We're committed to providing tools, training, and support as they learn, grow and become more effective."
The 2018 Giving Season Accelerator welcomed 78 graduates and their amazing projects. From supporting refugee-led solutions in Malaysia to restoring Nairobi's iconic public libraries, to helping Rwandan prisoners become peacebuilders, the group's ingenuity and passion knows no bounds.
"The GlobalGiving Accelerator challenged me at a level I would've never imagined possible. It was an exhausting discovery and learning process filled with blessings. The GlobalGiving team was there for us every step of the way. I definitely recommend the experience to every organization. The process helped me reconfirm my commitment to our mission, our people, and Puerto Rico's recovery process. Thank you for this amazing challenge and the excellent support. YES, WE GRADUATED!"
- Sara Lopez, Founder & CEO, Puerto Rico Rises
