About: GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.

Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, they know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met. Donations made through GlobalGiving are higher impact because:

• Money is going directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses;
• Projects on globalgiving.com have exposure to thousands of donors, enabling us to aggregate multiple sources of funding for each project;
• Many projects on globalgiving.com are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way We connect donors to projects via our « public » website, globalgiving.com as well as through custom giving services.

Process of gathering information for data base on women’s movement of Russia started in 1990 before the 1st Independent Women’s Forum. In the beginning it was just a card-index. Founders of data base were the Moscow Center for Gender Studies (Anastasia Posadskaya, Valentina Konstantinova, Zoya Khotkina, Tatiana Dorokhina); SAFO (Natalia Filippova, Natalia Abubikirova, Marina Regentova, Natalia Lebedeva, Valeria Tukmanova, Olga Lipovskaya, Tatiana Poddubnaya, Elena Morozova); employees of the Institute of Philisophy of Academy of Sciences (Olga Voronina, Tatiana Klimenkova). By the time of the 2nd Women’s Forum (December 1992) Elena Kochkina, Elena Maslova and Lidiya S. Scobtsova joined the team. Data base was transferred to Tatiana Troinova’s computer. Later, in 1993-1995 Women’s Informational Project (Archive, Data Base, Library – ADL) was in charge of data base. The project was sponsored by the government of Germany through Frauenanstiftung Foundation. Programmers Lidiya Yourovskaya and Tatiana Evstifeyeva led by Tatiana Troinova devoted their brains and hearts to the program product called ZHISET+ (ЖИСЕТ+). (full text).

Founded in 1920, Chatham House, officially known as The Royal Institute of International Affairs, is based in the heart of London. As a measure of its importance in the world of international relations, the name ‘Chatham House’ – the building – is now commonly used to refer to the organization. The listed building was home to three Prime Ministers (Pitt the Elder, Edward Stanley and William Gladstone) before being gifted to what was then the Institute of International Affairs in 1923.
