A Little Giving that Goes a Long Way
Through our partnership with GlobalGiving, we enable you to donate to high-quality, high-impact projects. Taking this approach and giving directly enables more funding to reach the projects we offer. In fact, a full 90 percent of your donation goes directly to the projects you select, a significantly higher percentage than is typical for traditional aid channels. The net result? STI delivers a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.
Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, you will know exactly where your money is going. The donations you make are higher impact because the money you donate goes directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses. In addition, many of the projects we're featuring are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way.
