Give a Little Green to combat global warming

GlobalGiving launched a new GlobalGiving Green initiative in honor of Earth Day, that includes a 50% matching donation on all gifts to this fund that helps reduce global warming in the U.S. and in the developing world.

Mari Kuraishi, President and co-founder of GlobalGiving said, "We can address the problems associated with climate change and achieve economic growth by identifying and investing in innovation that puts people to work or improves their livelihood while reducing harmful carbon emissions. GlobalGiving Green includes current projects in the developing world that fit this criteria and 'Give A Little Green' provides that extra incentive for individuals to support such projects now in this time of great need."

GlobalGiving Green is working towards creating a market-based incentive for green development, by helping to translate the demand for climate change solutions into a carbon-neutral path for development. Donors can connect directly to earth-changing grassroots projects, like supporting training in solar energy at a technical institute in Sierra Leone or cultivating forests in Indonesia, ensuring even the smallest donation goes a long way. "Give a Little Green" launched on April 4th, and will run through April 28th or until the $25,000 in matching funds has run out.

GlobalGiving (http://www.globalgiving.com/) is the leading online network for peer-to-peer philanthropy with a mission to sustain a high-powered marketplace for good that connects donors directly to the causes they care most about.
