When it comes to helping the needy and suffering, both at home and abroad, the American people are most admired for their spirit of humanity and caring. The Gulfcoast Chinese American Association (www.gulfcoastchineseamerican.org) is calling on our fellow Americans on the Gulf coast to show their generosity and compassion towards the tens of thousands of earthquake victims in China. Death toll alone will exceed 50,000!
Please mail in your tax-deductible donations today to:
GCAA
1109 Millpond Court
Osprey, FL 34229, USA
As an IRS-certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, GCAA has set up a China Earthquake Relief Fund. GCAA will transfer 100% of your contributions to:
1) The Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in New York for deposit to their “Chinese Consulate General AC 1" set up specifically for this relief.
Note: Consulate General will not retain any portion of your donation for overhead.
OR, if you prefer, to:
2) “China Earthquake Relief Fund” of the American Red Cross (ARC)
Note: the American Red Cross reserves 12.5% of all donations for overhead and additionally reserves the right to redirect the funds as it sees fit, so it is likely less than your full donations will reach the earthquake victims in China.
Please make your check payable to “GCAA China Earthquake Relief Fund” OR “ARC China Earthquake Relief Fund.” We will transfer all your contributions to either of the two entities as you designate.
Please provide your email or postal address so we can send you a receipt for your tax purposes.
Thank you for your generosity!
