SmallCanBeBig makes Boston Globe Magazine’s list of the “Best of the New”

So exciting… we made the Boston Globe Magazine’s “Best of the New” issue. SmallCanBeBig.org was listed as one of the Best New Ideas of 2009.

Also here is a mention by Susanne Althoff the Editor.

“Direct Charity SmallCanBeBig.org takes a new approach to helping local families on the brink of homelessness: The focus is on small, direct donations. Created by Waltham-based ad agency Boathouse Group, the website works with a dozen charitable organizations to find cases where a one-time monetary donation can be pivotal (for example, $2,000 for mortgage or rent payments missed due to a job loss). The entire gift goes to the recipient, and donors decide how much to give and to whom. Since its launch, the site has saved about a hundred families from eviction or foreclosure.”
