I wanted to bump up Craig’s email from earlier. With refugee and hunger crises also developing in Sudan and Yemen, we could really use your year-end gift today. If you’re able to give — whatever you’re able to give — please contribute.
Your gift today can help us go twice as far for people in urgent need, thanks to a generous group of Mercy Corps supporters who have contributed to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage first-time donors like you to match their gifts up to $300,000. We’ll put your generosity to work where it’s most needed — helping people survive conflict and disaster and rebuild stronger and more resilient than before. Make your matching gift now ▸ Thank you, Adrienne ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Craig Redmond, Mercy Corps <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Dec 30, 2020 at 2:09 PM Subject: Deadline approaching: What’s next is up to all of us |
Your contribution is still needed to meet our $300,000 Matching Gift Challenge — please, give now. | Give |

You’ve already heard from us this month, describing the war in Syria and its toll on Syrians, the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the instability it creates for families, floods in Indonesia wiping out people’s homes, and drought in Niger leading crops to fail. You’ve also heard us talk about the opportunities in each of these places where we work side-by-side with the people who live there — helping them recover, rebuild, feed, clothe and house themselves and their families. By standing beside those we serve, and with support from first-time donors like you, we can protect small businesses, pair technology with local knowledge to strengthen agriculture, put more food on the table and bring more goods to market. At Mercy Corps, we know we can’t prevent every crisis, conflict or disaster, but we also know that when disaster strikes, what’s next is up to all of us. It’s how we respond that matters — how we help. And with just one day left before the 2020 charitable giving deadline, I hope you’ll take a moment right now to contribute generously to our year-end fundraising campaign.
In the DRC, Mercy Corps works with smallholder farmers, helping them counter the impacts of conflict and climate change so their families and communities can thrive.
Your gift today can help us go twice as far for people in urgent need, thanks to a generous group of Mercy Corps supporters who have contributed to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage people like you to match their gifts up to $300,000. Make your matching gift now. And, remember, thanks to the CARES Act, everyone can claim up to $300 in charitable donations made this year, whether you itemize your deductions or not. Our ability to show up for the people who ask for our help hinges on the support we receive this time of year. Please, help us reach the people who are going to need our support to overcome crisis in 2021. Sincerely, Craig Redmond Senior Vice President of Mercy Corps Programs
We know you’re hearing a lot from us these days. The reason is simple: Every dollar we raise right now helps the people we work with protect their families and improve their lives. If you’ve already made your gift or would rather not get our year-end emails, click here to stop receiving email until January.
