About Jolkona:
Jolkona is a start-up non-profit organization that allows people to choose how they impact the world through small donations (starting at just $5!), and unlike other micro-giving websites, they provide a tangible proof of impact for every donation received. For example, if you spend $40 to educate a girl in Afghanistan for one year, you will receive a photo of the girl being sponsored by your donation as well as a copy of her report card at the end of the school year. This is all done over the web on their platform. Jolkona's mission is to connect people with global philanthropic opportunities and show the impact of one's donations. The website was launched to the public in June 2009 with a goal of making giving more interactive, transparent and engaging for all donors, regardless of age and income.

Jolkona harnesses the support of 20+ young skilled-based professional volunteers who are passionate about their mission. Their demographic is the youth and young professionals in order to foster the next generation of micro-philanthropists
