There is nothing that we believe in more than the power of human potential. Time and again, we’ve seen communities come together in the aftermath of disaster and build back stronger and more resilient to future challenges.
Mercy Corps makes it easier for communities to access the resources, services, and opportunities to support them on the path to a brighter future. What bridges the gap between people and possibility is the collective support of our teams, communities, partners, and — of course — supporters like you.
And today, your support will go even further thanks to a group of generous donors who have given $400,000 to challenge our community to match their gifts. Will you donate by December 31 to help connect so many lives to a bolder, brighter future where everyone can thrive?

Between crisis and recovery, between challenge and lasting change, between people and possibility, there is you and our global community of humanitarians. Every dollar counts toward our goal of $400,000. Will you help us go up to TWICE as far for people facing climate-driven disasters and violent conflict by making your first gift today?
Thank you,

P.S. 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 (thank you!) or would rather not get our year-end emails, click here to pause email until January.
