Since the inception of the 'zero tolerance' policy earlier this year, many families have been separated at the US-Mexico border, with children being taken away from their parents and put into areas and situations they are unfamiliar with. This Fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing support to those who are seeking asylum and safety. We have initially selected organizations that work to support and reunite the families who have been put in this incredibly difficult situation. The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.

My friends and loved ones know just how much I love celebrating birthdays. In fact, I’ve been hyping up my upcoming birthday for weeks to those near to me. My excitement quickly came to a halt after learning about the forced separation of families by the US government. For my birthday, I’m raising awareness and money for a cause far beyond myself. On top of that, I will personally match the first $500 worth of contributions. That means that if you can only give $25, your contribution will effectively become a $50 contribution! Even better… my company Sentry will match the amount I give for a multiplier effect! Please send a screenshot of your receipt so that I can match. There are a fair number of organizations working on the border but after vetting the options available to me on Charity Navigator, I’ve selected the Texas Civil Rights Project because they’re from my home state of Texas and because of their solid rating: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=15920
