Pangea to Participate in 2013 giveBIG

Wednesday, May 15 is The Seattle Foundation’s one-day online charitable giving event TSFGiveBIG2013_background
called GiveBIG. All donations made through the Foundation’s website on this day will be matched with funds from a “stretch pool” giving donors the opportunity to increase the value of their gift. In addition, donors will be selected at random to receive a “Golden Ticket” which awards an additional $1000 to the non-profit they have selected.

In 2012, Pangea’s share of the stretch pool was $3845, and helped make our 10th annual grant pool our largest to date: $140,600 will be awarded by the end of Pangea’s 10th grant cycle. Examples of community-led programs that Pangea’s investments will support include:

  • Empowerment of 120 Kenyan girls by supporting workshops where girls learn to differentiate between myths and facts on issues of female genital mutilation.
  • Health, legal and psycho-social services for women victims of violence in Guatemala.
  • Legal aid and rights awareness for Burmese immigrants living in Thailand

 

Please consider making a donation to Pangea during GiveBIG to continue improving the livelihoods for people in East Africa, SE Asia, and Central America!
