In keeping with the Republican tradition of personal responsibility and creating and maintaining strong relationships with our neighbors, we wanted to make sure all OrangeGOP.org visitors have access to the two best ways we’ve found to donate to aiding the ongoing relief to Haiti.

National

The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund

At the request of the current administration, former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton are partnering to help the Haitian people reclaim their country and rebuild their lives.

Through the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, we will work to provide immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. We will channel the collective goodwill around the globe to help the people of Haiti rebuild their cities, their neighborhoods, and their families.

To donate to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, please visit http://www.clintonbushhaitifund.org/

Local

Harris Rosen Foundation Haiti Relief and Sustainability Efforts

The Harris Rosen Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, has joined forces with various local Haitian Community Leaders to provide direct assistance to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. In the past the Harris Rosen Foundation has collected and personally delivered food, water filters, school supplies and medical supplies to the citizens of Haiti. Now it’s time to send emergency relief to the people in need.

Please visit http://www.rosenhotels.com/haiti to learn more about how and what to donate.
