I have great news: you can still make a gift towards our #GivingTuesday fundraising effort and have it help us make twice the impact! A small group of committed donors have contributed $18,500 to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to inspire others to give — can you help keep the spirit of #GivingTuesday going for one more day, and match their generous gifts?
Every matching gift you and
others
make today toward this $18,500 Matching Gift Challenge goal can help us provide twice as much food, water, stability and hope for people who are facing great hardship with great strength.
The challenges we’ve faced this year have helped to remind us that we are all connected. That we are an incredibly powerful force for each other. And that building a better future means building a future where everyone can thrive.
Here are just a few examples of the ways in which Mercy Corps donors are helping to bring relief and stability to vulnerable communities all around the world:

In Northwest Syria, where so many displaced families were already facing hunger before the pandemic, our teams are providing rapid assistance, including clean water, food, hygiene kits and cash disbursements.

At inclusive schools in Jordan, children with disabilities receive a wide range of support from our trained educational assistants. Without this school, Summayya would be denied the opportunity of education because of her Down syndrome.

The vibrant tourism sector in the Bahamas, already struggling to recover from Hurricane Dorian, has been hit hard by COVID-19. Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve provided hundreds of small businesses with cash grants and resources for economic recovery.

You can still be part of the #GivingTuesday momentum, and make the most of this matching gift opportunity before tonight’s midnight deadline. Your gift can help Mercy Corps make twice the impact around the world.
Thank you,
