December POMC

Here in D.C. we had our first snow last week, and our office has just been decorated for the holidays! There’s no denying: it’s now December. We are in the final month of 2014, and it really has been a great year. As the Project of the Month Club, you’ve come together to give more than $65,720 this year! This is truly remarkable!

Last month, you and 190 other club members donated $6,427 to Move For Hunger to“Help Us Fight Hunger in America.” Your support helped to coordinate food drives, enhance collection capacity and add new partners!

This month your donations will go to Dream A Dream’s project, “Empowering Vulnerable Young People with Life Skills.” This project reaches out to 4,000 youth in Bangalore, India to provide quality educational programming, including sports, arts, and mentoring.

Vishal from Dream a Dream was so excited to learn that his project was chosen. “Thank you very much indeed,” he said. “This is absolutely fantastic news. We are delighted to be selected. The universe has mysterious ways to demonstrate its support and encourage us to go on in our work and your support comes at a time when we most needed it. The support will help 100 young people from the most vulnerable communities in Bangalore, India to attend a 4-day experiential camp that will help them develop the critical Life Skills needed to overcome adversities in their life and learn to make healthy life choices as they enter adolescence. It is a strong validation for our work and we are deeply grateful for your support.”

From us and from all of the people you have helped this year, thank you! See you in 2015!

Warmly,

Mari and the team at GlobalGiving

Project of the Month Update: November 2014

Prajwala

Between the colorful piles of leaves on the ground in the U.S. and the unmistakable start of holiday cheer, it’s clear: we have entered November! In the spirit of Thanksgiving we are giving thanks this month for what we have and are reminded of the importance of giving back. You don’t need the reminder though, because you’re all a step ahead of the giving season with your generous support of the Project Of the Month Club! As always, we at GlobalGiving and the nonprofits you support are thankful for you.

Last month, 182 of you came together to give over $6,000 to Prajwala’s “Therapeutic Community for 600 Sex Trafficked Victims” in Hyderabad, India. They are grateful for your support, which helped bring medical and psychological care as well as academic opportunity to these young survivors of abuse.

This month your donations will go to Move For Hunger’s project, “Help Us Fight Hunger in America,” which brings nonperishable foods to local food banks.

When told they had been chosen for Project of the Month Club, Project Leader Kristy Redford shared that, “Move For Hunger is honored to be selected…with 50 million Americans struggling to find their next meal, there is still so much work to be done in the fight against hunger. This additional funding will enable the Move For Hunger team to grow our food collection program and deliver additional food to community food banks across North America and to those most in need. With the support of our amazing donors and projects like this, we have been able to deliver over 3,700,000 pounds of food to date. We are incredibly grateful for this project to help us increase our impact.”

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Project of the Month Club. And a reminder: during this month of thanksgiving, remember how many people give thanks for your generosity.

Warmly,

Mari and the team at GlobalGiving
