Last November,
a massive storm, Typhoon Haiyan, caused considerable damage and loss of life in
the Philippines. Americans responded generously, donating to the various
charities engaged in the relief and recovery efforts. Now that we're a few months out from the initial crisis, I wonder how many donors have followed our disaster
giving tip that states: Do Not Expect
Immediate Results, But Do Keep Tabs On What Your Donation Accomplishes.
Well, at
least for donors who supported Direct
Relief's work in the Philippines, you can easily follow up by reading the
charity's newly published report. The
report details Direct Relief's programmatic activities and financial expenditures
from November 2013, when the typhoon hit, through March of this year. The charity
says it issued the report in
reaction to the Philippines Ambassador to the United States' comments about
the lack of such data from all participating charities.
