More than ever, families need our support as they face some of the world’s most difficult challenges. Worse, aid funding cuts have stripped families of a lifeline that has kept many of them afloat for so long.

A recent study warns that up to 2.4 million deaths could occur annually if these massive gaps in care aren’t filled.

Today, you can help us make a difference by contributing to our matching gift challenge fund and your generosity will go five times as far for families in need. Rush a gift today and it will be combined with our funding grant to help families survive crisis.
Make 5X the impact ▸
These global funding cuts have forced us to close offices in multiple countries and terminate 42 programs that had the potential to reach over 3.6 million people in crisis hotspots.

Your support today can help ensure we remain open in other countries, deliver relief where it’s indeed most needed, and sustain our programs. Your generosity will help maintain the life and well-being of children and families enduring hunger, conflict, natural disaster, and other crises.

Help us reach our goal of raising $300,000 before the end of this month.

Thank you for acting swiftly,

The Mercy Corps Team

Dear friend,

As Israel intensifies ground operations in central Gaza, civilians and aid workers are caught in an increasingly untenable crisis.

Nearly 90% of Gaza is now under evacuation orders or in areas classified as militarized zones, leaving families with nowhere safe to go. More than 1,000 people have been killed while seeking humanitarian aid since May, as food, water, and fuel remain desperately scarce.

This week, Mercy Corps joined more than 100 other organizations in a statement to demand that lifesaving aid safely reach all those in need across Gaza. Right now, humanitarian assistance is nearly impossible to deliver at the scale needed, as border crossings remain closed and access to the few supplies that do arrive is fraught with danger. Basic services are collapsing under the weight of a critical fuel shortage.

In Gaza and across the globe, families are experiencing some of the most intense humanitarian crises of our time. In Sudan, millions of people are facing starvation and unimaginable violence. And in Ukraine, families face daily bomb threats on their way to work, school, or at home.

With your support, we can bring urgently needed solutions to communities at risk. It’s why we’re launching a Matching Gift Challenge to raise $300,000 for families in need.

Your gift today will combine with our grant funding to go FIVE times as far to deliver relief worldwide. Together, we can do even more for families caught in crisis. Will you make a gift today to help us reach our goal?
5X my gift ▸
Your generosity allows us to effectively respond to the most dire crises and meet the needs of families and children who are most impacted. With your support, we are:
    Supplying water and hygiene services. For nearly two years in Gaza, families and children have been denied access to lifesaving aid, water, electricity, medical care, and other necessities. In the face of other challenges preventing more aid from entering the region, we’re distributing water so they can drink, cook, clean, and shower.
 
    Supporting communities against food insecurity. In Sudan, where millions are on the brink of famine, the price of food like lentils, sugar, and wheat flour has doubled. Mercy Corps is distributing seeds, fertilizer, and essential items to farmers to mitigate the cost of food and provide better nutrition.
 
    Providing mental health services. In Ukraine, where violence has destroyed homes, schools, and entire communities, children and families have endured prolonged fear and trauma. We’re providing art therapy sessions for children to cope and helping mothers connect with one another in the community.
As we continue to deliver relief, and as crises intensify, more families need Mercy Corps — and you.

Your support today during our 2025 Matching Gift Challenge can help us make even more of an impact and reach even more people as our team responds to their critical needs.

This is your time to give, when the need is great and your impact is 5X as much. Help us deliver life-changing support to families in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, and 35+ countries around the world with a gift today.
Deliver 5X the relief ▸
Thank you for showing up for those who need it most.

Sincerely,

The Mercy Corps team
