Charitable giving,
at home and abroad

America Gives is a US public charity that helps American donors support trusted charitable causes at home and worldwide — with full US tax-deductibility, transparent stewardship, and a streamlined donor advised fund built for global giving.

A US charity dedicated to global generosity.

America Gives Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity in the United States. Our mission is to strengthen American philanthropy by removing the friction that keeps American donors from supporting the domestic and international causes they care about — and to give recipient organizations a trusted, fully compliant US partner.

The problem we solve. Many of the most effective charitable organizations in the world are based outside the United States. American donors who want to support them can't claim a US tax deduction without going through a qualified intermediary. America Gives is that intermediary.

How we work. We accept donations from US individuals, companies, foundations, and donor advised funds, then make grants to vetted recipient charities in the U.S. and abroad — applying the same expenditure-responsibility and equivalency-determination standards required by US law.

Independent stewardship. Every grant decision is made by our board, in line with our charitable purposes, IRS rules, and donor recommendations. Donors retain advisory rights; legal control rests with America Gives.

501(c)(3) Public Charity Donations are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by US law.

Make every dollar count, wherever the need is.

We believe geography shouldn't dictate generosity. America Gives exists to ensure that American donors can give with confidence to high-impact charities worldwide — with the same legal protections, tax benefits, and transparency they expect from a US charity at home.

Our role is to be the bridge — between American generosity and the organizations doing extraordinary work, wherever they happen to be.

Cross-border fundraising.

A turnkey US fundraising channel for international charities. We let your American supporters give in dollars, claim a US tax deduction, and know their gift will be granted on to your organization following our diligence and approval process.

For international charities seeking US donors

America Gives partners with vetted charities outside the United States to provide a compliant pathway for US donations. Once approved, your supporters can give online, by check, by wire, by stock transfer, or from their existing donor advised fund — all to a US 501(c)(3).

  • Multiple payment methods including credit card, ACH, and DAF grants
  • Branded donation pages — donors give to your cause, not ours
  • Equivalency determination or expenditure responsibility on every grant
  • Transparent, low fees disclosed before donors give
