The midnight deadline to reach our $70,000 Matching Gift Challenge goal is just hours away. Will you give now to help refugees, displaced families and vulnerable people around the world facing heavy rains, freezing temperatures and other crises affecting their communities?

A generous group of Mercy Corps supporters has contributed to our Matching Gift Challenge Fund to encourage donors to match their gifts up to $70,000. Your gift today can help us go twice as far for people in urgent need — please give now.

The challenges refugees and other vulnerable communities face are tough, and can be even harder in the winter. But together, we can help people overcome even the most difficult circumstances, and build a stronger future where everyone can thrive.

Thank you for considering your first gift to Mercy Corps. We welcome you as part of our global community.

With gratitude,

Craig Redmond
Senior Vice President of Mercy Corps Programs

Subject: We’re not there yet — will you help?

Deadline extended: Make your matching gift today and help us have twice the impact ▸



Yesterday, more than 575 generous Mercy Corps supporters gave to our 24-Hour Challenge — including some who are experiencing the aftermath of record-breaking winter storms in their own communities. We appreciate your compassion to help refugees, displaced families and vulnerable people around the world who are also facing extreme weather, recovering from disasters or struggling to feed their families.

If you haven’t made your first-time gift yet, it’s not too late: We’re extending the deadline to meet our goal for one more day!

Give by midnight

When you make a gift, you can help us have twice the impact 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 $70,000.

Make your gift by midnight tonight and help us go twice as far for people determined to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy.

Here are just a few examples of how your gift could help:


In Syria, heavy winds and freezing temperatures are compounding Syrians’ suffering and threatening their health. Mercy Corps is reaching people with lifesaving support, including food, blankets, shelter, clean water and hygiene supplies.

Indoneisa

In Indonesia, torrential rains displaced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, destroying wells or inundating them with muddy, unsafe water. Mercy Corps helps people access this most basic necessity — clean water — to use for cooking, cleaning, bathing and drinking.
 



In Yemen last year, heavy rains flooded a camp, damaging shelters, supplies, food and water sources. Mercy Corps is focused on emergency assistance and COVID‑19 prevention, to relieve the intense suffering of people caught in the crossfire of war and a hunger crisis.

Please give today and help us have double the impact during our Matching Gift Challenge.
