From Wikology - The Open Business Directory
GiveMeaning is the network for the $5 philanthropist. They believe that everyone cares about something, but most of us don’t think the small contribution we can individually afford could possibly make a difference. On top of this, many people are overwhelmed by the enormity of the problems looking for donations, so what we do is take an issue as big as say, cancer, and focus on achieving an objective that is tangible and within the realm of possibility - like a specific person’s treatment, or funding a support group, or even buying wigs or beauty supplies for someone who has lost their hair from chemo treatments.
GiveMeaning hosts web spaces (which are called GivingGroups) for these specific projects. A GivingGroup brings people together to accomplish and support each project; individuals can give money, time, supplies or simply spread the word - whatever the GivingGroup needs to accomplish its objective. They find these self-identifying communities grow quickly by word-of-mouth, and they take on a life of their own. Unlike other giving sites, 100% of all funds donated through the site go directly to the charities working to accomplish these projects; they don’t charge donors or charities any fees.
