Friend: we know that emails are filling up your inbox today, asking for your generosity before the year ends, but this is important: we want to quickly break down the three reasons why Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is counting on you to step up today and make your first MATCHED gift, thanks to generous donors Worthington & Margaret Mayo-Smith:

1. About 97 percent of our funding comes from independent donors or private institutions, and what we raise in the next two days from individuals like you has a profound impact on our ability to provide medical humanitarian aid around the world next year. Rush your 2x gift >>
2. We have active medical projects in more than 70 countries, and over 90 percent of our staff on the ground are hired from countries where we work. This allows us to respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice, often within minutes, and support sustainable health systems. Rush your 2x gift >>
3. Minutes matter when it comes to delivering urgent, time-sensitive medical care—and the clock is ticking, Friend. There are less than 48 hours remaining before we close the books for 2021. Make your tax-deductible contribution before it's too late >>

Friend, between disaster recovery and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the need for care around the world has never been greater than it is right now. So if you were waiting for the right moment to give your first gift to MSF, that time is now.

P.S. If your year-end gift and our email have crossed paths, we sincerely thank you for your generosity!
