Worldwide, funding for development cooperation is being cut.
The Netherlands is slashing 2.4 billion euros.
USAID, the biggest international player, is being practically dismantled.

It may sound abstract, but what this really means is that:

• Girls will no longer be able to go to school.

• Babies will be born with HIV/AIDS because mothers won't receive medication.

• Support for free press is disappearing.

• Support for the LGBTQIA+ movement is disappearing.

Throughout history, the government has retreated before, with dire consequences. Fortunately, there’s always been a counter-movement afterward.

Businesses and the public are stepping up:

Then we’ll do it ourselves!

✅ #Employers can easily support charities with a share of their profits. Charities that align with their organization. It’s not complicated!

✅ #Employees can also support these causes through LoonGift. Directly from their salary and with tax benefits. Does your employer already offer LoonGift? Sign up! Not yet? Ask for it!

✅ Even better to do it #together. As an employer, you can offer LoonGift and double the donations from employees. This way, you can make even more impact together.

✅ The best part? You can start today!

You can easily sign up for #LoonGift through The Social Handshake - B Corp.

Great employers like Systemiq Ltd., The School for Moral Ambition, De Groene Grachten, MR MARVIS or Van Lanschot Kempen have already gone before you.

Bonus? Since it’s tax-friendly for both employers and employees, the government is contributing a bit as well.

It’s necessary that we stand up, especially when it gets tough.
