3.  Much of what Opportunity International does
would not be possible without its many
supporters and volunteers, and the
organization welcomes help in many different
ways. One way of helping is by giving a gift
card; cards start at $10 and are used by the
organization’s clients to build businesses or
send their children to school. Given to specific
recipients, gift cards allow givers to include
personal notes. Funding a loan for a person or
family anywhere in the world also supports the
organization’s efforts. Loans help individuals
with everything from paying for food to
supporting investment in inventory.

4.  Additionally, fundraisers are a big part of
how Opportunity International generates
funds for its projects. The organization
makes it easy for interested individuals to
design and hold fundraisers by providing
ideas for a theme, cause, and goal, and by
including a basic outline of what to do to
ensure the event runs smoothly. Finally,
individuals may donate online or offline to
Opportunity International through planned
gifts, memorial gifts, and stock contributions.
