Donate
to Hurricane Relief Efforts
Quota International's charitable arm, the We Share Foundation
(a 501(c)(3) organization designated by the Internal Revenue Service), is
now accepting donations that will support hurricane relief efforts. A full
100 percent of your donations will be targeted for these efforts. We will
report back to you on the amount of donations that are received and how
they were distributed to those working closest to the devastation. We will
distribute funds to support hands-on hurricane relief efforts sponsored
by or recommended by local District 21 clubs.

How will donations be used? Here are guidelines that
will be followed by Quota International Quota clubs in District 21 that
are approved to receive donations:
-
The President, President-elect, and Treasurer of Quota
International will approve all relief project applications.
-
Once approved, participating clubs will receive donations
on an ongoing basis as donations are received by the We Share Foundation.
A minimum and maximum amount is not known, nor is it guaranteed.
-
Donations can only be used for District 21 hurricane
relief efforts provided by District 21 club members.
- If club members are volunteering for an existing non-profit agency, program,
or organization (non-religious, non-sectarian) providing hurricane relief
services, they are welcome to donate the funds to that agency, program,
or service provided that 100% of all donations are used for relief services.
-
Monies may be used to provide direct services and support
for evacuees in need (helping to purchase food, clothing, transportation,
etc.).
-
Monies may be used for multiple or a combination of hurricane
relief purposes.
- All approved and participating District 21 clubs will be asked to keep
Quota International informed of their relief efforts with occasional short
reports and photographs.
When all donations have been distributed, participating clubs will
be required to file a financial report signed by the club president and
treasurer reporting on how all donations were spent.
