Nepal Relief Fund launched to aid organizations addressing earthquake on front lines

CALGARY, Alberta - April 30, 2015 - PRLog -- In response to the recent earthquake that struck Nepal on Sunday, Place2Give has launched the Nepal Relief Fund. The fund has been created to help direct donations to organizations that have experience working with groups in Nepal and are operating on the ground addressing the earthquake disaster.

“The organizations we have selected for the Place2Give Nepal Relief Fund have a proven track record during a time of crisis and in going about their day-to-day operations” says Gena Rotstein, CEO of Dexterity Ventures Inc., parent company of Place2Give.com and the Place2Give Foundation. “As always, there is the Red Cross. While the Red Cross has a strong history of disaster relief, if your goal as a donor is to see a direct impact, and you value the emotional connection around how your funds will be spent, there are other choices.”

The Place2Give Foundation – Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund supports the following charities:

- Shelterbox Canada
- Global Giving
- Splash International Foundation – Seattle

To donate to the Place2Give Nepal Relief Fund please visit: www.place2give.com/NepalRelief.aspx. Donors can designate their funds to a specific charity by clicking on that charity's donate button, or they can select the ‘Place2Give General Donations’ fund for our team to direct the donation to areas of greatest need.

Thank you to the organizations who are helping out with this initiative and supporting the groups who are working on the front lines. If you would like to make a corporate donation please contact Gena Rotstein at 1-866-936-GIVE (4483).
