Monthly Donations Matter: Simple Action, Major Impact

News

By Megan Merenda, Donor Relations Manager

Every dollar Direct Relief receives helps save the lives of people in need in the U.S. and around the world. All donations are crucial in enabling people to access the critical health care they need, but monthly donations help us to plan in a way no other gift does.

Why Monthly Donations Make A Big Difference

Savvy supporters know that regular gifts enable Direct Relief to better plan for the future and continue to build sustainable health systems that are vital for people who would otherwise not be able to afford care. When you choose to support Direct Relief on a monthly basis, the impact of your support is amplified.

Becoming a monthly contributor allows you to give smaller amounts on a regular basis. It’s the long-term, committed supporters who truly enable Direct Relief and its partners to bring about successful change in areas most in need.

If you already give regularly and need to make any changes to your recurring gift, such as updating your credit card number, expiration date, the frequency of your donation, or the amount you wish to give, you can do so here or by calling (805) 964-4767.



Giving is Good Medicine

You don't have to donate. That's why it's so extraordinary if you do.
