GlobalGiving and Zahana

GlobalGiving is a second avenue for Zahana to raise US-tax deductible donation on-line since November 2008. Zahana has currently three projects with GlobalGiving:

Thank you for your support. The bonus day challenge held on June 16, 2010 is over. For the first time in GlobalGivings history the matching funds were depleted before the end of one of their challenges. Check out the ledger board for details.

What is Bonus Day at Global Giving?

• The next Bonus Day is schdueld for December 16, 2010 and your donations will be matched until all the matching funds are depleted.

• October 2010 will see a "Give More, Get More" Matching Campaign

More about GlobalGiving:

Global Giving is an innovative website where, after a rigorous due diligence process, small international non-profits can raise tax-deductible donations in the USA. Not everybody is able to partner with the Tides Foundation as a fiscal sponsor, which has made Zahana’s work possible in the first place since 2005.

On the Global Giving website donors select projects they want to support, can make a tax-deductible contribution, and get regular progress updates - so they can see their impact. All donations and tax-deductible receipts are handled by Global Giving and the money gets transferred directly to Madagascar.

Why GlobalGiving for Zahana?

GlobalGiving holds an annual competition, called the “GlobalGiving Open”. To increase exposure for Zahana we applied for the Open in November 2007, after our last visit to Madagascar.

In August we were invited to participate in the GlobalGiving’s “Project Challenge 2008”, suggesting one project, trying to earn a permanent presence in the GlobalGiving database. We had to try, or forever regret it for not daring.

We filled out the necessary paperwork (quite a bit) and created our GlobalGiving website contribution right before the world’s financial markets stated to crumble. With your help we met $3,000/75 donors challenge threshold and Zahana earned a now permanent presence on the GlobalGiving website.
