Members of the Stanford community have several campus-related avenues for donations.
- The Stanford community has raised nearly $350,000 for Haiti’s Hopital Albert Schweitzer, which is about 40 miles north of Port-au-Prince and withstood the Jan. 12 quake. While a matching grant challenge has now ended, Stanford community members can still contribute to the fund.
- The Stanford ASSU has joined with Partners in Health to create a nationwide college fundraising challenge. Colleges across the country are competing to raise the most money for relief efforts.The ASSU has set a goal of $50,000 and is asking everyone to give at least $5. In addition, it is tracking donations by dorm as part of a Dorm Donation Challenge. To donate to the effort, go to http://assu.stanford.edu/haiti/donate.php.
