Local challenges require local solutions -but the whole world can play a part in making these local solutions realities That's why we created Working Gifts.

Starting today, you can make a Working Gift that directly supports an initiative of people who have demonstrated the courage, creativity, and commitment to overcome the challenges they face. Working Gifts respond to concrete needs identified by local communities, and reflect The Institute of Cultural Affairs’ approach of comprehensive, participatory, sustainable human development.

Want to give friends, family members, and colleagues gifts that represent your
values and make a real difference?

Do you want to foster a team spirit and build community in you business,
school, or faith community?

Working Gifts give you the opportunity to make a gift that represents your values. With a wide selection of gifts to choose from, you can decide on a gift or a community that has a special meaning for your recipient.

For recipients, Working Gifts can be powerful learning tools and inspiring examples of the potential of ordinary people to transform their future for the better. Perfect for everyone on your list, Working Gifts are alternative gifts that teach, inspire, and keep on giving – on both ends.

For each gift you make, a photo card (electronic or hard copy) will be sent to the person you designate as the recipient, so that s/he knows that this empowering gift has been made in his/her name. This way, your recipient will be able to see their gift at work in the field. 
 
Special arrangements are also available for businesses, schools, faith communities, and other groups interested in sponsoring a large project.

Browse Working Gifts by category, country, price range, and gift idea.

Give everyone on your list the gift that gives again!
