Your matched gift has never been more important – please, don’t waste it. [Save the Children]( [YOUR GIFT TODAY CAN HELP KEEP KIDS SAFE IN 2025]( If you tuned in to the news even just once this year, you’ll know that 2024 has been an incredibly challenging year for children. As we look to 2025, we are facing a severe budget deficit. That means we may need to cut some of our most impactful programs for children if we can’t close this budget gap. [That’s why your matched donation toward our $300,000 Giving Tuesday goal has never been more important]( – but in case you needed a reason to give, here are three places where children are in urgent need of your gift: - The growing violence in Lebanon is putting more and more children at risk. More than 400,000 children are displaced, living in tents amid dropping temperatures. [Your matched gift could go twice as far toward shelter, warm blankets and supplies for children living through conflict and displacement.]( [Match my gift now]( - After devastating Hurricane Helene a few months ago, families across the southeastern United States are still reeling from the immense damage, power outages and lack of clean water. Among them are countless children who lost everything and don’t know if things will ever be the same. [Your matched gift could help get critical hygiene supplies, clean water and cash assistance to families who’ve lost everything.]( [Match my gift now]( - The brutal conflict in Sudan has left innumerable children in harm's way and 3.8 million others malnourished. Thousands of others risk death from disease as the country’s health system is near collapse, and not a single child has been able to go to school over the past year. [Your matched gift could help keep child-friendly spaces and medical clinics open so children can get the health care and educational support they need.]( [Match my gift now]( Through constant violence, a global hunger crisis and increasing climate disasters, children around the world are facing more challenges than ever before. And due to a difficult fundraising environment in 2024, we are in desperate need of your support to continue our lifesaving work. But today, you have a chance to do something about it with your MATCHED* Giving Tuesday gift. [Please, rush your donation of $30 or more toward our $300,000 goal before midnight and have it DOUBLED for children in crisis.]( Thank you for showing up for kids when they’ve needed it most.
