GlobalGiving makes it easy for your donor-advised fund (DAF) to support community-led organizations working to power meaningful change around the world.
A donor-advised fund is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to manage your charitable giving. Think of your DAF as a charitable checking account: you contribute funds, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to causes you care about over time.
By recommending grants from your DAF to GlobalGiving, you can help local leaders accelerate impact in communities across the globe. Thanks to generous donors like you, DAFs have contributed more than
$85 Million +
in grants to GlobalGiving
helping to educate orphans in Syria, protect coral reefs in Malaysia, build homes in Argentina, and provide nourishment to families in Darfur, among thousands of other life-changing projects worldwide.

While grants to GlobalGiving from donor-advised funds are not tax deductible (because the deduction is typically taken when you contribute to the donor-advised fund), your donor-advised fund can support any of GlobalGiving’s vetted, charitable projects, from girls’ education in Guatemala to wildlife conservation in Kenya, as well as GlobalGiving’s operations, or you can designate your gift to support where it’s needed most.
