The Rachel Corrie Foundation has felt the impact of the economic crisis. While we steadfastly continue our work on exciting projects like Olympia’s first Arab Fest, a student pen pal project in Gaza, and support for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) efforts locally and beyond, we are also struggling to make ends meet.
Today, we enthusiastically and humbly turn to you for help, as we launch our first-ever matching donor campaign.
At a time when it is desperately needed, the Rachel Corrie Foundation is uniquely positioned to continue the work that began with Rachel’s journey to Gaza nearly nine years ago. In the few years of our existence, we have had a substantive, positive, and broad impact by providing a structure for learning, communicating, networking, and acting for a world grounded in justice where people live together in peace. Even as political leaders are mired in struggle, we continue to bring together diverse communities and to support individual and collaborative action for positive change. In multiple ways, we educate and foster grassroots action for a just peace in the Middle East.
