The federal government is matching your donations to send aide to Beirut. This comes after a tragic chemical explosion rocked the city last week, leaving over 150 people dead and trails of damage behind.
This matching fund makes up the overall 5-million-dollar contribution the federal government already promised. The government will match your donations of up to 2 million dollars to the following organizations:
- World Vision Canada
- Doctors of the World
- CARE Canada
- Humanity & Inclusion
- Canadian Lutheran World Relief
- Save the Children Canada
- Oxfam Canada
- Oxfam Quebec
- Plan International Canada
- Islamic Relief Canada
- Action Against Hunger
- Canadian Foodgrains Bank
The matching program continues until it hits 2 million dollars or to August 24.
