Relief International
Your Donation Can Save Lives In this day and age, it's hard to imagine, but thousands of people die every day because of totally preventable, poverty-related causes. Direct Relief International is a worldwide leader in saving lives by providing medical supplies and equipment to hospitals and clinics in 59 countries around the globe. A Model of Efficiency Direct Relief uses a $32 million bequest they received in 2007 to pay for all overhead costs, meaning every dollar you donate goes straight to helping those who need it most. Even though Direct Relief is a very large organization, they've managed to avoid all the "red tape" and "bloat" that hurt most organizations their size. Direct Relief uses a staff of fewer than 50 employees and more than 400 volunteers to make sure every dollar goes further toward saving lives, not just paying salaries. Total Transparency Most charity tax returns are between 15 and 20 pages long. Direct Relief's latest return was more than 90 pages. Direct Relief provides substantially more information about their finances than most other organizations, showing that they value not only efficiency, but transparency. By offering donors such detailed finances, you won't have to guess where your money is going - you can rest assured that your donation will go toward saving lives.
