WELCOME!  YOU TOO CAN MAKE

A GREATER CONTRIBUTION! 

If you are yearning for a chance to make a difference, to make a greater contribution, read on!   We believe that regardless of skin color, gender, or nationality, we are all one and yet so many people around the world are struggling to live in unimaginably difficult conditions.  We believe that we all must begin to shift our thinking from a focus on "me" to a focus on "we".  We believe that by working together we can make a significant improvement in the lives of those almost 3 billion people struggling to live on less than $2/day. 

Margaret Mead said it best:  "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.   Indeed it's the only thing that ever has."

The Greater Contribution (TGC) is a non-profit agency founded by a small group of women seeking to make a 'greater contribution’  to the world by helping people suffering from hunger, poverty, disease, natural disasters and war.  We do this by raising awareness and funds to support developmental efforts and emergency relief around the world. We are also a vehicle for others who want to make a greater contribution to our world.  Please click on contact us to get involved.

Recognizing that we do not need to re-invent the wheel and after doing extensive research to find the most effective organization that best reflects our values (see Mission)  we have chosen to fight poverty by giving our support to some of the world’s leading humanitarian aid organizations.  CARE is one of those organizations. 

CARE, is a 60 year old humanitarian aid organization, fighting poverty in 74 countries around the world.  Known to many for it's CARE Packages following WWII,  CARE now places special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives. 91% of CARE’s revenue goes to programs that serve those most in need; only 9% goes to administration and fund raising.
