A small act can travel further

Help one cause reach someone who cares.

You do not have to give money to help. Choose a cause, read its story and share it with someone who would welcome hearing about it.

This toolkit offers suggested copy. Your own reason for caring is the part only you can add.

Use the short explanation above and the direct GoFundMe link. Keep the organizer and project locations distinct: Maitri is based in Topanga, California; the supported communities are abroad. Our fundraisers are organizer-managed.
