In 2017, we set out on a journey to put in one place high-quality content on giving, and prime your hunger to give with impact. We launched Giving Compass as an experiment. A little more than a year later, we’re excited to share with you what we have learned.

Highlights include:

  • Giving Compass is rapidly becoming a knowledge hub for philanthropy, with over 17,000 pieces of high-quality curated and original content searchable and served up to our audience. We are making significant progress toward our goal of being “better than Google” on any topic in philanthropy.
  • You are coming to learn! More than 200,000 unique visitors came to tap into guidance for giving with impact, as well as to dive deeper into a range of issue areas, including disaster relief and women and girls.
  • Through our partnerships, Giving Compass is able to connect you to an array of experts in the philanthropic space.
  • The success of Giving Compass has spawned additional tools for donors including Giving Planner, a web app that allows donors to plan, track, and analyze their giving.
  • Original content has allowed us to react to domestic and world events with sound, practical advice.

    How Can Immigrant Scientists Give Back to Their Homelands?

    Giving Compass' Take: • The author discusses how immigrant scientists from India can help their home country by speaking at conferences whenever they visit because sharing knowledge is an important tool for awareness. • What more can immigrant scientists do from abroad to help their countries? • Read about the study conducted by Urban Institute about the economic impact of immigrants in the United States. Immigrant scientists know that India has more people living in rural areas without access to clean water than any other country. Nearly half of India’s rural population lack access to toilets, and 240 million people live without electricity. India also underperforms in medical research. These challenges are not easy for any country, and overseas scientists can help. How? First, we don’t need invitations to help our own homeland. The easiest way to begin, in my experience, is by giving lectures in institutes and conferences whenever we visit India. This platform is great for sharing our knowledge, inspiring students, and helping establish connections with scientists and institutions. We could also remotely mentor Indian students. I have materials that I frequently share on how to apply for fellowships, how to publish, and how to teach. Another way to contribute is to blog and write op-eds in Indian media about topics that we care about and have expertise in. I mostly write about the TB problem in India, and make time for Indian journalists. It is helpful to go beyond pointing out the problems and offer constructive solutions on what can be done.
