All projects in this catalog are world-changing, but not all will receive the same popular response. The cooperative fund Where Needed Most goes to help the projects that earn the least dollars. In recent years, this fund has allowed ALTERNATIVE GIFTS INTERNATIONAL (AGI) to distribute between $12,000 and $30,000 among lesser-funded agencies.

After confirming the stability of each agency and their specific project, AGI sends a check representing 90% of funds received from donors as designated gifts from the past catalog fundraising year.

Additionally, AGI’s Emergency Disaster Relief Fund is allocated when natural disasters occur. Funds have been distributed following earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme cold or famine, and urgent situations when refugees and displaced persons are in immediate need.

Our greatest goal is to bring aid and attention to all the projects in this catalog. This fund helps causes in need.
