Double Your Christmas Gift: 2026 Matching Grant

Give in the Spirit of Christ This Christmas: Double Your Gift to Serve Families at the Border

This holiday season, every gift to Project Mexico is matched dollar for dollar, up to $317,000. Your generosity will help care for abandoned children and build homes for families trapped in poverty.


Love Where the Need Is Greatest

The poverty at the border is overwhelming and tragic. But together, serving side by side, the Orthodox Church brings love. So many of Jesus’ believers have come to help the suffering. Now we need you to help us by giving financially.

Your Gift Will Be Doubled

During the last several months of every year, a few generous donors challenge the rest of the country to give by committing their own gifts and having them matched. This year’s Matching Grant is $317,000.

  • The challenge: We need to raise an additional $317,000 before December 31, 2026.

  • The result: Your gift will be doubled.

  • The impact: Together we can care for 35 abandoned children and build homes for families trapped in poverty.

What Your Matched Gift Makes Possible

A matched gift gives a child who has been abandoned a place of care and belonging. It gives a family trapped in poverty a safe home. It also gives all of us a way to put the season’s meaning into action.

Give in the Spirit of Christ

At Christmas we celebrate Christ coming into the world in poverty, among the humble and the needy. He tells us that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Him. Your sacrifice, whatever its size, is love offered in His name, and this year it will go twice as far.

May God bless you for your sacrifice, and thank you for supporting this crucial ministry.
