Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. In over 75 countries around the world, MSF saves lives by providing medical aid where it is needed most—in armed conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters, and other crises. The people who work for MSF are doctors, nurses, midwives, epidemiologists, water-and-sanitation experts and many others who combine their professional expertise with a commitment to the world’s most vulnerable people. Each year, these medical teams run close to 470 projects where they care for millions of people. As an organization, MSF is neutral and operates independently of any political, military, or religious agendas. It does not take sides in armed conflicts, provides care based on needs alone, and advocates for increased independent access to victims of conflict and disaster as required under international humanitarian law. Medical teams conduct evaluations on the ground to determine a population's medical needs before opening programs, aiming to fill gaps that exist (rather than replicating services that are already offered) or reach communities that are not being assisted. Over the years, the organization has been the recipient of several awards that recognize its work, including the 1998 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize, the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize, the 2012 J. William Fulbright Prize for International Understanding, the 2015 Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award, and the 2017 Pardes Humanitarian Prize for Mental Health.

Microsoft samarbeider med Benevity for å legge til rette for donasjoner. Poengene du løste inn, trekkes fra kontoen din med en gang. Innen seks uker etter utgangen av måneden du løste inn poengene i, sender Microsoft et pengebeløp basert på poengene du løste inn, til et fond hos Benevity UK Online Giving Foundation (OGF) med en henstilling om at de sender et tilsvarende tilskudd til den veldedige organisasjonen du valgte. OGF tar juridisk kontroll over donasjonen Microsoft sender på dine vegne. Innløste donasjoner kan ikke refunderes. Hvis den veldedige organisasjonen du har valgt, ikke kan ta imot donasjonen (f.eks. hvis organisasjonen ikke lenger oppfyller kriteriene) eller hvis den på noen annen måte ikke kan leveres, sendes donasjonen til en veldedig organisasjon Microsoft har valgt. Microsoft godkjenner ikke veldedige organisasjoner.
