Haiti Earthquake Appeal

Haiti Earthquake AppealMany ACF supported charities have set up appeals to assist with the devastation following the massive earthquake in Haiti on January 12. Australians have been very generous in their donations so far but help is still needed.

The Australian Government has committed $10 million to the relief but Mr Rudd said it was ''an unspeakable human tragedy'' and he was ready to send more.

Martin Thomas, spokesman for UNICEF Australia says the catastrophe has reignited Australians' generosity after the ''compassion fatigue'' that followed the incredible response to the Victorian bushfires.

Workplace Giving programs provide an efficient and effective way to respond to disasters by easing the administrative burden on charities, dramatically cutting fundraising costs, and providing a reliable stream of income that assists with planning and allows for fast responses in times of emergency. We can help set up a short term donations program for a specific cause, or add emergency aid programs to your permanent Workplace Giving program.

Following recent national and interanational disasters, ACF received very positive feedback about its programs with many employees saying how impressed they were by the ease and simplicity of making donations through Workplace Giving.
