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 samarbetar med Benevity för att underlätta sina donationer. Poängen du löser in tas från ditt konto direkt. Inom sex veckor efter slutet av den månad du löser in poängen, donerar Microsoft ett kontantbelopp som baseras på dina inlösta poäng till en DAF (donor-advised fund) på Benevity UK Online Giving Foundation (OGF), med en rekommendation att de ger motsvarande bidrag till den ideella organisation som du har valt. OGF har exklusiv juridisk kontroll över donationen Microsofts gör för din räkning. Inlösningar mot donationer återbetalas inte. Om den ideella organisationen du har valt inte kan ta emot donationen (till exempel om den inte längre uppfyller kriterierna för att få delta), eller om det inte går att leverera donationen av någon annan anledning, ges donationen till en annan ideell organisation som Microsoft väljer. De ideella organisationerna har inte godkänts av Microsoft.
