Indiana's Response
We are interested in knowing what you are doing or might like to know regarding this tragedy.

Overview
In this Haiti Emergency Update, Arabella Philanthropic Investment Advisors provides excellent background information as well as funding recommendations and a list of potential organizations for support.

Sector Response
For examples of how community foundations, private foundations, corporate giving programs and family foundations are responding to the crisis, visit the U.S. International Grantmaking project's Haiti Disaster Response page. 

Council on Foundations President/CEO Steve Gunderson sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman requesting declaration of a "qualified disaster." This would allow employer-sponsored private foundations and employer-connected funds held by public charities to provide assistance to employees affected by the disaster and their families.

Candidates for Support
InterAction, a coalition of U.S.-based international development agencies, has developed a list of its member organizations responding to the disaster in Haiti.
