1. Thirteen Years Responding to the Syria Regional Crisis

March 15 marked the 13th anniversary of the civil war in Syria, Americares longest-running emergency response. In the past year, increased air strikes and major earthquake damage have taken a significant toll on health infrastructure, with more than six million people displaced and more than 16.7 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.

2. Oncology partnership in Ukraine

For the past two years, Americares has been partnering with Mission Kharkiv to provide quality and lifesaving care to women impacted by Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine who may not otherwise have access to radiology and chemotherapy treatments. Olga and Natalia represent just a fraction of the women we've helped through our collaborative efforts.

3. Women’s History Month in the U.S.

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the achievements and contributions of pioneering women in the United States. Americares history includes women leaders – like our late co-founder and permanent vice chairman, Leila Macauley. Leila was critical to the organization for decades with her vision, acumen and determination.

4. Taxes the Smart Way

Did you know that gifts of appreciated stock can make the most of your donations? Transfer your appreciated stock directly to a charity instead of selling the stock to make a cash donation, and you'll avoid paying the capital gains tax. Plus, if you itemize your tax deduction, you can take a charitable deduction for 100% of the donation amount – all while making a greater impact for people and communities in crisis.

5. Become a Spring Match Founding Donor

At Americares, we are dedicated to providing health-focused relief and development to communities in need worldwide – from Ukraine to Gaza, Türkiye, Syria and beyond. And for a limited time, an incredible 2X match has been generously provided by Tom and Bonnie Abate from California.

Every dollar you give can be matched – up to $250,000 – so your gift will go TWICE as far to help deliver lifesaving medicine, medical supplies and mental health support all over the world. We are urgently looking for 1,000 Founding Donors to take advantage of this phenomenal opportunity by March 31!
