More reliable help for Indian Tsunami survivors
The American India Foundation (AIF) launched a Tsunami
Relief Fund with the goal of raising at least $2
million in the next 90 days.
* AIF will match dollar for dollar the first $1
million in contributions.
* 100% of your contribution will go to provide
assistance to those in India recovering from the
massive tsunami following Sunday's 9.0 magnitude
earthquake.
* Using its national presence with nine chapters
across the country AIF will reach out to the broader
community through direct appeals and fundraising
events in the next few months.

their lives by making an online donation today at

AIF Honorary Chairman President Bill Clinton reminds
us, "The Tsunami disaster is a tragedy of historic
and global proportions, and though it struck in the
span of hours, its effects will be felt for years to
come. Charitable people throughout the world are
responding with great generosity, but we must not
forget that the need for assistance will continue long
after the story has faded from the front pages. We
must do all we can to help now and support longer term
restoration efforts in the months and years to
come."
Four years ago you responded overwhelmingly to our
Gujarat Earthquake Relief Fund. Through that fund we
rebuilt thousands of homes, educated over 10,000
children, built and supplied four hospitals, and
provided for long-term livelihood support through
small business loans and entrepreneurship training for
over 8,000 people. We will rise to the challenge again
through your outpouring of care and concern.
AIF has set up the Tsunami Relief Fund to receive
tax-deductible contributions from donors wishing to
provide aid to the victims of this horrendous
disaster. In the short-term, deployments from the
tsunami fund will go to appropriate emergency relief
agencies with expertise in disaster mitigation. As the
emergency relief efforts quickly turn to
reconstruction and long-term rehabilitation of the
area, AIF's India team will source best-of-breed local
NGOs, execute memoranda of understanding, and monitor
the progress of our investments in rebuilding
India’s infrastructure. AIF staff in India has vast
experience in sustainable development and is supported
by advisory councils comprised of sector experts. AIF
grants are focused on education and livelihood
projects with a particular emphasis on primary
education and women's empowerment.
Our prayers go out to all those affected by this
terrible tragedy.
We can add hope and effect lives. We can make a
difference today. Please give generously.
Thank You.
