Pittsburgh-based organizations mobilizing to support the emergency relief effort in Haiti can receive public donations free of credit card fees through PittsburghGives, the new on-line giving resource developed by The Pittsburgh Foundation. To donate to the Haiti Relief Effort click here.
 
The Foundation said today that it will cover all credit card transaction and processing fees charged by its vendor for all donations to those local organizations supporting the relief effort.
 
Local organizations responding to the relief effort include: American Red Cross, Brother’s Brother, Hospital Albert Schweitzer Haiti and Global Links.
 
Donations to support the relief effort that are provided through PittsburghGives will go directly to the chosen organizations. Donations can be made to multiple organizations from the site.

              

 

The Pittsburgh Foundation’s Charitable Gift Card offers an inspiring and convenient way to give while helping to support the invaluable work of nonprofit organizations in our community. The cards are available in increments of $25, $50 or $100 to share with family, friends and business associates and may be purchased here using a valid credit card.

The program works like any gift card: recipients of the cards may redeem them with the Foundation, directing the charity or charities to benefit or the cards may be presented to any nonprofit organization in western Pennsylvania for them to redeem with the Foundation. The card has a one-year expiration, after which the money received for unredeemed cards is used as part of the Foundation’s community grantmaking initiatives.
