Social Engagement
Mercy Corps takes on two new projects that will enhance its mission, encourage advocates in its campaign against world hunger and poverty and, in time, produce a new crop of deeply involved donors.
“When I started, we were raising about $2.5 million a year, and over the course of about seven or eight years we experienced steady growth and increased that figure to about $10 million a year,” De Galan recalls. “And then a series of natural disasters occurred, and we had an explosion of giving.”
Those disasters included the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004, Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and the Pakistan earthquake in October 2005 — all within a 10-month span that spread out across two fiscal years.
