Dear Rich, Today you have twice the power to create a better future for people and families living in poor communities around the world. Thanks to our Year-End Matching Gift Challenge, your year-end gift to ActionAid will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to a campaign total of $100,000. Your year-end gift of $25 will be worth $50 Your contribution of $50 will grow to $100 Your gift of $100 will become $200 DOUBLE MY GIFT By supporting poor and excluded people around the world – especially women, young people and children – ActionAid is working with communities to fight poverty and injustice. When you make a year-end gift today, your support will go twice as far to help poor and excluded people organize, collaborate, and lead their way out of poverty, including 700 women living in camps in Northern Ghana. Accused of witchcraft, these women have been driven out of their communities. ActionAid has been supporting them to form networks so they can claim their rights. After protesting to the local authorities, hundreds of women received health insurance cards so that they can now receive health care at clinics that once turned them away. They have also been able to get their land back, so they can grow their own food and don’t have to rely on handouts. GIVE NOW Your year-end gift to ActionAid empowers people, like these extraordinary women, to make change happen, whether its: Teaching rural communities how Ebola spreads and how they can protect themselves Campaigning against unjust governments and tax loopholes that exacerbate poverty Demanding land rights for the marginalized, especially women Ensuring children can access food and education, or Making cities safer for women If we can realize the full potential of this Year-End Matching Gift Challenge – and with your continued support today, I know that we can, then together we can achieve lasting progress in tackling the root causes of poverty. But in order to take full advantage of this limited-time opportunity to double your gift to ActionAid, dollar-for-dollar, you must make your year-end gift by December 31, 2014. Change can’t wait, and Matching Gift opportunities like this don’t come along that often. Please don’t let this moment slip away. Make a year-end gift to help ActionAid double your impact, making lasting progress against poverty with one gift that can have the power of two. Warmly, Marie Marie Clarke Brill Executive Director ActionAid USA
