an extra boost to the impact your contributions will have.
Individual donations up to $2,000 per person per project are eligible for matching. Additionally, no project may receive more than $15,000 of the total matching funds. This $15,000 limit per project is to help ensure that as many projects benefit from the matching funds as possible.

What's the Safer World Fund?
The Safer World Fund (formerly the philanthropic arm of Our Voices Together) began as a response of family and friends of loved ones killed in the terrorist acts of 9/11.
It is now engaging many people who recognize how individuals can help fight terrorism. By supporting basic education, vocational training, and health care, these projects
offer opportunities to impoverished people in the poorest areas of the world, especially girls and women.

- Fulfillment fee for donations: GlobalGiving charges a 15% fulfillment fee on donations but works to keep the fees you pay as low as possible while providing you great services and resources. The 15% fee covers all transactional charges such as credit card fees, as well as helps cover the costs we incur to promote organizations and projects, provide them with fundraising training and tools, and maintain and improve our online technology in order to keep you connecting with new donors. With our add-on option, we also offer the donor the opportunity to make an additional donation to cover the fee so organizations receive 100% of the donations intended for their projects.
- Please note that GlobalGiving maintains the right to make a final decision on all matters concerning the adjudication of unique donors and final results of the Safer World Matching campaign.
