Local Giving Gone Global

Here, Koch talks more about GlobalGiving and its role in nonprofit fundraising.

FundRaising Success: How do you solicit contributions?
Allison Koch: GlobalGiving retains 10 percent of the donation that comes in, and then 85 percent to 90 percent is disbursed to the project level (a nominal fee to cover the cost of transferring funds overseas may apply). GlobalGiving aspires to become a self-sustaining, self-scaling entity based on the 10 percent we collect from donations. In the meantime, we rely on grant money to get us to break even, and we’re planning to achieve breakeven within the next five years.
