How 100% of your donation helps long-term
Like any business, some years we invest a higher percentage into our marketing or fundraising so that we can expand our reach, grow our network of passionate supporters and ultimately increase the amount of funds we raise.
However, unlike other businesses, whenever we invest more here, we channel our increased profits back to Ethiopian people and communities in need.
Our theory is simple. We'd rather send 60% of $1 million to Ethiopia, than 90% of $500,000.
Here's our promise to you. When you make a donation to Ethiopiaid, 100% of it helps over the long-term.
It helps give immediate support to those in desperate need overseas. It helps us reach more people like you and raise the next dollar. Most importantly, it helps keep our mission alive.
Positive change won't happen overnight, but it's 100% thanks to you that we can provide the long-term support that's needed for true and lasting change in Ethiopia.
