Community Forward: Celebrating 20 Years Of GlobalGiving

Join us for a virtual celebration of communities in the driver’s seat of change.


 

Before “crowdfunding” was a word in the dictionary, before social media existed, there was GlobalGiving.

Founders Mari Kuraishi and Dennis Whittle quit their jobs at the World Bank, convinced that the world’s most pressing problems would only be solved if local communities were in the lead. Today, GlobalGiving is accelerating community-led change around the world, making aid and philanthropy work for ordinary people with extraordinary vision.

We’re honoring that at “Community Forward: Celebrating 20 Years Of GlobalGiving.”

Join us: March 23, 2022 | 11 a.m. to noon ET | Online

Learn more about our virtual anniversary celebration.

Patricia Velásquez, an award-winning actress, model, and founder of GlobalGiving partner Wayúu Tayá Foundation, will host the event. Join us for performances from GlobalGiving partners and conversations with inspiring changemakers.

You can also witness the world premiere of three #CommunityForward films that will let you feel the power of community-led change in Kenya, Portland, and Puerto Rico with Hope Foundation for African Women, Seeding Sovereignty, and La Maraña.
