Really great organization that is sorely needed in this day in age. It’s very inspiring and uplifting that donors are deeply giving and Scott Fifer knows every donor’s names.
I have been grateful to see GO Campaign's mission in action over the last 5 years. The Local Heroes they work with are some of the most remarkable humans I have ever met, and I am continually inspired by them. GO is proof that a little can go a long with in this world.
Community Transformers Organization is a charitable and non governmental organization working in Mathare slums and its environ since 2005 and has been funded by Go Campaign to boost our Income generating activity and smoothly running of our children Home[orphanage]in Kenya. For the last 8 years Go Campaign has involved us in training on leadership, finance management, communication, they have been keeping InTouch and connecting us to other locals working with them so that we can learn from one another, they have supported us during Covid19 time when there was a lockdown and getting food and other. What has made Go Campaign different with other organization is that they don't only fund us but build our capacity and what we are doing with focus on the sustainability of the organization.
GO Campaign is very close to my heart as this organization helps to improve the lives of vulnerable children around the world by partnering with local heroes to deliver local solutions, giving them a better chance in life and create opportunities for medical care, shelter, food, clean water and education that helps to transform their lives. A truly amazing organization creating a brighter future for those who need it most. Every child in need deserves a fair chance.
Go Campaign is a charity that I call a diamond in the rough!! I was so blessed to be introduced to Go by a wonderful being that saw that are organization was doing great things for a large community in Watts with very little funding to continue to feed in the middle of Covid! The here comes Scott and his team to our aid!! Go!! Is an example of true live , zeal, and compassion for others!!! If it wasn’t for Go we wouldn’t have survived. Thank you Scott and the entire team at Go Campaign! It’s because of you were able to Go!!!❤️❤️
Go Campaign made it possible for our program to fund certification courses in yoga, reiki, cycling, stretch therapy. Not only do these certification help the young women of our program earn incomes while focusing on their emotional and physical health, they are also educating the community on the benefits of holistic healing to promote emotional and physical wellness.

GO Campaign receives our highest recommendation as a charitable organization who is dedicated to serving the most in-need segments of our planet and society. Thanks to multiple projects with GO Campaign our children here in Tashirat have benefitted greatly from their expertise, generosity, patience and diligence. We cannot recommend them higher. For further information please contact us at: tashiratmail@gmail.com
We are thankful to the incredible compassionate GO Team who helped us and is helping in difficult and painful circumstances. They responded to our call for urgent support and raised funds for orphan children and female teachers. We are incredibly proud and grateful to be receiving support from such an organization that enable us to expand possibilities for vulnerable children in rural areas of Afghanistan.
Go Campaign funding made a lasting positive change amongst the girls we serve. We were able to offer a one-year vocational education to our second cohort made of 52 vulnerable rural girls, with age of 16 to 25. They are school drop-out, teen mothers, those living in the lowest economic strata, and living with disabilities. During this program, they learn ethical fashion, entrepreneurship, tailoring, leadership, agribusiness, gender norms, health education, and life skills. After 4 months of training, the students are a part of the production chain which allows them to generate enough income to address the basic needs of their families.
One of the most incredible charities I have ever donated to, or worked with. Scott Fifer is an exemplary reflection of what a difference one person can make. I have witnessed the loving care and concern that he shows for his causes, the people involved, and aside from 100% of the donations going directly to the charity (how does it get better than that) he/Go Campaign sees a need and does its best to provide support.
We have benefited a lot from Go Campaign’s generosity and support. It's because of Go Campaign that Elimu Fanaka’s Klub Ujuzi (Ujuzi is Swahili for skills), a children’s life skills club was able to kick off this year! Through their support, we established these clubs in rural public primary schools in Kenya to support young people 10-14yrs old to acquire life skills, financial education, and support their mental health and wellbeing. Go Campaign has been a true partner! We can't thank them enough for believing in us and the dream of transforming one school at a time, one community at a time. On behalf of our team, the Board and the communities we serve - Asante Sana!
Go Campaign is our partner hero in the development work of restoring hope and Transforming lives of Children/youths living in underserved communities like the slums of Katwe, Bwaise, Kibuli, Nateete and Kawempe that includes disabled children. Go campaign support enabled us to survive and even endure the covid-19 lockdowns. SOM Chess Academy
Four months of working with Go Campaign have been like magic months for our organization. We had no direction, wanted to suit in and try solve every community problem in our area, then boom Go Campaign comes and guides us in re-focusing our energies, resources to realize meaningful impact in the lives of the people we serve. For years, whenever we thought of a strategic plan, it was like this giant docent that we could not manage to develop But Go Campaign made it's so simple and we are forever blessed that we now know what exactly we will focus our attention over the next couple of years. The technical guidance and support from Go Campaign to our organization is what we have never received from any donor before. It's more than money, it's about seeing our young non-profit soar to the next level in our growth.
GoCompaign is always on top of the big issues while rooted in the basic needs of every community. They really put a new name to Grass Roots activism. They are the most impressive non-profit orginization I have been involved with
I've been involved with GO Campaign for several years and have traveled to projects in Peru and Tanzania. What I love most about GO Campaign is its direct, tangible impact on changing young lives and giving people hope. Scott Fifer finds "Local Heroes" who have identified a great need and have the energy and enthusiasm to make changes. What they lack is financial resources and support, and that is where GO Campaign steps in to assist.
In Peru, we visited a school where GO is helping to educate students in remote, high altitude locations. We heard an older student describe how he was able to attend secondary school, while his older brother had not because he was supporting the family. This student movingly described how he was doing it for both of them and was so grateful for the opportunity.
In Tanzania, we saw firsthand the amazing work that Brenda is doing to build the Gabriella Centre, a comprehensive facility to help students with developmental disabilities, while educating their families and communities. The students, who would previously have been hidden away or ignored, were happy and thriving.
I have complete confidence that GO Campaign puts resources in the hands of those who really need them and can put them to good use. The individual stories of the Local Heroes and those they serve are so inspiring. I hope to visit some of the local projects in the US as well, and I plan to continue supporting GO Campaign; they do wonderful work!
My family and I have followed and supported Go Campaign for over a decade. From the founder, Scott Fifer, to the projects, volunteers….everything is so uplifting and motivating. We have been involved with many nonprofit causes over the years, but I know Go Campaign will help the most people all over the world. I see no better cause to be involved with, or for donation purposes! Keep up the great work! I love all the updates, it fills my life with joy! Stacey Lundin and family

I’ve supported Go for years. I love the projects, the staff, the message, the outreach, the updates...I can’t say enough good things. Go gives me hope in this crazy world!
Go campaign has been the pillar stone of my life. My guardian angel! From a street boy in the violent streets of Thika to a 4th year medical school student at the moment . Mine has been a journey of transformation, from living for survival to living for a goal of becoming a doctor. This is a journey seen through by Go campaign.
Go campaign has fully covered my medical school expenses leaving me with just the task of working hard on my career. This has given me a conducive environment to focus fully on my studies.
Besides the financial support from Go campaign,Scott Fifer has been a father figure in my life, from when I was a ten year old todate,he has continually offerred me both psychological and moral support. He oftenly checks on my welfare for which I am truly grateful.
Its a life saved from the streets in Africa by an organisation in America(Go campaign). I consider that a miracle. Thank you Go Campaign.
I have been involved with GO Campaign since 2007 and can say this charity and it’s founder Scott Fifer are the real deal. I have traveled to multiple GO sites in Africa and Cuba meeting Local Heroes and communities GO Campaign supports. Supports by asking the community what they need. GO and Scott listen to hear first hand how they can help. Scott is personally invested in others, and truly cares. He's learned multiple languages doing this work. I've seen him speak fluent Swahili and Spanish, I am sure he is learning more as he meets people around the world. The work this organization does is inspirational. I am glad to be a long time GO Campaign supporter, a donor and volunteer. Pictured here is one of the many sites I visited with Scott through GO. Local Hero Brenda Shuma helps children with special needs at the Gabriella Children’s Center in Moshi, Tanzania. Through help with GO Campaign they were able to build a new center empowering these children and changing lives.
A little bit goes a long way. There's no greater example of that than the work done by GO Campaign. Go Campaign is a nonprofit that welcomes any type of contribution, no matter how big or small, and takes precious care to make sure it makes the maximum impact. While their incredible impact is far reaching, they have the ability to make the experience feel personalized - allowing you to see exactly how your contribution is being used and keeping you involved and informed (however much you wish to be) every step of the way.
They have an incredible ability of telling the stories of those they are helping, of sharing their vision and also of helping you share your own vision for how you would like to make an impact. When you work with GO Campaign, in any capacity, you feel like you are part of a family and you feel personally invested in the stories they are telling and lives they are saving. GO Campaign is expertly run, truly passionate and the perfect organization to help you make the difference you want to see.
GO Campaign is an amazing nonprofit because it works to benefit communities through the help of local heroes. GO Campaign only gives what communities ask for instead of giving what they think they need. This process helps GO to truly benefit those in need. I've been so lucky to find GO and the Youth Advisory Board there because I have been able to create real change and help people, like a fundraiser we organized for SOM chess academy.g
We love GO Campaign! They have helped fund our programs that serve teen moms and pregnant teens as well as connect us to community partners and volunteer groups.
RootDown LA (RDLA), a youth-led non-profit organization that empowers youth to become leaders through healthy food ventures in South Los Angeles. The Go-Campaign supports RDLA by taking our DEMAND side (culinary program) to another level their contribution supported our remodel kitchen to continue training youth into food justice through culinary skills, so they become advocates for other youth to increase their veggies preference, increase food knowledge, and self-confidence. The Go-Campaign contributed to our SUPPLY side (garden program) by helping fund the FarmPOD a multi-use container that lives in our garden. RootDown LA honors the philanthropic work that the Go-Campaign helps/supports and we make their mission part of our own when we serve our communities.
I love go campaign because each person on their team has such enthusiasm to make a change. There are endless opportunities to help others in need and I can always find something I am passion about to help out with. Go campaign is easy to get in touch with always finding ways to support different ideas I may have. I love Go Campaign and i'm so grateful such an amazing organization is out there to help others.
My family and I have supported the GO Campaign for over 5 years. We value GO's commitment to working with local heroes in the US and all over the world who strive to create a better environment for the children in their community. As a member of their Youth Advisory Board, I love how deeply GO cares about the people that they support. They don't just send money to them, they get on the ground with them, learn, and help meet their specific needs.
I wanted to volunteer for the GO Campaign because of the mission to provide opportunity, education, and health care to children all over the world. I know that I am lucky to be supported by loving parents in a safe and warm home and go to an amazing school where my teachers and deans support me. However, I know that many children in the world do not even have some of their most basic needs met. I wanted to help change that.
Go Campain has provided me with the opportunity to learn more about how organizations use the funds that they raise to effectuate change in the world. In just a few short months, I have learned that even helping out just a little bit can make a big impact. Go Campaign has taught me that no matter what I do in my life, giving back to my community can continue to be a priority. I have learned how to raise money from peers, run a social media campaign, use my community to bring attention to an important issue, and work with a diverse group of people. I am grateful to be a part of the Go Campaign Youth Advisory Board.
This campaign is one that not only helps children but also educates and teaches them to be the best leaders they can be. I serve as a member on the board of the juniors and I truly , love every meeting, fundraising, and planning that I am able to do. Its been such an amazing journey so far and I cannot wait to keep on being involved with this organization.
As a member of the GO Campaign Youth Advisory Board, I've been fortunate enough to see first hand all the incredible work they do. Living in Los Angeles, I've been able to physically help in projects locally, but also work on issues and help those in need around the globe. The GO Campaign is truly a rare organization that is able to make positive change on all scales from their backyard to a different hemisphere.
My experience with GO Campaign began when they did a virtual conference at my school. I was instantly drawn to their missions, and especially impressed by all the different programs they have. I knew I had to get involved, so I interviewed to become a part of the Youth Advisory Board. Since then, the YAB has brainstormed social media outreach, participated in peer to peer fundraising to fund a local hero's mission in Uganda, and has begun preparations for the GO Campaign's annual gala. My time with this nonprofit has been overwhelmingly positive, and I cannot wait to see what else GO Campaign will accomplish.
GO Campaign is the reason hundreds of youth and adults involved in the criminal justice system in Santa Barbara County, California still have access to community-based diversion and reentry resources throughout COVID-19. They have been such a blessing to work with. Communication is always clear, concise, and filled with hope and love. We are eternally grateful for their support, their vision, and their dedication to searching for grassroots community work to lend assistance to. A very special shoutout to Michelle from GO Campaign for believing in us here at Freedom 4 Youth, especially during challenging times for smaller organizations. We LOVE GO Campaign!!!
GO Campaign is the best way to get help to those who really need it. A strategic and streamlined organization that makes every dollar count. You can feel not only good about supporting this organization, but smart for knowing your funds won’t be wasted or misused.
I know the owner of this campaign personally and, i know that he's one of the best people i have ever known. His passion for helping others who are less fortunate is what helps drive this entire campaign. Scott is the type of person who would be willing to give anyone who needed it, the shirt off his back so, him being the lead man in this organization is why i have faith in it. How the organization is ran also puts the funds into the hands of each individual place its needed. To be honest, its the only organization that I can trust where the money is going...
The GO Campaign has been an amazing supporter our efforts to house & feed college students experiencing food and housing insecurity in Los Angeles County. GO Campaign gave us grant dollars to support our new housing facility, the Opportunity House, a 53-bed home that will provide stability to students at this critical time in their lives. But the staff at the GO Campaign didn't just stop at providing much needed funding, they've been at the house to help clean and paint on the weekends in order to make the home as beautiful as possible so that students feel comfy and at-home in their new space. Michelle Costa even put together "welcome baskets" that each student will receive upon moving into the house. This will undoubtedly make students feel warmly welcomed. I cannot stress enough how incredibly grateful I am to have GO Campaign's support.
GO Campaign has been pivotal to the success of our program and we’re immensely grateful.
In our community in Ethiopia, this success equates to girls having access to education and not going down a path of child marriage, child labor, and/or entering into a trafficking situation. It’s life-changing, not only for our students but for their families and communities as well.
GO Campaign's efforts exceeded our expectations when pivoting to assist during our Covid-relief drive, a crucial time for our community.
Thank you GO Campaign for believing in our girls, in grassroots work, and for letting children around the globe know they matter!
Go Campaign has been an amazing sponsor. They are very easy to work with: despite being in a different time zone we found communication very easy. No unnecessary paperwork allowed us to getting working on the recovery project immediately.
The support and swift response was key to us transforming our services. The needs of low-income neighbourhoods have changed during the pandemic and therefore the role and function of Burgess Sports has changed too. In many instances, Burgess Sports has expanded from supporting young people to supporting entire families to respond to their needs.
The children live in very densely populated high-rise flats. There is very little space and very few have a garden space. Many families do not have access to computers and have lost contact with their school work. Many people have lost their jobs. There have been difficulties accessing food and the prices have gone up a lot. Some families have had relationship problems.
The concern of mental health, both lockdown and fears around the virus are driving forces for deteriorating mental health and wellbeing amongst young people and their families.
With Go Campaign support we were able to help to tackle these issues. We provided hot-meals to vulnerable families and delivered a very successful online programme, which offered a variety of activities for the whole family. We had over 500 participants in this programme, who were following the fitness sessions, and engaging in different weekly challenges, such as jigsaw puzzles that were distributed door to door. The quizzes and online leadership course were popular with our teenagers.
Go Campaign support made a huge difference throughout the lockdown, we are very grateful and our community as well. Thank you Go campaign!
GoCampaign has been a huge supporter of our work with refugees and asylum-seeking youth. Their support has enabled us to provide food security to a network of refugee shelters in Tijuana over the past few years. They have gotten Los Angeles youth involved in our work, both through education and activism. We are incredibly grateful for this organization and their continued support of our work. Humanity knows no borders.
GO Campaign has given generously to Siddhartha School to provide safe access to water and build our student dormitories. Their commitment to seeing on-the-ground results is genuine. Their contribution continues to provide for the education of over 440 students each year!
Siddhartha School remains grateful for GO Campaign's network of inspiring donors who believe that education is the path to a more peaceful planet.
Located in Ladakh, India, Siddhartha School provides education and the stability that it brings to children living in the disputed Kashmir region along the India/China border.
I became involved in following the activities and donating to The Go Campaign in 2015 after actor, Robert Pattinson, became an ambassador. I have donated twice a year due to his involvement and support of causes such as a school being built in his name in Cambodia to COVID-19 emergency response to Americans in need. The Go Campaign staff is accessible and friendly regardless of your ability to donate. I highly recommend The Go Campaign!
I’ve seen it start from the very beginning. Scott Fifer has poured his heart and soul into this organization with his big heart and amazing support of very influential people. Go Campaign helps build opportunities for youth that have very little opportunity. I absolutely love what they do and support it every opportunity I have.
GO Campaign is exceptional in sourcing and supporting small grassroots organizations for young people worldwide. Through expertise built up over many years, they enable children in some of the world's toughest regions to fulfill their potential. They have done fantastic work during the Covid-19 crisis, continuing to help local leaders not only keep children on track but to grow and prosper during this challenging time.
I have been a huge fan of this organization for many years. I love that they work at the grassroots level and let you know the impact of your donations. I have had the opportunity to meet some of their Local Heroes in Los Angeles and they are amazing. GO Campaign shines a spotlight on individuals who are truly making a difference and changing the lives of children.
An organization that actually cares! This organization has the children’s best interest in mind and are dedicated to supporting the life of youth groups around the world. As a volunteer that was worked directly with the GO campaign team, I can confidently say that this is a cause worthy of supporting!
My organization, GirlForward, has been a partner and grantee of GO Campaign for several years. They are really committed to their mission and supporting the organizations in their network, always reaching out with new opportunities to make a bigger impact. The team at GO Campaign is really amazing and supportive!
What I love the most about GO campaign is its transparency. I love that 100% of donor donations actually go towards helping the youth directly. There aren't too many nonprofits that can say that. They're also great at what they do - finding and vetting partners and projects so that donors know the money is going to places where it can really make an impact. It's great knowing that my money is actually going where it's supposed to. Their projects are diverse and they are all so important. It's been great watching them grow.
I volunteered with GO at their fundraising event earlier this year, and was incredibly impressed with their organization. Their local heroes are truly inspirational people, and they are doing great work – not just around the world but in local communities in California where they are based. They do a great job fundraising and distributing funds efficiently, without much overhead. Their team is great to work with, and are truly dedicated to their mission or doing more good in the world. It's always great to hear about their success stories, and the lives they have changed through smart, creative and efficient philanthropy.
The concept for Go is a simple one. Find people who are helping kids and help them do it. They have been remarkably successful doing this. I’ve been donating for years now and can be assured my money is actually doing a child good somewhere in the world. That’s s great feeling.
100% of our donations are actually used for the good of at risk children and women both in the US and abroad. This is our favorite recipient of donations because we have seen firsthand what having a local hero can do for these kids, from Tanzania to Peru to LA!
GO Campaign has been supporting the shifting of lived experiences for us at CleanSlate~Street Dreams by grants aimed at under resourced communities and youth assisting us with reaching over 250 youth in Echo Park and Watts.
Belmond, the travel company I work for, supports Go Campaign projects close to two of our hotels and luxury trains. Go Campaign is a remarkable organisation that helps Local Heroes already running successful charities for vulnerable children to expand their reach. We are partnering with Go Campaign to fundraise and volunteer at Youth Interactive in Santa Barbara, where our team is pictured with Local Hero Nathalie Gensac at the opening of their new skill centre for teens. Likewise, in Peru's Sacred Valley we are fundraising for My Small Help, a children's literacy project where our staff are shown on a volunteering day. Go Campaign are fantastic to work with. They identify, review, monitor and report on each project with great professionalism, efficiency and enthusiasm. This is grassroots action at its best.
I've been on the Advisory Council for a few years now. First, Scott Fifer is the real deal. That man give 100% of himself to making GO Campaign an incredibly impactful charity. Second, the cause itself - helping at-risk children all over the world by working through local leaders with a proven track record - simply cannot be more important or relevant to making the world a better place. Third, this strategy ensures that donations have the biggest impact possible. Not managed by a large bureaucracy in a far-away place, but locally, by leaders with a demonstrated track record of accomplishment. It's a fantastic recipe that delivers demonstrable results and changes lives. Couldn't be prouder of the work Scott and team are doing!
Scott Fifer & the GO CAMPAIGN do amazing work in the community and abroad. I am proud to say that I have been an active donor to the GO CAMPAIGN for the past 4 years. The help that Scott and his team provide not just in the U.S. but overseas is truly Gods work. It is a wonderful organization and you can really see your donations hard at work (and paying off with so many success operations in place). Just an amazing cause run by amazing people.
I have been following and supporting GO Campaign since the beginning. The enduring passion Scott Fifer has for understanding the need and the work to be done is unsurpassed and he works tirelessly on behalf of GO everywhere. Additionally, knowing 100% of the contributions go to the programs and not administration warms my heart even more. You can’t go wrong going with GO Campaign!
Want to make a true difference in the lives of children? Here’s your opportunity! Go Campaign makes a difference worldwide—on the ground helping children help themselves! I am a supporter and highly recommend them!
I've been a huge fan of GO Campaign since its early days, and remain impressed by how they've grown and deepened their impact over the years. By focusing on local community heroes and specific programs with measurable immediate objectives, they set a high standard for engaging their donor audience and delivering results. Beyond that, they make the work fun. I've never attended a more lively and memorable gala. Keep up the great work and keep GOing!

I've been a supporter of the GO Campaign for several years, and have delighted to see their scope and impact expand steadily both in terms of results on the ground and results amongst the youth donors they cultivate. It's an excellent example of how simple, accessible, but inspiring tools can turn kids into effective and enlightened activists. Kids helping kids -- there could be no greater aspiration and this is one of the organizations that brings that brilliant promise home and then some.
As I have watched Go Campaign evolve and grow, I have continually been impressed with Scott Fifer's commitment, follow through, due diligence, compassion, sensitivity, and understanding he puts towards the needs of the amazing children that Go Campaign is able to help around the world.
Scott has structured the Go Campaign with maximum effectiveness and efficiency so that all monies go to the very specific needs of each and every local orphanage that is part of Go Campaign. He brings each and everyone into the family, so to speak, and treats them like his own, investing emotional, physically, mentally and with the drive and know how for the maximum results, truly helping the entire community.
With more and more support coming their way, I know the Go Campaign will continue to expand, making an even greater impact on children in need around the world.
I came across GO after my own volunteer experience at an orphanage in Tanzania. I knew I wanted to work more with orphans and children who were in need. My first meeting with GO was greater than I could have hoped - they were exactly the organization I was looking to work with. The dedication they have to all of their projects, to all of their children around the world, is humbling and inspiring. Sharon, Diana and Scott are some of the most hard working and committed people I have had the pleasure to work with!
Review from Guidestar
Getting to know the GO Campaign has been a tremendously rewarding experience in my life. A few years ago, I met orphans from Tanzania, and GO's impact on their lives is evident in so many ways. GO reached out to them, offering them new experience, a new home, better living conditions, and an incredible support system to grow and prosper from. The most amazing thing that never seizes to amaze me is how much the kids smiled, especially after hearing their life-stories, and I cannot forget how much they made me smile, too. Never was I so appreciative of my family and of my life, realizing how much one person, or one idea, can influence the lives of others. It truly is a magnificent organization run by amazing, thoughtful individuals, and I hope to work with them and see them grow as time goes on.
Review from Guidestar
GO campaign is dedicated to helping children in need and the local heroes that have dedicated their lives to them; like SHERP-a facility in Kenya that serves handicapped and disabled children who would otherwise be abandoned and left for dead. Best of all, GO supports different communities all over the world with unique focus on each area's specific needs.
Review from Guidestar
I became familiar with the Go Campaign through my personal friend, Scott Fifer. The same qualities we love about Scott as a friend have translated into Scott being a friend and fierce advocate for children around the world. Devoting his brilliant mind and endless energy to the Go Campaign has been remarkable to witness. The result is 100% of all donations collected going straight to children in need. Administrative costs are not paid for by donations. This clean accounting is hard to find and provides peace of mind to donors who want their funds to directly impact children in need.
Review from Guidestar
I serve as a trustee for a small family foundation dedicated primarily to assisting grass roots programs for children and families in need. The Go Campaign has become our favorite charity. We are especially impressed by Scott Fifer's innovative approach, the attention provided to their programs, the level of transparency and follow through, their overall impact, and the care given to funders and those receiving funds. It is an inspiring and very well run program that deserves more recognition for all that they have accomplished with their small staff and little overhead. Once the Go Campaign identifies a worthwhile program to fund, we know that the money will be well spent and that the goal will be reached on time.
Review from Guidestar
My husband, two daughters and I have all been inspired by the work Scott Fifer and GO Campaign do to change the lives of the world's most vulnerable youth -- the kind of kids who often get left behind. With Scott's help, we have had remarkable, meaningful experiences fundraising for and volunteering at children's centers in Tanzania and Cambodia.
We've seen firsthand the difference GO makes, from sending kids to school to providing healthy food to giving them the tools to break the cycle of poverty and create their own future.
We've also seen what it means to these kids to know that Scott and GO are not only there today , but are committed to being there tomorrow.
Review from Guidestar
I have worked with Scott Fifer for many years now and know his personal commitment to creating solutions for under-served children was the key component in the establishment of the GO Campaign. His determination and efficient professional infrastructure continues to expand his impact, vision and capacity to assist children in need.
I seldom meet others so thorough and committed to a common vision, and backs this commitment up with real action and consistent dedicated work, all for the betterment of our local and global communities. Here's to many more successes for the GO Campaign!

GO Campaign is an incredible organization. Not only do they give 100% funds to at risk children around the globe, they offer trackable access to all their current campaigns on line. It's also an excellent charity and teaching tool for families. KIds can become GO Ambassadors, and really see how their contributions directly make positive, immediate change in the lives of their counterparts around the world.
Review from Guidestar
My wife found an orphanage and children's center outside of Nairobi, Kenya. She and her friends wanted to support the orphanage - which was in dire need of funding. They began to do so without the structure of a charity. Later - back in Los Anageles, one of the 4 women in the group met Scott Fifer the Executive Director/CEO of Go Campaign. He was persuaded in a meeting among us to visit the orphanage and after he did decided it fit into the picture of Go Campaign. Then, Go Campaign "adopted" the children's center and things began to happen. WE were able with "Go Campaign's help and dirve - raise the operating money for the next couple of years. Without them we could not have come close. The events they produce and the facilities (internet etc) which they provide - including the ability to donate on line - make it wonderful for us. The size of the individual projects they support would go unhelped with Go Cammpaign.
Review from Guidestar
GO Campaign is one of the most incredible organizations that I have ever come across. Everyone there is passionate and dedicated to helping those in need. Because the overhead costs are paid for, 100% of the donations that they get go straight to the organizations, which I think is very important, since that tends to be what you're raising money for in the first place. I love that they work directly with grassroots organizations in order to help communities help themselves, and which also allows them to give help more directly to those in need.
Also, GO has so many different projects in so many different places that anyone can find something that they are passionate about, rather than being limited to whatever project GO happens to be doing. They have done so much good in so many ways, and there is something that everyone can be passionate about, whether it's a country, an age group, or a specific kind of volunteering, like poverty or education. Furthermore, the people at GO are so supportive of all of the projects and volunteers, that they foster a passion in the volunteers themselves. Anytime I have ever needed help with anything, and every project that I've done, they have always given me the help and support that I needed to make my projects successful.
I first started working with GO campaign when I had the opportunity to meet three Tanzanian orphans that my neighbors were housing for a short period of time as a result of one of GO Campaign's projects. Meeting Thomas, Coleman, and Abdul and hearing their stories and outlooks on life change my life and the way that I looked at things, and inspired me to give back more. I started a club at my high school called Reaching Out to Africa (ROTA). We visited schools and gave interactive lessons to help raise awareness, and we also had fundraisers from bake sales to a huge carnival where we made all the games out of recycled goods.
More recently, I have been working through GO with HOPE, an organization that is working to educate children in Borgne, an area in rural Haiti. I have been very lucky in that not only is GO campaign the kind of organization that allows for you to be flexible and to become involved in any way and in any project that you want since they have so many different kinds of projects in so many different places, but they have been supportive of me every step of the way.
The folks at GO are incredibly hard working and, more importantly, incredibly honest. The money goes to where it is supposed to go...
By leveraging relationships with existing non-profits they make their money go farther.
I've worked with them specifically on endeavors in Cambodia. They have very willingly and ably coordinated with local organizations to maximize the impact of the dollars spent.
They aren't re-inventing the wheel, they are making it spin more efficiently!
