Ways to Give

 

There are many ways to support VE Global. Whether you are a student, a potential volunteer, a business professional, or simply someone who wants to do something good, you can make a difference at VE Global! 

Individuals:
Individual donors are essential to VE Global’s continued success. More than 85% of our annual operating budget comes from individual donations, and their support provides the base for our volunteers and programs to grow and better serve the children of Chile. VE Global is deeply grateful to all whose generosity makes possible the work that we do.

Foundations and Corporate Funders:
VE Global receives program support from a small but dedicated group of organizations committed to provide equality of opportunity to children. To view or past foundation and corporate partnerships and explore future partnership opportunities, click here.

Donations of Goods:
We also happily receive donations of goods to distribute amongst our institutions and special projects. By and large our institutions are under-funded and certain supplies are in constant demand. Amongst our most required items are donations such as school supplies such as pens, rulers, scissors and paper. Also in high demand are personal hygiene supplies such as shampoo, diapers, sanitary towels and toothbrushes. Likewise, we accept donations of clothes,  games, toys and books (in Spanish!). If you would like to make a donation or need more information, please email Chris Wiggins at cwiggins@ve-global.org.
