Panel 2
WHATʼS GOLDENGIVING.ORG ALL ABOUT?
GoldenGiving.org is a community-inspired Website that helps its
members find, support and review charitable organizations in the San
Francisco Bay Area.
Itʼs possible to evaluate an organizationʼs financial information, and
thatʼs no fun. Most prefer to avoid those colorful emotional appeals
we get in the mail. Are we really expected to give so impulsively?
VISUAL: A pile of random bulk mail.
When you want to know about a restaurant, you read the reviews. So
why not read reviews and ratings of charitable organizations too?

2. Panel 3
GO AHEAD AND REVIEW THE ORGANIZATIONS YOU TRUST
Donʼt stop at finding organizations you care about. Contribute your
own reviews and ratings to help others connect with a cause you can
all support together.
“GoldenGiving.org helped me locate an organization that does just
what Iʼm looking for, representing the values I personally believe in.
Turned out, a friend of mine actually reviewed an organization that I
felt like I would contribute to, as well as support with my time”
Mary Walker, from the Richmond District of San Francisco
VISUAL: Picture of someone handing a ready-made meal to an
elderly woman at the door.
VISUAL CAPTION: (Giving Is About More Than Contributing Cash)

NO MORE DOUBTS ABOUT WHERE TO GIVE!
GoldenGiving.orgʼs mission is to stimulate active involvement in
organizations endorsed by its members who may freely contribute
their experiences, ratings, and encourage others to contribute in the
organizations they personally endorse.
“There is inherent potential for the community to provide increased
accountability and awareness to Bay Area non-profits.
GoldenGiving.org remains independent from financial evaluations,
and depends entirely on its community to evaluate NPOʼs instead.”
Kevin Davison, Founder, GoldenGiving.org
GoldenGiving.org will not alter member comments and ratings unless
other users collectively dispute them democratically.
GoldenGiving.org does not endorse any single NPO itself, holds an
objective and non-biased position, and does not accept any
contributions from any charities its members evaluate.
