Ways to invest

There are different ways you can invest in the future of our Christian partners - flexibly, collaboratively, or through a bespoke approach. Embrace is guided by our partners, ensuring community-led solutions, strategic alliances to encourage learning, and ongoing communication with day-to-day contact and regular reporting.

In order to build a foundation of strong relationships with you and our Christian partners, we strongly encourage considering investing over two or more years.

Please contact us on philanthropy@embraceme.org to discuss your interests. We are more than happy to discuss your giving through a Donor Advised Fund.

Flexible Investing

Giving flexibly is the strongest approach. Without restrictions, we can work with our partners to focus where the need is greatest.

Example

£300,000 across three years. This could meet emergency needs, help to cover the salaries of our expert partners to ensure they can keep working in weakening economies, or to help building the capacity of our partners to strengthen their projects into the future. This not only helps to meet day to day needs, but gives confidence to our Christian partners to continue delivering their life-changing work.

Bespoke Investing

Working to your philanthropic priorities and focusses we can find a region, theme or project to focus to suit your goals and ambitions.

Example

£15,000 across two years. This could ensure that children with disabilities across Lebanon have access to high quality, accessible education. This could ensure the delivery of life-changing time in school and additional educational support, but also contributes to the inter-generational challenging of stigmatisation to offer these children future opportunities.

Collaborative Investing

Joining with one or multiple other donors serves to strengthen your investment. We can help you to identify these opportunities.

Example

£50,000 match-funded by Embrace’s supporters, another major donor or trust/foundation across two years. With £100,000, thousands of Palestinians children and their families could benefit from the delivery emergency psychological first aid and long term psychosocial intervention. This helps their processing of trauma and building of resilience in an area of severe instability.

    Whether it’s invitations to Embrace’s events, public recognition of your support, or the chance to meet some of our team in person, we see this as a chance to build a lasting relationship with you.

This Major Giver invested £6,500 as a donation towards the Gaza Emergency Appeal:

“We want to stand with those suffering in Palestine and in Israel and have felt particularly called to support Embrace the Middle East since October 7th and seeing the unimaginable destruction that has ensued. We pray for peace in the Middle East and that God would use all that Embrace and its partners are doing.”
