Funds in International Aid Agencies

At the end of February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine rocking cities across the country with explosions. ASML has established the Ukraine Humanitarian Support Fund, composed of pre-vetted nonprofits committed to providing humanitarian aid to Ukrainians. Through a single donation to the Fund you will support a group of nonprofits that are mobilizing resources to help those who are most vulnerable during this conflict.

Details of the three organizations that we plan to support in this campaign are below.

World Refugee Day, recognized annually on June 20, was established by the United Nations to celebrate and honor refugees around the world. According to the UN, every minute, 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. More than 80 million people around the world have fled their homes, which is just the beginning of a long and difficult journey, often involving refugee camps, abrupt relocations, family separation, and unnavigable bureaucratic processes. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations working for and on behalf of refugees around the world. Join us in shining a light on the rights, needs and dreams of refugees so that everyone can not only survive, but also thrive. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change.

The team was comprised of athletes from Ethiopia, South Sudan, The Democratic Republic of Congo, and Syria.*

Helping people in need is very important in the world today and I want to use all the attention in connection with my 50th birthday the 31st of August to help the people who are suffering due to the conflict in Ukraine. I will kindly ask all my friends, family and colleagues to donate what feels good for you for this cause instead of giving me any gifts. No donation is too small or big. I will participate in the toughest challenge of my life between August the 30th to September the 3rd in Haute Route Dolomites cycling race. I will dedicate all my training and racing for this cause. I will donate 5000 USD and my goal is that all of you together with VMware can match my donation so we have at least 10 000 USD to give the 31st of August at the top of the famous Passo Stelvio. The fundraising starts now in May and ends in August. Thank you all for your support. Very much appreciated. Per

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is causing one of the largest humanitarian crisis since WWII. Funding Circle has established the Ukraine Humanitarian Support Fund, composed of pre-vetted nonprofits committed to providing humanitarian aid to Ukrainians. Through a single donation to the Fund you will support a group of nonprofits that are mobilizing resources to help those who are most vulnerable during this conflict.

Recent months have brought civil conflict around the world; the Afghan crisis continues to rage, with over 700,000 Afghans newly displaced in 2021 alone. More recently, we have all watched with horror as millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes in search of safety from the Russian invasion, many on foot, carrying young children, or both. As hard as it is to watch and feel helpless from afar, we want to spotlight two non-profit organizations working to help the refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine. We are setting a goal for our employees to raise $2,500.00 to help fund these two organizations and the critical work they are doing. With that, Easterly will match the first $50.00 of each employee donation. Should you be interested in utilizing your annual $500.00 corporate matching allotment, please contact Katie Scott directly. For every $1.00 donated to our humanitarian aid fund, $0.50 will go to Operation Sacred Promise (OSP) and $0.50 will go to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees-USA (UNHCR). Both Bill and Meghan have been particularly focused on refugees of war and wish to help advance these important causes. As such, in order to kick off Easterly's first campaign, both Bill Trimble and Meghan Baivier have generously agreed to match these donations. Bill will match all donations made to UNHCR up to $1,500, and Meghan will also match all donations made to OSP up to $1,500. So now your $1 donation becomes $3 of support, and our $2,500 goal can grow to $8,000 through corporate and personal matching!

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is an ongoing humanitarian crisis that simply cannot be ignored. The displaced people and refugees of Ukraine are given hot meals by the team at World Central Kitchen. Families and Children receive psychosocial support, shelter and food from Save the Children.

Chevra is a Hebrew word for friendship. Since 2001, Chevra has officially operated as a 501(c)3 in the US for the purpose of raising funds to provide humanitarian relief, food security, and immigration support to the neediest Jewish people in eastern Europe. Since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, the number of displaced Ukrainians has skyrocketed from 125,000 (as a result of Russia's occupation of Crimea and Donbass region) to more than 3 million. You can read more about our work at https://mychevra.org/home.

Everyday we are seeing and hearing stories of desperate people fleeing Ukraine. I will be running the Bracknell Half Marathon on 15th May. Monies raised will be matched by my employer, Cisco, and go to relief charities supprting those who have lost everything in this unnecessary war.

Cisco is excited to collaborate with the San Francisco 49ers on Wheels for Refugees, a bike building event benefiting the International Rescue Committee (IRC). The IRC is working across the arc of the Afghanistan crisis by providing food, cash and other aid in Afghanistan itself while also helping to resettle Afghans who have arrived in the United States. As many Afghans have fled the country to build new lives in the United States, the IRC in Northern California will help four times the typical number of refugees placed each month. The IRC has shared that their greatest need is for bicycles to provide the refugees as a means of transportation for school and work in their new community. Cisco and the 49ers have come together to support this urgent need through a bike building event on December 16th. The event will look to provide about 50 bicycles to refugee families in the Bay Area. In addition to hosting the event, Cisco is providing a cash donation to purchase the bikes & further support the IRC’s mission. Please help us come together to support this important cause right in Cisco HQ’s backyard by donating to the IRC. Every donation by a Cisco blue badge employee will be matched by the Cisco Foundation!

UPDATE 9/1: The Intuitive Foundation has set up an official Afghan Crisis Fund with matching! Thank you! UPDATE 8/31: Thank you everyone for your contributions. The road to recovery for Afghanistan will be a long one. Under the rule of the Taliban, the future of the economy, and the ability to secure food, fuel, and housing remains uncertain. Continuing this effort will ensure that we can support Afghans in the long run. UPDATE 8/18: I spoke with the Australian Mahboba's Promise team this morning. Their office in Afghanistan has reported they cannot keep up with the demand for help. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts and distribute this fund to your friends and colleagues. We can't thank you enough. Due to the conflict between the Taliban and the Afghan government, 900 families near the Kabul Hope House orphanage are in desperate need of our help and have set up a makeshift camp. For $150 dollars, we can provide food, shelter, water, clothes and sandals for one family for three months. We have a goal to raise $135,000 to create a camp to provide adequate needs and basic necessities for 3 months for all 900 families.

On World Humanitarian Day August 19, the world commemorates humanitarian workers killed and injured in the course of their work, and we honour all aid and health workers who continue, despite the odds, to provide life-saving support and protection to people most in need. This year World Humanitarian Day comes as the world continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic over recent months. Aid workers are overcoming unprecedented access hurdles to assist people in humanitarian crises in 54 countries, as well as in a further nine countries which have been catapulted into humanitarian need by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please join Lucid to support this cause. This day was designated in memory of the 19 August 2003 bomb attack on the Canal Hotel in Baghdad, Iraq, killing 22 people, including the chief humanitarian in Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. In 2009, the United Nations General Assembly formalized the day as World Humanitarian Day.

The people of Nicaragua suffered to major hurricane coming to shore within weeks of each other. Both struck within 15 miles of each other and ripped through the country and have left many people without food or shelter.   By distributing food, water filters, personal hygiene kits, medical assistance, and assisting rebuilding communities, we can help bring hope to the hopeless.

After enduring more than a week of violent clashes between federal and regional forces, civilians in the Tigray region of Ethiopia are in crisis. Communication networks are down, banking services are halted, roads are blocked and there are shortages of basic supplies. Fearing for their lives and the lives of their families, thousands of children, women and men have been forced to flee into Sudan. UNHCR urgently need to scale up supplies so that they are ready to respond as the situation worsens. More than 30,000 refugees have arrived in Sudan exhausted and scared and are being sheltered in transit centers near the border. Water and meals are being provided and UNHCR and the Sudanese authorities are working around the clock to set up a new refugee site to shelter them. Your donation will allow UNHCR to continue to provide urgent, lifesaving help to refugees.
