Summary: What's the difference between a single million-dollar donation versus a million one-dollar donations? With technological advances reducing transaction costs and increasing usage of P2P social networking sites, the Internet has fundamentally revolutionized education philanthropy, empowering information sharing to make giving by individuals much more targeted, transparent, and rewarding. This in-depth case study on Givology seeks to discuss microphilanthropy's implications for education, its benefits and limitations, potential risks, and future opportunities. This submission to the 2009 Education Without Borders Conference by Givology's CEO, Joyce Meng, won the "Best Paper Prize".
