7. Make investments in first half of year if possible (so much funding is at the end of the year)
8. Tell NGOs early if you don’t plan to renew funding so they can plan
9. Make every effort to visit the work firsthand (especially internationally)

[One Sky Giving @OneSkyGiving]

When Erin Ganju of @echidnagiving came to speak with @OneSkyGiving about #girlseducation, she shared 9 tips on being a great donor:
1. Invest larger amounts in fewer organizations
2. Consider multi-year grants
3. Ask about their biggest challenges, help them break those barriers

[One Sky Giving @OneSkyGiving]

4. Be clear and specific on reporting and communication requirements
5. Be understanding and ask clarifying questions re missed goals or objectives
6. Give unrestricted funding (choose organizations you trust enough to know that they know where the funding should go)

Love the way Polaris keeps coming up with creative ways to combat human trafficking. So proud to be among their funders. #stoptrafficking

This #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay we're thankful for the opportunity to work with our partner @Delta to create an awareness campaign for airline customers - reaching new audiences who may have heard of human trafficking, but didn't know how to spot it or what to do if they did.

Tonite Cynthia Lloyd of @pop_council encouraged a focus on the learning that happens once girls are at school over just getting them there.
