Disaster & Gratitude

As Thanksgiving approaches, I am feeling grateful for the basics: health, shelter, food, water, love.  

The need for disaster relief to provide those basics this holiday season is HUGE. 

As a result, the Interchange Group is donating EARLY this year, and in lieu of holiday gifts and cards, supporting various projects of the GlobalGiving Foundation, a nonprofit online marketplace that connects donors to causes and countries directly. Receiving top ratings by Guidestar and Charity Navigator, GlobalGiving centers on transparency, allowing donors to view and monitor the impact of their financial contributions.

Here are a few of the many disaster relief efforts to which you can donate directly through GlobalGiving:
  • Typhoon Haiyan Survivors' Food Security Project
  • Hurricane Sandy Reconstruction
  • Relief Fund for Colorado Flooding Survivors
I encourage you to choose a cause to support this holiday season that is meaningful to you.

Thank you. Amy Hirsh Robinson, Principal, Interchange Group
