What is the GlobalGiving Girl Fund
GlobalGiving believes every girl deserves a chance to realize her full potential. Not just because she deserves to thrive, but because when she succeeds so does her family, her friends, her community, and the world. Today, in too many moments, in too many parts of the world, there aren't opportunities for women and girls to learn, contribute, and thrive. But we have good news- our nonprofits partners are the best in the business at helping women and girls do just that- thrive.
That's why we started the GlobalGiving Girl Fund. So we could provide ongoing support to projects that are dedicated to increasing opportunities and improving lives for women and girls around the world. And then, there is you. This invaluable support is fueled by millions of individuals just like you that believe in the same undeniable truth. That every girl deserves a chance to realize her full potential. Let's get to work!
