The American Red Cross is one of the top three nonprofit charities to date and they are extremely successful because of the generous donations they receive.
In 2018, The Irving I. Moskowitz Foundation donated $300,000 to the ARC’s cause. Irving Moskowitz and Cherna Moskowitz have been long time supporters of this organization and donations such as these provide the much-needed support for those whose lives have been devastated by disasters such as the California wild fires and the hurricanes that struck Florida last year. Irving Moskowitz, was a physician who dedicated much of his free time to ensure others had a means of improving their lives. Alongside his wife Cherna Moskowitz, they have made a huge impact on others through their ongoing donations to non-profit organizations such as the ARC. Cherna Moskowitz is dedicated to continuing the work of The Moskowitz Foundation established over 50 years ago by her husband Irving Moskowitz. Without the donations and support from others, many people’s lives that have been struck by tragedy may have been irreparable. It’s often in times of tragedy we can only see the best in others, when people rally together and work as one to assist those in need. It’s often in those times when we become the best support to strangers. Donors like Irving Moskowitz and Cherna Moskowitz don’t wait for tragedy, they give openly and do so generously knowing that touching even one person’s life can give them the much-needed hope, possibly on one of their darkest days, to let them know that there are brighter days ahead.
