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 se asocia con Benevity para posibilitar las donaciones. Los puntos que canjees se deducirán de tu cuenta de inmediato. Dentro de las seis semanas posteriores al final del mes en que canjeaste los puntos, Microsoft hará una donación en efectivo con base en tu canje a un fondo asesorado por donantes en Benevity UK Online Giving Foundation (OGF), con la recomendación de entregar un donativo equivalente a la organización sin fines de lucro que seleccionaste. OGF tendrá el control legal exclusivo de la donación que Microsoft realiza en tu nombre. Los canjes por donaciones no son reembolsables. Si la organización sin fines de lucro que seleccionaste no puede recibir tu donación (por ejemplo, si ya no cumple los requisitos para participar) o si la donación no puede entregarse por algún otro motivo, la donación en efectivo se enviará a otra ONG elegida por Microsoft. Microsoft no avala a estas organizaciones sin fines de lucro.
