There are just 3 days left to help us make 2x the impact: A generous group of Mercy Corps supporters have contributed to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund and are encouraging supporters like you to match their gifts up to $300,000. Make your matching gift today ▸
These are just a few examples of how your gift could be helping us make a difference every single day! Your contribution will be used where it is most needed to provide relief to people in crises around the world. This challenge comes at an incredibly important time. Every single gift today brings us nearer to our $300,000 Matching Gift Challenge goal! The money we raise now is critical to meeting the needs of the people we serve in the weeks and months to come. People like Safi, 47, who lives with her husband and children in Niger, in a remote village she’s called home her entire life. Residents rely heavily on local agriculture for food and income, which can be hard to manage in this dry climate. Safi’s family has an additional challenge, though: she needs a wheelchair to get around.

"Life is not easy, especially for people like us," Safi tells us. "We just try our best to have something to satisfy our needs." With help from Mercy Corps, Safi’s family is getting by.
With so much devastation in the world, especially this year, it can be hard to accept that we already have most of what we need to alleviate poverty and ensure that people everywhere have the tools they need to live dignified lives. But we do have those tools, from science to technology to local knowledge and beyond. It’s truly a matter of making sure people have access to the tools they need. That’s what we help provide — me and you and everyone else who supports the community of humanitarians known as Mercy Corps. Strengthen our global community and help more people build the better, safer, healthier future we all want to live in, by meeting our Matching Gift Challenge with your own matching gift today. And, remember, thanks to the CARES Act, you can claim up to $300 in tax-deductible donations this year whether you plan to itemize your tax deductions or not. Thank you for being a part of Mercy Corps, and for helping the people we partner with take charge of what comes next in their own lives. Sincerely, 
Adrienne Karecki, Mercy Corps Chief Development and Marketing Officer
