Grants to this Grantee
for the Feedback Labs program
Hosted by the GlobalGiving Foundation and launched with seed funding from a previous Foundation grant, Feedback Labs is a collaboration among fifteen organizations active in international development and philanthropy. The members seek to shorten the feedback loops between beneficiary populations, donors, and implementers to improve the way nonprofits, social enterprises, aid agencies, and private funders operate. In addition to staffing the collaboration, the grant will support the rapid prototyping and testing of at least two new feedback approaches, and allow Feedback Labs to explore turning the collaboration into a distinct legal entity.
for support of the Ebola Epidemic Relief Fund
GlobalGiving is a charity fundraising website that gives social entrepreneurs and nonprofits from anywhere in the world a chance to raise the money that they need to improve their communities. This grant provides resources for regranting to community-based organizations for medical supplies to care for those already infected, protective equipment to keep health workers safe, and educational campaigns to inform the public about Ebola and how it spreads.
for the videoconferencing project
A videoconferencing grant to the GlobalGiving Foundation will support the purchase and installment of high definition audio and video equipment in two large and two medium-sized conference rooms at GlobalGiving's headquarters in Washington, D.C. It will also support technology that will be used to conduct remote interviews, trainings, webinars, and one-on-one video conferences with project partners around the world. Finally it will support a remote presence device called "The Double" that will improve communications with GlobalGiving staff who are not based in their DC office.
