We really don't want gifts. We want to hang out with you at our wedding. That's gift enough. If you simply can't go on without doing something more for our wedding, below are links to a couple of charities we really believe in. Donations are tax deductible. Thank you!
Dzama Primary School, Lilongwe, Malawi
The UNC Project, Malawi, an organization near and dear to Mariah's family, started supporting the Dzama Primary School and village in Lilongwe, Malawi over 20 years ago. Mariah has visited many times, finding the children, teachers, and community to be amazingly resilient and kind in the face of seemingly unending hardship.
Your donations will feed children nutritious food, pay teachers a living wage, and fund projects for growth in the Dzama community.
Find the giving link at the bottom of the website, or here at https://give.unc.edu/donate?f=348858&p=medf . Make sure Dzama Malawi Fund is entered in the "Top Funds" box.
Access Fund
Rick and Mariah share climbing outside as a lifelong passion and environmentalism as a daily mission.
Today, 1 in 5 climbing areas in the United States are threatened—whether it's private land lost to development, public land managers over-regulating climbing, or climber impacts degrading the environment, the list of threats is long and constantly evolving. At Access Fund, we are on a mission to keep climbing areas open and conserve the climbing environment, and we want you to join us.
No one loves our climbing landscapes and the experiences they offer quite the same way that climbers do. But we must be willing and committed to fight for them. Not just for access, but for the integrity of these amazing places. As our sport continues to grow in popularity, overcrowding is stressing our outdoor landscapes beyond their ability to recover naturally. This not only threatens access, but it degrades the climbing experience that we hold so dear.
ACLU
Because Trump is the worst and we must fight. RESIST!
For almost 100 years, the ACLU has worked to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Every day across the nation, the ACLU is called on to defend all the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
There's never been a more important time for freedom-loving people to support the ACLU and our effective work to protect civil liberties.
Take your stand and help us defend people’s rights.
For all the days along the way
