Thankyou for asking. Bethany’s contributions are going to the “Haiti Relief and Long-Term Support Fund” (http://donate.worldvision.org/OA_HTML/xxwv2ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=10820&item=1959490). We chose World Vision because of their reputation, fiscal accountability, and 30-year presence in Haiti. We selected this particular World Vision fund because we wanted to balance emergency relief with longer-term solutions, and also because of the existence of the 3:1 match of our dollars. The matching grant was already in place prior to the earthquake and was underwritten by a federal agency (US-AID) to stimulate private investment in housing, food (agricultural development), and clean water – all of which have become more pressing needs following recent destruction.
