Double Harvest Haiti

NEWS ALERT: Haiti - How Can I Help?

Many people are asking how they can help the disaster relief in Haiti. Please consider a donation to Double Harvest right now on our Donate page via PayPal. There is a $2,000 per transaction limit for people who are not PayPal members and a $10,000 per transaction limit for confirmed PayPal users.

PLEASE NOTE PROVISIONS MADE BY PAYPAL AND THE IRS:

Pay Pal has agreed to waive their usual processing fees for donations to non profit organizations for earthquake relief in Haiti up until February 11, 2010! Also, all fees collected for donations to Double Harvest immediately after the earthquake and the weeks following will be refunded to the organization. We thank Pay Pal for making it possible for 100% of your donation to go towards the relief efforts during this time frame.

Also note that, for taxpayers who itemize their donations on their 2009 return, the IRS has made provision for special tax relief. Only cash contributions made to charities specifically for the relief of victims in areas affected by the earthquake in Haiti, and made after Jan. 11, 2010, and before March 1, 2010, are eligible. This includes contributions made by text message, check, credit card or debit card. Taxpayers have the option of deducting these contributions on either their 2009 or 2010 returns, but not both.

Your donation to the Double Harvest Disaster Relief project will go 100% to the victims of the earthquake. Your donation will buy fuel for transport of materials to be distributed at the project, food, fuel to pump pure water from the wells on the farm, medical supplies and medical care. Long term friends of Double Harvest have built a general fund that takes care of administrative duties. Please be assured that Board Members of Double Harvest are in Haiti making sure that these activities are taking place in a way that your donation is being used to full capacity. Thanks for your help.

You may also send a check to Double Harvest at the address on the Donate page. Please designate clearly on a separate note: “Disaster Relief”. We thank you for your concern and prayers.
