How will donations be distributed?
Donations will be allocated according to each organization’s capacity to accept the funds and to use them as quickly, effectively and responsibly as possible. The Hope for Haiti Now fund is held with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization based in California. EIF is a 68-year-old non-profit organization that has raised millions of dollars to address health, education and other issues on behalf of the entertainment industry. EIF meets all 20 U.S. Better Business Bureau Standards and has handled large-scale fundraising efforts like American Idol’s “Idol Gives Back” and Stand Up 2 Cancer. On a pro bono basis, EIF is providing due diligence and philanthropic support for Hope for Haiti Now to ensure proper fiduciary oversight and administration of all donated funds.
