Pamela Hawley founded UniversalGiving as a nonprofit social enterprise to match donors and volunteers with international organizations.  The organization is a hybrid of Pamela’s passion for and experience in volunteer service, technology, international giving and global CSR. UniversalGiving generates revenue through its UniversalGiving Corporate program, which provides strategic and operational support to global companies and matches them with vetted NGO partners across the globe.  Its corporate program allows 100% of donations to go directly to recipients and provides the critical service of helping companies engage in corporate philanthropy and volunteering.
