WE ARE EXPANDING THE REACH OF OUR NGO PARTNERS AND THEIR DESERVING CAUSES BY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDIVIDUAL PHILANTHROPISTS, CORPORATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, AND UNIVERSITIES THAT SHARE OUR GOAL OF HELPING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. SOME RECENT PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE UNIVERSITIES, SUCH AS SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY, THAT PROVIDE LINKS TO OUR WEBSITE AND INTERNSHIP AND RETURNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. OTHER PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE FORBES, WHERE THE CEO WRITES ARTICLES ABOUT PHILANTHROPY, SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND HOW TO DONATE OR VOLUNTEER. A SIMILAR PARTNERSHIP IS WITH CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR WHERE THEY FEATURE ARTICLES FROM THE CEO ON PHILANTHROPY. UNVIERSALGIVING'S ARTICLES ARE PUBLISHED ON FORBES AND CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR TWICE PER MONTH. WE ARE CONSISTENTLY PIONEERING NEW INNOVATIVE WAYS TO HELP THE WORLD, SUCH AS MEDIAGIVES. MEDIAGIVES IS WHERE WE PARTNER WITH MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS TO INCREASE GIVING AND VOLUNTEERING. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR IS ONE OF OUR TOP MEDIAGIVES PARTNERS THROUGH THEIR "PEOPLE MAKING A DIFFERENCE" ARTICLES. AFTER SOMEONE IS INSPIRED BY READING AN ARTICLE OR WATCHING A VIDEO ABOUT PHILANTHROPY, A LINK IS PROVIDED FOR THEM TO GIVE AND VOLUNTEER ON UNIVERSALGIVING. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER THEY READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT A CRISIS IN SUDAN THEY CAN THEN TAKE ACTION THROUGH UNIVERSALGIVING AND DONATE OR VOLUNTEER WITH ONE OF OUR NGO PARTNERS IN SUDAN. MEDIAGIVES PARTNERSHIPS PROMOTE HUNDREDS OF OUR NGO PARTNERS, MAKING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE MORE AWARE OF THEIR DESERVING CAUSES. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ALSO TAKE ACTION AND GIVE OR VOLUNTEER, THUS INCREASING THE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY OF OUR PARTNERS. WE ALSO WORK WITH ORGANIZATIONS, HELPING THEM PROMOTE AND FACILITATE GIVING THROUGH PUBLIC SPEAKING EVENTS. PAMELA HAWLEY SPEAKS ON SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AT MANY EVENTS AND VENUES INCLUDING STANFORD AND DUKE UNIVERSITY WHERE SHE DISCUSSED SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP, QUALITY PHILANTHROPY, AND UNIVERSALGIVING'S MISSION. OTHER PARTNERSHIPS INCLUDE SOCAP, WOMEN 2.0, DUKE I&E'S INITIATIVE DEAR PAMELA, AND AMAZONSMILE. UNIVERSALGIVING ALSO WORKS WITH SYNERGOS, A GROUP OF HIGH-NET WORTH DONORS HELPING THEM GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY IN MORE THAN 40 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD. ALL OF THE THESE PARTNERSHIPS ARE BRINGING NEW DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS TO HUNDREDS OF OUR NGO PARTNERS. ADDITIONALLY, UNIVERSALGIVING HAS A NEWSLETTER THAT GOES TO 40,000 CONTACTS. NEWSLETTER CONTENT IS DEVOTED TO GLOBAL CAUSES AND FEATURES OUR NGO PARTNERS AND THEIR INITIATIVES. THE CEO ALSO HAS A BLOG CALLED LIVING AND GIVING (HTTP://PAMELAHAWLEY.WORDPRESS.COM/). LIVING AND GIVING'S MISSION IS TO "INSPIRE LEADERS TO LIVE WITH EXCELLENCE AND LOVE." UNIVERSALGIVING IS ALSO ACTIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. WE FOUND THAT SOCIAL MEDIA CREATES BRIDGES FOR US TO ENGAGE WITH PEOPLE OR ORGANIZATIONS THAT WOULD LIKE TO HELP. WE ARE USING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS SUCH AS INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, PINTEREST AND TWITTER. OUR SOCIAL MEDIA RESULTS REFLECT A 25% INCREASE IN LIKES ON FACEBOOK IN 2018. IN 2018, WE ALSO CREATED PINTEREST PAGES TO SHOWCASE UNIVERSALGIVING'S PRESS PARTNERSHIPS, AWARDS, AND NGO PARTNERS. WE PLAN ON CONTINUING OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT OUR NGO PARTNERS AND GLOBAL ISSUES. 153001 0 0 UNIVERSALGIVING REGULARLY PARTNERS WITH ORGANIZATIONS, PROVIDING OUR SERVICES TO HELP THEM GIVE AND VOLUNTEER WITH TOP-PERFORMING NONPROFITS. ONE OF THE BEST WAYS WE DO THIS IS HELP COMPANIES, THEIR EMPLOYEES OR FOUNDATIONS KNOW WHICH NGOS TO GIVE TO. UNIVERSALGIVING LEVERAGES ITS EXPERTISE AND CORE COMPETENCY OF VETTING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND PROJECTS TO RECOMMEND NGOS FOR FUNDING TO CORPORATE FOUNDATIONS AND TO DONORS. THEREFORE, WE PROVIDE MORE VALUE TO CORPORATIONS, EMPLOYEES, EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERS AND DONORS AS THEY CAN BE ENSURED THEIR FUNDS ARE GOING TO THE BEST NGOS. FOR EXAMPLE, WE HELPED A COMPANY DONATE BACKPACKS AND SCHOLARSHIPS TO SCHOOL CHILDREN AMIDST A CIVIL WAR IN GUINEA. NO OTHER FOUNDATION OR DONOR ADVISED FUND WOULD TAKE ON THE PROJECT AND WE FOUND A LOCAL NGO TO ACHIEVE THE COMPANY'S VISION. WE HELP OUR NGOS BY PRESENTING THEM TO COMPANIES FOR THEIR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROGRAMS. THIS INCREASES AWARENESS ABOUT THESE NGOS, HELPS THEM WITH FUNDING AND HELPS THEM WITH MORE CORPORATE VOLUNTEERS. THE SAME HOLDS TRUE IN OUR WORK WITH UNIVERSITIES, FOUNDATIONS AND DONORS. BY ENSURING THESE ENTITIES' GIVING AND VOLUNTEER IS EFFECTIVE, WE ARE FURTHER BROADENING UNIVERSALGIVING'S MISSION TO "CONNECT PEOPLE WITH QUALITY GIVING AND VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD." SOME OF UNIVERSALGIVING'S CORPORATE PARTNERS INCLUDE CISCO, RSF SOCIAL FINANCE, BHP, AND GAP. 388663 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 9 1 0 1 CJ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X THE ORGANIZATION 4152969193 655 MONTGOMERY STREET NO 7-102 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94111 PAMELA HAWLEY FOUNDER & CEO 70.00 X X 108000 0 0 ALAN OLSEN TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 COLE WILBUR SECRETARY 4.00 X X 0 0 0 ANANTHA CHANDRAKASAN DIRECTOR (TO 07/18) 2.00 X 0 0 0 CAROLE KLOVE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS KIBARIAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE LETTS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN GILBERT DIRECTOR (TO 05/18) 4.00 X 0 0 0 PETER SAMUELSON DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 RANDY BEST DIRECTOR 8.00 X 0 0 0 ROB RYAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT GOLDBERG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SCOTT REHMUS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 108000 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 577435 577435 12742 12742 590177 0 0 12742 X 108000 95903 7595 4502 36780 31871 2651 2258 31357 22468 6153 2736 83656 83656 25100 9000 16100 15593 7792 7801 67027 66691 336 6974 3219 3755 1272 1272 3640 3640 41918 41918 7037 7037 150 150 3463 3463 NGO SERVICES 34354 34354 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 22882 22882 489203 388663 91044 9496 642060 355284 1642991 2362329 1317 83485 0 821 2431 2431 2289620 2803529 477 24562 18678 62133 174670 81288 199232 X 0 0 0 0 2208332 2604297 2208332 2604297 2289620 2803529 100974 294991 0 X 0 0 0 X 934143 1749055 745551 818352 577435 4824536 934143 1749055 745551 818352 577435 4824536 2246512 2578024 583 3017 3147 9159 12742 28648 4853184 0.53120 0.60940 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 DUE TO NON GOV'T ORGANIZATIONS 174670 174670 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY DELOITTE TAX LLP, AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM.
