Time is running out — you only have 24 hours left to make your gift to CARE so that it can be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to total match limit of $1 million.

When you give by midnight tonight, your gift will go twice as far, so $15 becomes $30, $25 becomes $50, and $50 becomes $100.

That means your gift will go twice as far to help CARE deliver its poverty-fighting and emergency relief programs in times of crisis, like the recent outbreak of cholera that hit Haiti this past week or the floods that devastated Pakistan last month.

Your tax-deductible gift will make a lasting difference by empowering girls and women to lift themselves, their families and their communities out of poverty for good.

Investing in girls and women is one of the smartest choices you can make. They comprise the largest portion of those who are poor and uneducated in the world. They are also the largest untapped resource in the fight against global poverty.

CARE’s innovative programs help empower impoverished girls and women around the world at pivotal moments in their lives: when pregnant and raising an infant, when applying classroom skills in the home and community and when earning a living. When women have the power to do what is best for themselves and their families at each of these moments, they can break the cycle of poverty.

By taking advantage of this special match in the next 24 hours, you will amplify the power of your gift to help CARE make a lasting difference in the lives of girls and women in poor countries and create a brighter future for their families and communities.

Thank you for your commitment to fighting global poverty with CARE.

Sincerely,

Helene D. Gayle, MD, MPH
President and CEO, CARE
