We are deeply grateful for your compassion and generosity this year. Your support has brought healing and hope to countless people. Every gift — whether it’s funding ongoing programs, strengthening health systems, or restoring dignity and confidence — helps bring us closer towards a future free from neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Together, we’re building a world full of hope.
As December arrives and the year draws to a close, our programs remain as vital as ever. The most vulnerable — those facing the burden of disease—need your help. Stories of healing and recovery are only possible because of the support from people like you. This holiday season, you can leave a lasting impact that changes lives.
By giving before year-end, you’ll extend comfort, care, and healing to those with nowhere else to turn. Below, you’ll find all the reasons why your holiday giving matters — and how to make it count.
How and Why to Give this Holiday Season
1. Have a Lasting Impact – Immediately. Online giving is the fastest, most effective way to make a difference before year-end.

2. Your Gift Counts Toward Your 2025 Tax Return. Prefer to give by mail or cheque? Donations must be postmarked before 11:59PM EST on Dec 31, 2025 to qualify for a 2025 charitable tax receipt. While the mail strike may be over, backlogs remain—so online giving is strongly encouraged to ensure your gift arrives on time.
3. New Year. Greater Hope. Your year-end gift provides the early funding necessary to plan for the year ahead. That means that your giving will have a lasting impact long after this holiday season.
