Universal Giving makes it so easy for me to nurture my want to give back something to our community. I can make more informed decisions about my volunteering and donations and it is important for me to know where my time, effort and resources are used. They have built an amazing platform that removes the hassles one may see in philanthropic work. I wish them all the success towards the achievement of their goals.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the time I spend volunteering for them. It is a mutually-rewarding experience. When I think I am contributing in some way to help our community, I feel I am getting more in return in terms of satisfaction, learning and bliss :)

I began volunteering with UniversalGiving recently because I recognized the significance of the work they do. I interned for a Guatemalan NGO last summer and saw an unmet need for international volunteers and donation opportunities. UniversalGiving solves that need by connecting individuals and corporations who want to give (either their time or their money) with tremendous NGOs that are doing a great job in helping out their communities. I love working here because they are committed to having only the best and most committed NGOs on their database and enable personal relationships between organizations and donors. The working environment here is great, and every single person is committed to the cause our mission.

I originally volunteered for UniversalGiving as part of the Disney volunteering program, where I was searching for nonprofits in other countries for UniversalGiving to put on their site. I enjoyed my work so much, I decided to come out and help in a greater way. They provide a lot of opportunities for people that are trying to understand the nonprofit world, and they have fairly comprehensive systems in place to allow new additions to be very much a part of their organization. I felt I was immediately given responsibilities and so this has been invaluable as an experience.

I met a range of people volunteering at UniversalGiving, overall the staff is very diverse and come from all walks in life. I was especially impressed by the energy and dedication of the CEO, who takes an interest in all interns, volunteers, and staff.

This is a great site for volunteering and donating globally. I like that the organizations listed on the site are vetted for me. One of my favorite donation opportunities is to be able to give $20 to provide a lifetime of clean drinking water to someone in Vietnam through the East Meets West Foundation. I can't believe how far most people on the planet have to walk ridiculous distances just to get clean(ish) water. That's not okay with me, and I like that in a small way, I can do something about it. http://www.universalgiving.org/donate/supply_a_lifetime_of_safe_drin/id1855.do
