Whlie we'd love to do so, we are unable to pay for volunteers to travel to the Gulf Coast. We are able to offer valuable tips and forums about how to plan a low-cost trip to volunteer. Our budget is committed to grassroots media activism, networking resources, volunteer education, and advocacy work on behalf of Katrina survivors.

For our work to be consistently effective, we have to employ people who have a passion for technology, innovation and social change… And, that costs money. Compared to most non-profits we run our agency on a shoe-string budget and get an awful lot done through our staff, in-house volunteers, and our social networking community.

Yes. To do so, please check the box next to anonymous when making an on-line donation or write Anonymous in the Memo field of your check or money order.

Anyone who donates $50 or more will receive a tax receipt from our fiscal sponsor International Humanities Center. Additional visibility will be given in accordance with your giving level on our website and in any donor-related publications. For details click here.
