About CLAW

At the Celebrate Life Around The World Foundation (CLAW), we connect grassroots organizations in underserved regions to the funding, skills, and global partnerships they need to create sustainable impact.

With the support of our founder, Steve Brandstetter, we have established a global network of over 100 grassroots organizations and institutional partners since June 2025. Our partners span 4 continents, mostly concentrated in South East Asia, East Africa, and West Africa:

In line with our mission, we have begun to implement several low cost, high impact initiatives:

Through the Empower Together Initiative, we have engaged over 30 NGO partners in free capacity building workshops on grant writing, annual reporting, and Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Power BI.
Through the Blossom Care Maternal Health Initiative, we have collaborated with our partners in Bangladesh and Uganda to prepare to pilot NUVO’s INVU remote pregnancy monitoring technology in rural communities.
Through the American Goodwill Initiative, we have distributed our “Celebrate Life with a Smile” wristbands and other small gifts to 50 partners to strengthen our global network.
Through the Global Stories Initiative, we have collected 70 impact videos from our partner organizations to promote the varying ways in which they are supporting or hope to support their communities. The top video submissions received small unrestricted grants (‘microgrants’), which our partners are using to cover their operating or program expenses.

Show the World the Power of Compassion

Given the immense impact we have seen with the Global Stories Initiative, our goal is to expand this program by distributing more microgrants to our partners who submit impact videos.

With your support, the Compassion Without Borders Campaign aspires to raise $10,000 in order to sustain and expand the Global Stories Initiative for the coming year.

$5 or $10 may be a simple meal in the United States, but for many, it can be a life-changing resource.

With every dollar you donate, you will empower our partners to deliver immediate, high impact relief to their communities. Moreover, you will tell a community thousands of miles away that they are seen, heard, and not alone.

100% of donations will go directly to vetted grassroots NGOs. CLAW will provide Beneficiary Reports via Email upon disbursement of the donations and organizational implementation. These reports will include storytelling through photos and videos.
