Dear UniversalGiving Supporters,
As we head into the holidays, I want to thank you. Thanksgiving is a time of giving gratitude, and the holidays are a special time with treasured family and friends. At UniversalGiving, we are so grateful for all the donors and volunteers who use our free service. As you know, 100% goes direct to the cause!
We have thousands of donors who have given to more than 200 countries and territories, reaching some of the most isolated areas of the world. We provide trusted ways to give for long-term development, or during a crisis situation. Our NGOs are responding right now to the typhoon in the Philippines; you can help them provide water and shelter, and emergency medical supplies.
UniversalGiving works with nonprofits that deliver the most impact to those in need. Many people don’t know about them. But this holiday, someone should. With UniversalGiving, you can reach a nonprofit leader working 12-hour days to provide scholarships for people to attend school, learn how to read, have safe childbirth, or plant a tree, through your thoughtful contributions.
Here are Two Ways you can make the holidays meaningful — and personalized.
1) Give Gifts to Multiple Friends in One Fell Swoop
We have gifts in broad array this year. You can reach outstanding nonprofits in Lebanon, Brazil, El Salvador, Norway, France or the hundreds of countries on our site. Give a gift that would best reflect your friend’s values or their heritage. Or, give a Gift that inspires you! Educate a friend on an issue they might not already know about.
2) Raise for A Cause: Create a Personalized Page
You can easily list the Projects or Organizations that mean the most to you. Send it to your friends and family, and your social networks. (We’ve made that easy for you!)
It’s not that you shouldn’t receive any physical gifts, but doing this will fill your heart, and plant a seed of giving in others’ minds…Be a part of UniversalGiving’s movement to “Create a World Where Giving and Volunteering Are a Natural Part of Everyday Life.”
As a Grateful CEO leading UniversalGiving, I thank you for your support on behalf of our nonprofit partners worldwide. Personalize your holidays this year through UniversalGiving—and affect many lives. Thank you and Much Gratitude!
A Grateful CEO,
Pamela Hawley
