Your lifesaving tax-deductible gift to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF will be matched $1-for-$1, doubling your impact that will help save children’s lives.

Donate $25 today.

Escalating violence in Syria and Iraq. Hunger and near-famine levels in South Sudan. Ebola still spreading in West Africa. This year’s emergencies are completely unprecedented, and there are countless children in peril.

UNICEF is racing to save them – but we need your help.

Thankfully, we have some good news: Until midnight December 31 every dollar you give will be automatically doubled, up to $1 million thanks to an anonymous group of donors.

It’s the single, largest matching gift this year, and it came just in time. Donate before midnight on December 31 and every dollar you give will be doubled – 100% of your gift is tax-deductible.

You + UNICEF = relief on a massive scale. UNICEF can deliver lifesaving relief, to any child, almost anywhere in the world, in just 72 hours. All that’s needed is your help, and UNICEF can rush:

• Fortified food to children wasting away from hunger – therapeutic food can breathe life back into a severely malnourished child.
• Blankets, winter clothes and shoes to refugees – kids who fled violence wearing only summer clothes don’t stand a chance against the winter’s frigid cold and freezing rain.
• Clean water for sick, dehydrated children – nothing is more important to a child’s survival.
• Vaccines to protect kids from killer diseases like pneumonia and measles – if all children were immunized with current vaccines, we’d save 25 million children by 2020.

Please donate now – help us rush lifesaving relief to desperate children this holiday season. Every gift will be MATCHED dollar for dollar – but only until December 31st.

You and other supporters like you have helped kids beat terrible odds like this before. When famine threatened countless children in the Horn of Africa in 2011, UNICEF treated 1 million children with therapeutic food. Those kids are alive today because you and others believed that we could make a difference – even when the odds felt overwhelming.

Let’s help kids beat the odds again this holiday season.

With gratitude,

Caryl M Stern
President and CEO, U.S. Fund for UNICEF
