Sahel Crisis Matching Fund

On August 7, 2012, the Government of Canada announced the establishment of the Sahel Crisis Matching Fund. For every eligible dollar an individual Canadian donates to a registered Canadian charity that is responding to the Sahel crisis, the Government will set aside one dollar for the fund. The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) will allocate these funds to established Canadian and international humanitarian organizations for humanitarian assistance efforts that benefit the people most affected by the crisis.
