I enjoy raising money for Mercy Corps through producing compelling fund-raising events that seek to increase awareness and create exceptional value for people who are compelled to donate due to the compelling nature of the cause and the successful execution of the event itself.

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Mercy Corps provides educational opportunities where volunteers and donors can get informed and from my interaction I have been inspired to donate my time, talent and money. In my four years of fund-raising I have met a cadre of exceptionally gifted humanitarians who are committed to improving the lives of others.

I think Mercy Corps is run exceedingly well as exemplified by their ratings from Charity Navigator and from the personal testimony of individual employees and the stories of those who have received aid.

Mercy Corps is the first charity my husband and I donate to in the event of any global crisis or disaster. They are usually on the ground before any other agencies, probably because they are already "in country". We became aware of Mercy Corps because they are based in Portland, Oregon and have a well-deserved reputation for excellent management paired with amazing empathy. Their staff is very helpful in supplying materials to aid in Alternative Gift Fairs, promptly and at no charge. Their gift cards for 2010 were distinctive, conveying their messages of hope with colorful pictures & catchy wording.

Fortunately, I have been blessed with the security of a home, food, clothing and education. I have not needed the aid provided by Mercy Corps. Rather, I seek to spread their message and compassion to those who do need their help.
