Some call it Cyber Monday. We call it #GivingTuesday Eve. #TogetherWeGive ▸ |
When times are hard, having someone by your side can make all the difference. And in a year marked by a relentless drumbeat of alarming headlines, I’m filled with gratitude for the way that Mercy Corps’ supporters, team members, participants and partners have shown up for each other, working together for a brighter future. This #GivingTuesday we’re celebrating the power of helping others and the joy that giving brings. And through midnight tomorrow, you can make a gift as part of our $100,000 Matching Gift Challenge. Your gift can match this generous support from Tripadvisor Foundation to help us go 2x as far to help families and communities around the world. Make an early-bird #GivingTuesday matching gift today and it could help us provide 2x the clean water, hand-washing stations and other essential services to prevent the spread of COVID‑19. It could help us provide 2x the emergency cash assistance so that parents fleeing violent conflict can feed their children. It could help us go twice as far to help farmers improve their next harvest by connecting them with new technologies and financing. Make your early-bird #GivingTuesday matching gift of $10 or more, and help us meet our $100,000 Tripadvisor Foundation Matching Gift Challenge!
Umayah, 51, runs a small coffee shop in Indonesia. She participates in Mercy Corps’ financial literacy and banking programs, to provide stability for her business.
The past year has shone a bright light on the strength of the human spirit to defy unnerving odds. To take to the streets and demand justice. To give food, supplies and funds where they’re needed most. To be allies and advocates, helping others persevere through crisis. That spirit is what keeps our global community of humanitarians going. Against extreme challenges, we’ve seen how people can come together to make a difference for their families, their communities and people they may never meet. We know that the only way forward is to act — together. Across beliefs and borders, and with everything we’ve got. Because when we act together this #GivingTuesday, we make lasting change possible. Thank you for joining us this #GivingTuesday. Together, we have the power to reshape the world. With gratitude, Craig Redmond Senior Vice President of Mercy Corps Programs |
