Giving Tuesday
#GivingTuesday is here!
Make your matching gift
and join the global generosity movement.


Today is #GivingTuesday, a day when people across the globe come together to demonstrate the power of charitable giving to change lives and create new possibilities.

As I sat down to write this message, I was overwhelmed with gratitude as I reflected on the incredible generosity of this community over the last year.

From the war in Ukraine to Somalia on the brink of famine, time and again, this community has come through for people in moments of crisis.
In Somalia, millions of children are unable to go to school. CEO Tjada D’Oyen McKenna (right) visits a settlement for displaced families, where Mercy Corps is building classrooms and helping kids access education.
That’s why I know, on this important day of giving — as escalating violence forces more people from their homes, as the global food crisis pushes more people to the brink of famine, and as millions more people all over the world live determined to cope, adapt, and thrive through crises being driven by conflict and climate change — we can count on this community again.

A group of generous donors has already given $150,000 to our Matching Gift Challeng Fund to inspire our community to make a matching gift. Today I’m asking you to join in this wave of support for families now by making your first, matching gift before midnight tonight.
Donate today ▸
Challenges of this magnitude won’t be solved tomorrow. It will take years for communities to recover and rebuild. But your support today will make a real difference for people on their path to a brighter future.

Please, make your #GivingTuesday contribution to our Matching Gift Challenge before midnight tonight.

Sincerely,

Tjada D’Oyen McKenna Tjada D’Oyen McKenna
