Help keep clinics open for 75,000+ people in Darfur
If donors like you commit $1.75M before June 16 it will unlock the final 30% in matching funds from the Rapid Response Fund — and prevent mass disruption to life-saving care.
Why this matters
- Sudan is home to the largest displacement crisis in the world—14.9M people.
- Over 11M people need urgent health services. Most local clinics have already been forced to shut down.
- This project supports 11 clinics, delivering food, antibiotics, skilled birth care, and more.
- We estimate this funding will help prevent nearly 1,000 deaths.
- If we don’t act, CRS will be forced to shut down these facilities—leaving hundreds of thousands without care.
How to commit
Your commitment is conditional—it only activates if we hit the target before June 16.
Minimum commitment to this fund is $200,000.
Funds will be pooled and granted through the Founders Pledge Rapid Response Fund with no handling charge. As soon as we reach our 70% target, then Founders Pledge will accept the committed funds and match the final $750k of the project budget.
Take two minutes to review the MOU and register your commitment.
Who you're trusting
The Catholic Relief Services (CRS) have operated in Sudan for over 20 years. They have a proven record of helping poor and vulnerable people around the world, with access and staff on the ground to act immediately.
CRS has been identified by the PRO Urgent and Vetted list as one of the most urgent projects requiring funding to avoid services being shut down.
Founders Pledge and The Life You Can Save both have a long track record of evaluating nonprofit organizations and interventions using rigorous, evidence-based criteria to identify those that deliver the greatest impact. Funds to CRS will be pool and granted via the Rapid Response Fund, formed in February 2025 to fill the urgent gap created by federal funding cuts.
Founders Pledge is uniquely positioned to enable high-impact donor coordination at scale.
