Double the impact with Episcopal Relief & Development’s Matching Gift Challenge 2016

Through the end of December, Episcopalians and friends are invited to participate in Episcopal Relief & Development’s 2016 Holiday Matching Gift Challenge. With generous support from a group of exceptionally committed donors, gifts to any listed fund during this time will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000. The match amount benefits the Global Needs Fund, sending help where it is most needed to fight poverty, hunger, disease and disasters worldwide.

As I look back at the good we were permitted to do over the past year with the resources entrusted to us by our compassionate, caring community of supporters, I’m filled with gratitude. The Holiday Matching Gift Challenge presents a huge boost during a critical time, enabling this organization to continue its excellent work in collaboration with local partners in nearly 40 countries worldwide.
~Rob Radtke, President of Episcopal Relief & Development

 

Donations to any Episcopal Relief & Development fund made online, over the phone or via mail before year-end – including through Gifts for Life, the organization’s alternative giving catalog – are eligible for matching. Matching is automatically enabled when supporters make a gift. For new and existing monthly donors, any scheduled contributions during the challenge will also be matched.

You can support programs that touch the lives of more than 3 million people in nearly 40 countries, and support year-round efforts to alleviate hunger, promote health, create economic opportunities and respond to disasters.

Between now and December 31, all contributions will be matched. Donate online here, or call 1-855-312-HEAL (4325). Gifts can also be mailed to Episcopal Relief & Development, PO Box 7058, Merrifield, VA 22116-7058.
