JustGive Participatory Philanthropy

JustGive Participatory Philanthropy practices a different kind of philanthropy, one that gives people in need a seat at the decision-making table. JustGive doesn't assume that donors know best, that charity can be reduced to a mathematical formula, or that giving people money is the answer to every problem. Instead of donors making decisions behind closed doors, JustGive uses democratic decision-making to identify causes that people in need view as valuable and impactful. This approach not only ensures that charitable giving is tailored to what people actually need, but also gives recipients real voice in the decision-making process. In short, JustGive rejects paternalism and replaces it with genuine democracy.
