brand exposure: globalgiving

interested in how i'm finding the organizations i'm writing about?  sure you are.

who: globalgiving

where on the internet:  globalgiving.com 

when:  thursday at work

how:  i told my coworker about plum-valley and he said i should definitely check out mashable. turns out that they are hosting a Summer of Social Good. which, in and of itself, is so awesome it will get its own entry later :)  one of the partners for the event was globalgiving.  i'd never heard of them before and their involvement in this event gave me enough motivation to click the link.

so what:  this turned out to be one of those serendipitous things in life. one of the first things i do when i go to a site like this is visit their about me link. before i get caught up in your website's bells and whistles (or lack there of), i want to know what your mission is and who's on your team. 

1. the bells and whistles are there and they are fantastic. clean layout. navigation is a breeze. the tone of the site doesn't have that sally struthers gut-wrenching effect either. very up-beat and dare i say, cute. 

2. Vision:  Unleash the potential of people around the world to make positive change happen.

    Mission:  Build an efficient, open, thriving marketplace that connects people who have community and world-changing ideas with people who can support them.

3. professor harrison's strategic planning course made me care a lot about who a company entrusts to accomplish their mission. check out their bios and list of partners. it reads like the Dream Team that went to Barcelona in 1992. seriously.
