Crowdfunded Charity Hubs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Global Girls Alliance Hub Comes From the Obama Foundation

— October 12, 2018 — Social Good
In an effort to provide more educational access to girls around the world, the Obama Foundation's Global Girls Alliance will be partnering with GoFundMe to create a Global Girls Alliance hub. The decision to enact this partnership came as it supported a model more focused on grassroots leaders. According to Tiffany Drake, director of the Global Girls Alliance, this model was chosen so that "donors can see and support real people and real projects."

While the Global Girls Alliance hub serves mainly as a fundraising tool, it also showcases itself as a distinct awareness builder. The projects are all laid out on the hub and all tackle barriers that impede girls in society. There are currently five projects available on the Glocal Girls Alliance hub that range from “mentoring girls in Uganda to hiring educators in India to covering school-related expenses for girls in Guatemala.”
Trend Themes
1. Crowdfunding for Education - The partnership between the Global Girls Alliance and GoFundMe opens opportunities for other organizations and causes to crowdfund educational projects.
2. Grassroots-led Philanthropy - The shift towards supporting grassroots efforts in philanthropy will lead to a stronger emphasis on locally-led projects that are more in touch with the particular needs of a community.
3. Online Awareness Building - The Global Girls Alliance hub demonstrates the potential for online platforms to be a powerful tool in raising awareness for a cause and the projects implemented to fulfill it.
Industry Implications
1. Philanthropic Organisations - Philanthropic organizations can explore partnerships with crowdfunding platforms to promote grassroot-led causes and maximize the positive impact of their initiatives.
2. Education - The education sector can benefit from this model of crowdfunding for specific projects and address inequalities in educational access worldwide.
3. Marketing and Advertising - Marketing and advertising industries can leverage online platforms and social media to promote grassroots-led initiatives and increase awareness for various causes.
