Our Top Stories from 2017 - Year in Review

2017 tested us all.

It tested our promise to protect refugees from harm, irrespective of borders and places of birth.

It tested our resiliency in the face of devastating natural disasters, which rocked communities around the world, back to back.

It tested our commitment to hold onto common ground, as political and ideological chasms seemed wider than ever.

You responded with awe-inspiring resolve.

Over fifteen years ago, I founded GlobalGiving to prove that anyone, anywhere, has the power to change the world. I am both proud and grateful to report that the GlobalGiving community has never been stronger. Together, we are changing the world.
