There are just two days left in this change-filled, unprecedented month of March. With all the news and uncertainty of COVID-19, we still can show the world what it means to think beyond our borders and support a global community, amid a crisis that affects us all.
Whatever you can contribute now, know that every dollar you give to Mercy Corps will be amplified to create the biggest change possible, as every $1 you donate is combined with an average of $4 in separate grant and foundation funding. Since 2015, Mercy Corps has been able to raise an average of $4 in government and foundation grants compared to every $1 in individual gifts. Your gift today will be combined with grants from other sources, enabling us to provide even more lifesaving assistance to people in crisis around the world. What we do together works. Not only are we providing essentials like soap and clean water to help keep people safe from deadly diseases like COVID-19, we’re creating long-term solutions that empower tough, smart, capable people in the communities we serve. We only have until midnight TOMORROW to hit our $88,000 goal — so we’re going to need your help to empower families in crisis. Give now, and don’t forget that when your $1 joins an average of $4 in government and foundation grants, we can have up to 5 times the impact! By helping today, you’ll be giving families around the world the tools and knowledge they need to protect themselves from this growing pandemic, and prepare a brighter future.

Around the world, families are doing the best they can to confront devastating challenges like conflict, poverty and natural disasters. Our teams are telling us that rapidly spreading COVID-19 will make these challenges so much worse. We’re already helping at-risk communities around the world—more than 7.7 million people last year—to access soap and clean water for hand washing, and providing support for other vital hygiene and sanitation needs. Improved hygiene practices could help save people from a debilitating disease outbreak where they live, but we need to do more — and be ready for anything. You can help. Make a gift today and together, we can have up to 5 TIMES THE IMPACT. Since 2015, Mercy Corps has been able to raise an average of $4 in government and foundation grants compared to every $1 in individual gifts. Your gift today will be combined with grants from other sources, enabling us to provide even more lifesaving assistance to people in desperate circumstances. Your gift can make a difference in so many ways around the world. Here are just three examples of what Mercy Corps supporters have helped make possible:
Help families get the hygiene supplies and support they need to stay safe from deadly diseases, including COVID-19. Help vulnerable communities across the world survive crisis.
As COVID-19 continues to spread around the world, it is now reaching countries most vulnerable to the health and economic impact of the virus. While we are all facing uncertainty, now is not the time to wait. There are so many reasons to give, especially when, together, we can have up to five times the impact for families and communities in more than 40 countries where Mercy Corps works. Make a gift and help us reach our fundraising goal of $88,000 by March 31. Thank you for all you do to help people and families around the world. Sincerely, Mugur Dumitrache Senior Water and Sanitation Advisor for Mercy Corps
We know you’re hearing from us a lot right now. The reason is simple: Every dollar we raise can help us provide more lifesaving assistance as we try to meet unprecedented need around the world.
