Dear Friends,
I write to inform you of the fund organized by Rotary to collect funds for the recovery of the February 27 earthquake.
“The contributions will go toward long-term recovery in the country through Rotary Foundation Matching Grants. Rotary clubs in affected areas will identify the hardest-hit communities and how best to use funds to help families and businesses recover.”
This fund will help Chileans recover and rebuild what they have lost.
For more information please visit the following link: Foundation Establishes Chile Earthquake Fund
Contributions designated to the Rotary Chile Recovery Fund may be made in the same fashion you normally contribute to the Rotary Foundation. Checks should be made payable to the Rotary Foundation (note on your check that the contribution should be used for the Rotary Chile Recovery Fund, #G10001).
This fund has been set up to limit issues and protect Rotarian’s donations for the Recovery of Chile by allowing the selection and approval of projects by the Foundation (a process that is like the Matching Grant process).
The Recovery Fund will only be open until June 30, 2010 to receive contributions. The money will then be distributed from July 1, 2010 until the funds are completely used.
