Posted Mar 11, 2011 by Jen Burton
By now most of us have seen the heart-breaking photos and videos coming out of Japan and want to know what we can do to help; we are working with our nonprofit partners to understand which organizations are able to deliver disaster relief services on the ground in Japan and so far, we have compiled a list of 10 nonprofit organizations that have committed to send relief resources directly. We encourage you to browse the following list of fundraising projects, contribute if you are able, and forward this list to your friends and family. Please check back in the coming days for updates from our partners.
Thank you for your care and generosity,
