HRF Invites You to Join Haiti Relief for Children; Kelsey Grammer Provides Matching Grant

NEW YORK (January 21, 2010) – With a generous matching grant from actor Kelsey Grammer, the Human Rights Foundation has begun an emergency aid program that will provide donations directly to the St. Clare’s community of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, through an anti-hunger initiative that is fully operational and has not been affected by the recent earthquake disaster.

Organizations currently on the ground in Haiti have stressed that they do not need volunteers - they need financial assistance.

This project is primarily focused on feeding children but nobody will be turned away.

Mr. Grammer has enthusiastically agreed to match every dollar donated by you with a dollar of his own, up to $50,000.

Every dollar you donate will be matched so that $100 will mean $200.

HRF will allocate to its Haiti Relief Program 100% of all donations received. None of your dollars will go toward any administrative, overhead, or fundraising expenses.

The Human Rights Foundation has experience with Haitian issues including fighting against human trafficking, slavery, and the illegal use of child labor. HRF is a non-partisan human rights group that operates as a 501 (c)(3) educational foundation. All contributions are tax-deductible.

This is a way to give twice what you choose to donate.

Your donation will go to a community on the ground, in St. Clare, with 30 cooks, 6 working stoves, and lots of heart—all the personnel are Haitian and are using existing infrastructure that has withstood the recent series of earthquakes.

Donate online here, call in a donation to (212) 246.8486, or mail a donation to our New York office.
