Givology

Givology is a P2P online marketplace that directly connects donors to students and grassroots projects worldwide. Founded in 2008, Givology partners with leading grassroots non-profit organizations, local communities, and schools to sponsor education grants and innovative community-based education projects. The platform allows users to support initiatives and scholarships after browsing through student and project profiles, enabling them to donate any amount at their discretion. Givology's approach eliminates monthly pledges, donation minimums, and check-writing hassles. Once a student or project is fully-funded, the platform transfers the funds to its field partners. Givology's philosophy emphasizes building lasting sponsor-student relationships and cross-cultural communication, allowing users to send messages to students and receive updates on their progress. The platform also offers insights into key rural education issues through blog posts. Givology makes giving easy, transparent, and rewarding by ensuring that sponsors can track the impact of their contributions on the lives of individuals or communities.
