MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT IN COLORED GEMSTONE MINING AND CUTTING COMMUNITIES.
Gems Keep Giving is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting artisanal coloured gemstone mining and cutting communities around the world. We work with partners on the ground to help fund practical projects that respond to local needs, improve lives, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we believe the beauty of coloured gemstones should also create positive change for the communities they come from. This is consistent with the organization’s stated mission and vision in your reference documents.
Artisanal and small-scale colored gemstone miners are responsible for approximately 80% of the world’s colored gemstone production. They are a critical force in the global gem and jewelry industry, living and working under difficult circumstances driven by poverty and facing many challenges. With your help, we will make a positive impact, one community at a time, building and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Gems Keep Giving partners with artisanal coloured gemstone mining and cutting communities worldwide to fund projects that meet local needs, protect resources, and improve lives. We seek support from across the coloured gemstone community to help turn compassion into action.
We believe that well-designed, well-managed projects can have an enduring positive impact on both people and the environment in gemstone-producing communities. By sharing these stories and building trusted partnerships, we hope to inspire broader support and long-term change.
We support projects that are grounded in real local needs and guided by clear criteria, including community relevance, local support, accountability, and the ability to monitor progress on the ground. We work closely with trusted local stakeholders and partners to help ensure that every contribution is used with care.

Our work is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These goals help us frame our priorities and support initiatives that can improve health, education, access to clean water, responsible resource use, and long-term community wellbeing. Your mission and homepage both explicitly reference the SDGs.
