‘Art in a Bag’ is a happy delivery for kids in Haiti

UNICEF USA — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 14:55:53 +0000

Children stand and watch as volunteers unload large, black plastic boxes from a UNICEF truck at the Child Friendly Space where they come each day to play, learn, and just be kids. Two years after most of them lost their homes and some, their families, the delivery of these supplies marks the launch of Art in a Bag or 'bwat Atis' in Creole - a new art therapy program created by UNICEF to provide displaced and impoverished children with a creative way of healing.

Why to choose UNICEF for your year-end giving

Kini Schoop, UNICEF USA — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:19:09 +0000

Take a look at this article from syndicated columnist, Amy Dickinson, who writes that, “Great charities are transparent, show donors where the money goes and don’t just claim how much of their money goes to programs, but report measurable outcomes. I check out all my recommendations on charitynavigator.org. All receive a top rating.”

Why I give: UNICEF’s work in Honduras

UNICEF USA — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 18:40:12 +0000

Being able to witness UNICEF’s work in Honduras was very meaningful to me. I got involved and went on this trip because of my son-in-law, Matt, who encouraged our family to support UNICEF. Matt passed away recently, and our support for UNICEF is a memorial to him. I think he would be deeply proud of what is happening in Honduras.

Why I give: every child is a possibility

UNICEF USA — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 14:31:04 +0000

Growing up in developing countries, I was able to see UNICEF at work. Everywhere I lived, they were there, always doing their best to help kids who often had nothing. So I trust UNICEF, because I know they do exactly what they say they do.

Caryl Stern: Thank you is not enough

Caryl M. Stern, UNICEF USA President and CEO — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 02:14:33 +0000

I end where I began, with gratitude for all of you who stay informed, donate, spread the word and offer prayers, thoughts and love to the children affected. When each of us gives a little bit of ourselves, we become part of something very powerful. Collectively, we are making it possible for children to survive the unimaginable. “Thank you” is not enough. The lives saved are the reward we all share.

An investment in the human family

UNICEF USA — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:11:18 +0000

We wanted to invest our resources in children's lives and a deferred charitable gift annuity seemed like a good way to give today. A deferred charitable gift annuity is a practical way to make sure that we are making a significant contribution in the present and also securing income for our own future. In these uncertain economic times, it is really the ideal tool to fit our donating goals. We are able to commit considerable resources to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and still make sure we have provided for our retirement.

Why I give: a supporter’s story

UNICEF USA — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 10:04:02 +0000

Years ago, when my husband's company started to achieve some measure of success, one of our first discussions involved each of us picking a charity in order to start giving back. For me, the decision was easy. UNICEF was, and always will be, my first choice.
