Individuals: How You Can Help AmeriCares

 The World Health Organization estimates one-third of the world’s population (approximately 2 billion people) lack access to essential medicines. That’s where AmeriCares comes in.
In times of epic disaster, daily struggle or civil conflict, AmeriCares restores health and saves lives by delivering donated medicines, medical supplies and humanitarian aid to people in need around the world and here at home. Since its founding in 1982, AmeriCares has delivered over
in aid to 147 countries.
AmeriCares Gift-in-Kind model enables medical supply manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies to donate essential products while we raise the funding necessary to transport the products to a network of partners providing primary health care around the world and throughout the United States. The model is time-tested, cost-effective and experience-driven, enabling AmeriCares to maximize the impact of every donation. Last year, for every $100 in cash contributions, we delivered more than $3,500 in humanitarian assistance, including medicines, medical supplies, nutritional supplements and other aid.
The help we receive from supporters like you is what makes all of AmeriCares life-saving work possible.
Thank you for your generosity. Please take a moment to:
AmeriCares is grateful for individual contributions in any amount. Contributions can be made by check, credit card or pledges. You may also wish to make a donation in the name of friends and loved ones. AmeriCares also has comprehensive Planned Giving and Stock Donation programs. You may also have the opportunity to double, or even triple, your gift through your employer's Matching Gift Program.
Financial contributions are critical to our relief efforts. AmeriCares accepts no government funding; we rely upon private contributions to support our mission. Donor dollars help us with transport and delivery, support the complex logistics involved with getting valuable equipment from one place to another, and purchase medicines when product donations are not available. Since 1982, AmeriCares has delivered more than
of aid to 147 countries.
