Community Fundraising
There are plenty of ways to get together, get involved, reach out to your community and make a difference. We rely on the creative fundraising of generous individuals and groups of all ages to raise money – and awareness – for our efforts. Through your gifts and involvement with Mercy Corps, you can reach out to those in need by creating positive change and instilling hope.
Raising awareness and donations for Mercy Corps can be done by having an event gathering people or online by creating a personal fundraising page.
For information on how to get started, please contact Minda Seibert, Sr. Community Relations Officer, at (800) 292-3355, ext. 5741 or (503) 896-5741, or email her using this form.
We also urge you to download our Community Fundraising Kit (PDF).
Please note that currently, all fundraising for Darfur must be authorized in advance by Mercy Corps. Please contact us for details.
