UniversalGiving™ is an award-winning nonprofit allowing people to donate and volunteer with top performing, vetted organizations all over the world. At UniversalGiving, all organizations are vetted with a proprietary Quality Model™. People can give a $50 gift to sponsor literacy efforts in Cameroon, fund a project to support health clinics in America, or volunteer to support community projects in Mexico. They create fundraising pages to raise money for their favorite organizations, gifts, and projects, on their birthday or other celebrations. Unique to UniversalGiving, 100% of your donation goes direct to the cause. 

UniversalGiving has been featured on the homepage of BusinessWeek, Oprah.com, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times. We’ve won the Jefferson Award (the Nobel Prize in Community Service) and have been invited to three Social Innovation events at the White House.
