About the Campaign: Why Give?

These are challenging times. Thankfully, there are lots of superheroes battling challenges and making the world a better place. The videos below offer a glimpse into the ways these superheroes are helping people who are fleeing persecution and violence; learning to navigate college or a new language; and facing addiction, homelessness, hunger, or the end of life.

Now more than ever, these heroes need our financial support. Please donate to the agency(ies) that are most important to you.

Giving is your superpower.
