1. Funds will support the response in China. The Canadian Red Cross is accepting funds to meet the immediate relief and long-term recovery needs of earthquake survivors in China. Should donations supporting this Red Cross disaster relief and recovery effort meet the amount required, the Canadian Red Cross will cease collecting donations for the response and will communicate this information immediately to the public.
2. Administrative costs will not exceed 15%. There have been reports and donor concerns about figures as high as 50%, which is simply not the case. As always, we hold our fundraising and communication costs to a maximum of 15%.
3. The Red Cross is an excellent choice for channelling donations. The Red Cross Society of China was active immediately after the earthquake, providing rapid assistance to people in need.
