During my nearly seven years with Mercy Corps, I’ve noticed a consistent theme wherever I go in the world: the power of collaboration.
Take, for example, the 22 women in Kenya who we helped to start their own savings and loan group. They each make weekly contributions with the goal to start a livestock business. Together, they’re able to support each other and build stronger, more financially secure futures.
This spirit of collaboration and community is at the heart of everything we do at Mercy Corps, from our work in places like Kenya all the way to our fundraising in this last week of the year. And now I’m asking you to join our global community of humanitarians in making a MATCHING gift to help propel our work into the new year.
Our entire community is woven together through a shared desire to make a better world. We see that in places like Kenya and in the sentiment behind our holiday Matching Gift Challenge Fund. A group of generous donors contributed $400,000 toward this fund to encourage supporters like you to match their gifts — because they know that when we all come together, we can be a powerful force for good.
Make a matching, tax-deductible gift today to show you’re here with us — and you’re here to help.
We’re so thankful for the communities we serve, our team members, and
supporters
like you! Together, we’ll be ready for the challenges and opportunities we may face in 2022 and beyond.
Thank you,

P.S. Thanks to the CARES Act, you can claim up to $300 ($600 for married individuals filing joint returns) in tax-deductible donations this year whether you plan to itemize your tax deductions or not.
