About Globalgiving Foundation
Globalgiving Foundation Inc’s recent grantmaking is defined less by one program area than by a model: funds are raised through GlobalGiving and then disbursed to meet donor expectations. That shows up across a large, donor-directed portfolio that includes recurring support for organizations such as Sitare Foundation and Global Fund for Children, alongside larger, project-specific awards to groups working in disaster response, refugee rights, clean water, wildlife conservation, and education. The foundation operates as a public charity and a regular funder, with giving that runs through nonprofit organizations and charitable projects rather than individuals. The recent record also shows that this is not just a single-theme grantmaker. The same platform has handled support for climate-related work through The Coral Reef Alliance, humanitarian and medical relief through Direct Relief and International Medical Corps, and human rights-focused work through The Gathering for Justice and Madre an International Women’s Human Rights Org. In practice, the foundation functions as an intermediary between donors and vetted grantees, with grants often tied to donor expectations and specific project purposes.
What Globalgiving Foundation Funds
Globalgiving Foundation Inc supports a wide set of cause areas, but the recent grants make a few themes especially visible. In conservation, it awarded $456,730 to The Coral Reef Alliance in 2025 for funds raised by GlobalGiving and disbursed to meet donor expectations. In humanitarian and health work, it gave $643,386 to Direct Relief in 2023 and $414,674 to International Medical Corps in 2024 for the same donor-directed structure. The foundation also backs education and youth-related work. Raising a Reader received $350,061 in 2024, and Resolution Project Inc received $405,232 in 2025. Human rights and protection also appear in the record: The Gathering for Justice received $394,478 in 2023, and Madre an International Women’s Human Rights Org received $312,536 in 2025. These grants point to a broad portfolio organized around community-led projects rather than one narrow program line.
How Globalgiving Foundation Gives
Typical grant size centers at a median of $21,113, with the 25th percentile at $10,064 and the 75th percentile at $45,000. The recent list also shows a mix of smaller project grants and much larger donor-directed disbursements, which is consistent with a pass-through model. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Sitare Foundation, Global Fund for Children, Rebuilding Alliance, Watson, Nova Ukraine, International Medical Corps, High Atlas Foundation, and The Halo Trust. Globalgiving Foundation Inc is a public charity and a regular funder, not a private foundation or an individual-giving vehicle. Its recent grants are described as funds raised by GlobalGiving and disbursed to meet donor expectations, which indicates restricted, donor-directed grantmaking rather than open-call operating support. No program-related investments or individual grants are part of the profile.
