Lets Finish the Job via GlobalGiving.com
Excerpted from the National Peace Corps Association WebsiteMany in the Peace Corps community remain motivated to alleviate the worst aspects of human suffering in todays world. A new initiative between the National Peace Corps Association (NPCA) and GlobalGiving.com gives us a proven tool to finish the job we started as volunteers eliminating global poverty through high-impact, grassroots projects.
GlobalGiving.com is a non-profit online marketplace for international giving, connecting individual and institutional donors directly to social and economic development projects and environmental causes around the world. Lets Finish the Job will provide training in fundraising and communications to interested RPCV groups and work with them to identify or develop their own projects. Groups can then promote their own projects on this customized Website, significantly expanding their reach to potential donors.
As a pilot, projects of two NPCA affiliate groups and one NGO with strong ties to the Peace Corps community are now posted on the GlobalGiving Web site. Click GlobalGiving.com to visit and explore NPCAs Global- Giving pages for the Friends of Thailand, Friends of Burkina Faso and High Atlas Foundation, as well as Tony Gambinos blog. Learn how GlobalGiving can be a powerful tool for the Peace Corps community!
