GO Campaign

GO Campaign, a registered nonprofit, improves the lives of orphans and vulnerable children throughout the developing world. We pursue our mission by partnering with local grassroots organizations that provide children in need with the care and services - such as food, shelter, health care, education, vocational skills and the love - they require to survive and thrive. Since 2008, GO has funded over 35 projects in 15 countries, and within days of the 2010 Haiti earthquake GO mobilized two airplanes of medical supplies and raised over $65,000 for emergency relief to children.

GO raises awareness and funds for small organizations because of their proven ability to improve the lives of the children that depend on them, yet they are falling through the cracks and are in need of resources. Working directly with our partners on the ground, we ensure every dollar is spent nurturing youth, implementing sustainable solutions and contributing to community development.
