Mercy Corps, which since 1981 has sought to reduce oppression, poverty and suffering by helping people build just, productive and secure communities, will be rebranded as Prosper Global in September 2026. According to a statement from the organization, the new name will reflect how the nonprofit “is evolving to deliver greater impact with communities on the frontline of conflict, climate change and crisis.”
The organization will continue operations under its current name and branding until September 2026. At that time, it will begin transitioning its identity throughout the more than 30 countries in which it has a presence. According to Mercy Corps’ website, the organization’s 3,400 team members had an impact on 37 million people across the globe during 2025.
“Prosper Global authentically represents our people, purpose and values — and reflects our fundamental belief that when every community can prosper, humanity moves forward together,” Chief Executive Officer Tjada D’Oyen McKenna said via a statement. “This new identity signals our determination to accelerate community-led solutions and deliver transformational progress at a time when needs are outpacing available resources, traditional models of international cooperation are under strain and barriers to prosperity are multiplying.”
The renamed identity will get a new logo which pairs a heart and an arrow. The design is intended to symbolize compassion in action and forward progress. Additionally, the red of the current logo will be replaced with turquoise, which “reflects healing, protection, resilience and hopefulness across many cultures,” according to the statement announcing the rebranding.
“This new identity strengthens how we communicate our purpose and values, and how we work alongside others who share our commitment to community-driven change,” Chief Development Officer Mary Stata said via the statement. “It reflects our focus on partnering for long-term impact in the places where progress is most at risk and reaffirms our belief in a future where prosperity is within reach for all.”
For the year ending June 30, 2025, Mercy Corps generated nearly $376.3 million, primarily from contributions and grants, and reported just more than $387.1 million in expenses for a differential of just less than $10.9 million. That year marked the third straight year the organization’s expenses outstripped its revenue.
