People who show up

Opportunity that grows

A legacy carried forward.

The Center for Urban Missions began in Birmingham in 1986, connecting young people and families with education, workforce development, and community support. MEGA International Legacy Foundation carries that commitment forward.

MEGA has transformed more than 82,000 lives since 1986. That legacy spans young people, families, and communities.

The next chapter: Pathways to Peace

The approved DeKalb County pilot brings conflict resolution, legal awareness, empathy, accountability, and Eagle Bucks financial literacy into a 12-week school program.

Planned participation includes approximately 150 students in grades 6–12 across five schools. Learning and participation will inform the pilot’s evaluation and the work that follows.

Your support helps MEGA carry this commitment into current and future youth initiatives.

Questions about giving

Can I donate online today?

Yes. Choose an amount above, add your details, and finish on Stripe’s secure checkout with a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank account. MEGA never sees or stores your card number.

Where will my donation go?

This appeal supports MEGA’s current and future youth initiatives, including Pathways to Peace and the program delivery and supporting costs necessary to carry out that work. To discuss a gift restricted to a particular purpose, contact MEGA before contributing.

Will I receive a donation acknowledgment?

Yes. After each online gift, MEGA emails a thank-you and tax receipt showing the amount, date and our EIN. For gifts arranged directly with MEGA, contact us to coordinate your acknowledgment or request documentation.

Can I give monthly?

Yes. Turn on “Make it monthly” above and your gift repeats each month, with a receipt every time. To update your card, change your amount or cancel, use the “Manage your monthly gift” link in any receipt, or contact MEGA.

Does my gift receive a matching contribution?

County ARPA funding supports the Pathways to Peace pilot, and MEGA is raising its own matching contribution through partners and donors. This does not mean that each new donation is automatically doubled.
