Google will match your donations to help raise $10million for European refugee crisis relief

Unless you’ve lived under a rock the last few weeks, you are probably aware of the current refugee and migrant crisis in Europe. It’s basically time for all hands to the pump to help as many people as possible, gain safety for themselves and their families. And with that notion, having already donated $1 million, Google are attempting to raise the sum of 10 million dollars globally via donations. Google aren’t asking you to raise it all by yourselves, though, instead it will match donations at a ratio of 1:1 for the first $5 million.

Google will also cover all processing fees so that the entire sum of donated money will go directly to the Network for Good, whereupon it will be distributed to 4 non-profits that are providing shelter, food, water and medical care to the refugees and migrants. The four non-profits are:

• Doctors Without Borders
• International Rescue Committee
• Save The Children
• UN High Commissioner for Refugees

Remember, every Dollar/Euro/Pound/Yen helps. No one is expecting you to mortgage your house, but if you can spare even a little bit, that would be something. You can read up on Google’s initiative and place your donation here.
