GlobalGiving
GlobalGiving 501(c)3 was launched in 2002 by two former World Bank executives, Mari Kuraishi and Dennis Whittle, "who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace." [1] They boast on their website that GlobalGiving "connects you with grassroots charity projects around the world. We ensure that 85-90% of your donation gets to local project leaders within 60 days." [2]
