Doing Philanthropy eBay-style: GlobalGiving

Have you ever written a check for a charity and wondered, "Where is this money going? Is it really doing anything?" GlobalGiving takes the mystery out of international philanthropy by connecting donors with high-impact projects all around the world. Donors visit GlobalGiving’s website and choose from among a variety of pre-screened charity projects. The leaders of the projects submit updates, so donors can see how their money is making a difference. As an online marketplace for legitimate charity projects, GlobalGiving has been dubbed the "eBay of international philanthropy." One of the people who helps keep this marketplace operating is Saima Zaman, 29, a Program Officer at GlobalGiving.
