Haiti Recovery Project: Give Now
World Team supporters respond with donations exceeding $52,000 as of February 11, 2010. Thank you for helping us meet our initial goal of $50,000. Please continue to give as you are able. All additional funds designated for Haiti Recovery will be used to help with long-term recovery efforts.
Canadian Donors: Double the impact of your gift
The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) will match any donation made by a Canadian individual to the Haiti relief earthquake efforts. The gift must be made to a registered Canadian charity like World Team Canada, and given before Feb 12, 2010. Maximum gift per donor is $100,000.
US Donors: Give now and deduct from your ’09 Tax Returns
Thanks to a new bill passed by the US Congress, gifts made through February 28, 2010, for Haiti earthquake relief are eligible for a tax deduction on your 2009 return. Any gifts made to World Team for Haiti relief between January 12 and February 28 can be counted as a tax-deductible contribution on your 2009 tax returns.
More good news about the power of your donation
WT USA and WT Canada have lowered the administrative fee on all gifts made to the Haiti Recovery Project so that a full 95% of every donation will go directly to the needs of the Haitian people. That means that every dollar given will go even farther toward purchasing food, water and medical supplies, providing for immediate shelter, and helping with long-term rebuilding of radio and other infrastructure.
While World Team is not a disaster relief agency, we are in position to help our long-time friends and partners recover and restore functionality to the people in their communities.
You can provide immediate relief with a gift to the Haiti Recovery Project. We’re in close communication with Haitian church leaders to identify and coordinate recovery efforts that will meet immediate and future needs. This will happen primarily through our partnership with MEBSH, the association of World Team-related churches in Haiti.
Prayers and donations are urgently needed to provide much-needed:
- Medical assistance and sanitation services
- Emergency food and water
- Temporary shelters
- Restoration of communication networks including Radio Lumiere
- Hospital, orphanage, school, and church repairs
