We want to create a legacy of change that will, in turn, renew North Americans’ experience of giving (and receiving). We want to bring the poorest of the poor in on our reasons to celebrate.
In communities of the developing world, projects related to health, education, economy, agriculture, infrastructure, gender, water and sanitation, and community development will be funded - giving people opportunity to achieve economically sustainable lives and a real vision for their future. The gifts we give today play a fundamental role in creating opportunity; the opportunity to see the end of extreme poverty in our lifetime.
