Dear John,

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to support our work helping refugees and asylum seekers, the time is now. We know how much you care about the millions of men, women and children fleeing violence worldwide, so we’re giving you an exclusive sneak peek at our Giving Tuesday match opportunity.

Giving Tuesday is one of the most important days of the year for us at HIAS: It gives us the chance to maximize the impact we can have for people escaping danger in their homelands. And this year, not only will all Giving Tuesday donations be matched up to $35,000, but we’re giving you access to this match a day early. Will you become one of the first to give now and double your impact for refugees fleeing violence and persecution?

Give $18 right now – or as much as you can – to have your tax-deductible donation DOUBLED one day ahead of our incredible Giving Tuesday match opportunity. Thanks to a generous match offer from HIAS Board Chair Robert D. Aronson, every dollar you give will go twice as far to help asylum seekers and refugees build new lives in safety and freedom.

This past year, HIAS has expanded our work, opening new offices around the world and rising to new and increasingly difficult challenges for the millions of people affected by the global refugee crisis. But none of that work is possible without your support. As more people become displaced around the world, it’s never been more important to step up to double your impact for those facing their greatest moment of need:

Please, make a gift of $18 or more today to take advantage of our Giving Tuesday match a day early. Every dollar you give will be DOUBLED toward providing the critical support refugees and asylum seekers need to escape danger, violence and persecution.

Thank you,

Miriam Feffer Vice President, Development
