Global Gifts That Matter (GGTM) is a holiday gift online store produced by the Global Giving Circle (GGC). The Global Giving Circle is a network of individuals who come together to support creative solutions to alleviate poverty. We believe anyone can be philanthropist, and that small contributions and actions can add up to big results. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for giving that are accessible, fulfilling, inspiring, and fun! The GGC leadership body consists of artists, activists, media professionals, social entrepreneurs, education and healthcare professionals who in 2009 are all volunteering their time to change the face of giving.
