Giving Joy stands out as an organization that consistently transforms your contributions into a multiplied impact on women, families, and communities worldwide.

What distinguishes us from the rest?

• Giving Joy takes a hands-on approach to philanthropy. We directly engage with our grant recipients, fostering personal connections through regular communication. These relationships enable us to monitor use of funds and tailored coaching and mentorship throughout and beyond the grant period.

• In contrast to larger organizations, our small and nimble structure ensures that every dollar donated goes directly to funding grants rather than getting lost in bureaucratic overhead.

• Our international board members, each possessing deep experience in international development, synergize with Giving Joy's agile structure to ensure a rapid turnaround of grants. A testament to this efficiency is our accomplishment of awarding grants to Afghan women entrepreneurs within an impressive 2-month timeframe after the Taliban assumed control of the country in 2021.

• Every application round sees Giving Joy receiving approximately 8000 applications from 70 different countries. This influx is a clear indicator of the unmet demand for micro grants, which serve as catalysts for initiating or expanding businesses, fostering business skills, and raising awareness about women's issues on a global scale.
