Helping Donors Respond to Disaster
Catholic Medical Mission Board has been in Haiti since 1912. When the earthquake struck in January, 2010, CMMB staff were immediately on the scene, disregarding damage to their own homes and offices to distribute medications and supplies to hospitals and street clinics. To involve the donors, we sent a series of three email messages, 10-12 days apart. The first email updated them on the status and activities of CMMB staff. The second offered them a match for a donation. The third asked them to pledge to pray for Haiti. The email messages prompted $91,235 in gifts, averaging $122.30.
