December 13, 2012  Greetings! What can be better than linking giving to your grandchildren with giving to a child in need, especially at the holidays? Global Grandmothers rests on this concept, and your comments testify that it has struck a chord. - "I love this idea. Each year we give each of our six grandchildren $100 at Thanksgiving and ask them to choose a charity, preferably global. Last March we had the pleasure of visiting "garbage city" outside of Cairo because our granddaughter had chosen to send her money to a school there." Grandmother from Hailey, Idaho.
- "I have four grandchildren and a fifth on the way. I was an activist in the 60's and I was looking for a way to help the world. Global Grandmothers seemed like a way for me to feel involved. I plan to match each gift to my grandchildren with a gift to one of your recommended organizations." Grandmother from San Francisco, California.
- "I am so happy to be a supporter of Global Grandmothers! My 3 grandbabies are all learning early about sharing and giving." Grandmother from Sacramento, California.
Don't forget about the tools we offer you to realize these goals. - Recommended charities,a tab on the Global Grandmothers website that links you to charities vetted based on their effective support of children. See www.globalgrandmothers.org for the whole picture.
- The Kids' Page which is a fun way to increase kids' global awareness and to involve them in giving. Click here to see for yourself.
- The Kid's Passport of Giving which you can print out to start keeping track of your GG charitable giving with your grandchild. Find it on the "Kids' Page."
  - A Blog found on the last tab of the navigation bar. You can make a comment by entering your name and email address. We think this will become a valuable center for exchanging relevant information.
May you enjoy a warm and bountiful holiday as you make the world better for those near and far! Diana McDonough President Global Grandmothers |
