Online Giving Site Promotes Green Projects

GlobalGiving, a Web site where donors give money to support international charitable projects, is adding a new section to allow donors to support environmentally friendly international projects, reports The New York Times.

The group used a grant from the Packard Foundation to hire EcoSecurities Consulting, a company that develops carbon-trading programs intended to help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, to assist in finding projects that would help limit carbon emissions.

For example, one such project would bring fuel-efficient stoves to homes in Honduras, limiting smoke inhalation and carbon emissions and improving family health.

To read more about efforts charities of all kinds are making to be environmentally friendly, see Charity Goes Green, a recent article from The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
