Action Against Hunger

The mission of Action Against Hunger is to save lives by eliminating hunger through the prevention, detection, and treatment of malnutrition, especially during and after emergency situations of conflict, war and natural disaster. From crisis to sustainability, we tackle the underlying causes of malnutrition and its effects by using our expertise in nutrition, food security, water and sanitation, health and advocacy. By integrating our programs with local and national systems we further ensure that short-term interventions become long-term solutions.

American Humane Association

Founded in 1877, the American Humane Association is the only national organization dedicated to protecting both children and animals. A nonprofit membership organization, American Humane is headquartered in Denver.

Through a network of child and animal protection agencies and individuals, American Humane provides national leadership in developing policies, legislation, curricula and training programs -- and taking actions -- to protect children and animals from cruelty, abuse, neglect and exploitation.

Hundreds of child welfare and child protective services agencies and professionals are members of American Humane. In addition, hundreds of local humane societies, SPCAs and animal control agencies across the country are member organizations of American Humane. As members, those individuals and organizations benefit from the national leadership, expertise, resources, information exchange, trainings and programs that American Humane provides.

American Humane also raises awareness about The Link® between animal abuse and other forms of violence, as well as the benefits derived from the human-animal bond. Our regional office in Los Angeles is the authority behind the No Animals Were Harmed® end credit disclaimer on film and TV productions, and our office in Washington advocates for child and animal protection at the federal and state levels.

Red Cross - Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation's premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.

Today, in addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers compassionate services in five other areas: community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection, processing and distribution of lifesaving blood and blood products; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development programs.

The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—across the street, across the country, and across the world—in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new—the more than half a million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through over 700 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world.

Some four million people give blood—the gift of life—through the Red Cross, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. And the Red Cross helps thousands of U.S. service members separated from their families by military duty stay connected. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of 186 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and dignity to the world's most vulnerable people.

An average of 92 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work.

Dreams for Seniors - Dreams for Seniors Charity (Dreams for Seniors) is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2005 in Pekin, Illinois, by Debbie Davison. Debbie’s dream was to create a volunteer organization dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of what has unfortunately become an overlooked and underappreciated segment of our society, our senior citizens.

Farm Aid

Farm Aid works with local, regional and national organizations to promote fair farm policies and grassroots organizing campaigns designed to defend and bolster family farm-centered agriculture. We've worked side-by-side with farmers to protest factory farms and inform farmers and eaters about issues like genetically modified food and growth hormones. By strengthening the voices of family farmers, Farm Aid stands up for the most resourceful, heroic Americans—the family farmers who work the land. Farm Aid's Action Center allows concerned citizens to become advocates for farm policy change.

Keep America Beautiful

Keep America Beautiful, Inc. is the nation's largest volunteer-based community action and education organization. With a network of nearly 1,000 affiliate and participating organizations, KAB forms public-private partnerships and programs that engage individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their community's environment.

Meals on Wheels - On September 1, 2009, the MOWAA Board of Directors approved a new vision for the Meals on Wheels Association of America: to end senior hunger by 2020.  In order to turn this 2020 vision into a reality, we have started a national movement to end senior hunger by 2020: Our goal is to recruit 6 million people who are willing to stand up and pledge to do what it takes to end senior hunger.

Senior hunger in America is a monumental problem.  Today, there are nearly 6 million seniors in the United States facing the threat of hunger.  Looking at the numbers, it is easy to become discouraged. Looking at the people whom the numbers represent, however, impels us to action and helps develop our plan.  Because of the magnitude of the problem, we know that we cannot solve it overnight or with a single project or initiative. MOWAA's four pillars outlines our comprehensive approach to ending senior hunger.

National Council of Aging

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is a nonprofit service and advocacy organization headquartered in Washington, DC. Our mission is to improve the lives of older Americans.

NCOA is a national voice for older adults—especially those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged—and the community organizations that serve them. We bring together nonprofit organizations, businesses, and government to develop creative solutions that improve the lives of all older adults.

We work with thousands of organizations across the country to help seniors find jobs and benefits, improve their health, live independently, and remain active in their communities.

We accomplish our work through collaborative leadership, innovation, and advocacy. We create and lead strategic alliances, coalitions, and multi-sector partnerships. We organize, mobilize, and support nationwide "communities" of organizations and leaders. And we foster and diffuse innovations and strive to make markets work better for older adults.

As advocates, we work to improve public policies by being a national voice for older adults in greatest need and those who serve them, combining community service and advocacy, and empowering and engaging older adults.

United Way - Community by community, United Way works to elevate the quality of life for millions of people worldwide. As an interconnected movement, United Way transcends borders and cultures in pursuit of the common good.

United Way is a worldwide movement of nearly 1,800 community-based United Ways in 45 countries and territories. We advance the common good, creating opportunities for a better life for all, by focusing on education, income and health. The United Way movement mobilizes millions to action to improve the conditions in which they live.

Unlike other non-governmental organizations (NGOs), United Ways around the world engage all sectors—public, private and civil society—at the community level, mobilizing individuals so they become the change agents in their own communities to improve the conditions in which they live. By working at the local level, the United Way movement addresses the root cause of issues that affect families and individuals. And with United Way’s worldwide network, we have the depth, breath and reach to quickly scale up with ease and create positive change locally, worldwide.

Whether it’s helping small and medium enterprises build their capacity in South Africa, investing in youth mentoring programs in Brazil or Poland, providing relief and recovery to victims of the Taiwan typhoon, cleaning up slums in Mumbai, or dramatically reducing the rate of teen pregnancies in the U.S.A., United Way is a powerful force for change—locally, nationally and globally.

WACAP (World Association for Children and Parents) is a leading adoption and humanitarian aid agency. Since 1976, we’ve placed nearly 10,000 children with loving adoptive parents and provided food, medical care and education to over 200,000 children worldwide.
