EPIC's Partners

Global Giving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.

Because they enable donors to give directly to projects, donors know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met.

The Conservation Alliance's mission is to engage outdoor businesses to help protect and conserve threatened wild places for their habitat and recreation values.
