This isn’t the note I had hoped to be sending you this Giving Tuesday.
From the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, to the devastation brought by Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the United States, to the escalating global hunger crisis, the needs of the world’s children have never been greater. But the heart-wrenching reality is that this year, we are facing a budget shortfall and are not on track to fund our ambitious – and urgent – goals to support children in 2025.
That’s why I’m turning to you today with a critical request: Giving Tuesday is always one of the most important fundraising days of the year for Save the Children – and this year, it’s more important than ever. This is one of our final opportunities to make up our funding deficit so we can continue to be there for the children who need us most in the year ahead. So until midnight, every dollar you give is MATCHED** to help make sure we reach our pivotal $300,000 goal.
I can’t bear the thought of failing to make up this deficit and having to cut crucial programs for children around the world:
As a committed supporter, you’ve already shown how much you care about children’s futures – and for that, I couldn’t be more grateful.
But as we look to a changing presidential administration, independent funding from supporters like you – that doesn’t rely on government aid – is more critical than ever. In this crucial moment, can children count on you to come through for them with a match gift before Giving Tuesday ends at midnight?
Every bit of generosity makes a world of difference for children. Thank you for being a part of this important work.
Janti Soeripto President & CEO Save the Children
P.S. Wondering how you can increase your gift’s impact even more? Many employers offer matching-gift programs that can double or even triple your donation. Sadly, billions of dollars from these programs go unclaimed every year.
To see if your company will match your donation and to access all the info you need to submit a match, visit savethechildren.org/matchinggifts now. If you don’t see your employer, just reach out to your HR department to explore your options!
**A generous group of donors has donated to a matching gift fund to inspire more donors like you to support our work, and every dollar you donate will unlock a dollar from this pool. To unlock this match and help us reach our goal, please click the donation link in this email. All donations will be matched up to $300,000, or until midnight on Dec. 4, 2024. Monthly gifts will be matched for the first monthly installment only. Any gifts made by employers will not be matched. If we meet our match goal prior to receiving your one-time or monthly donation, your donation will not be matched but will still go to support our programs.
