Following the devastating 7.0 temblor that struck Haiti in January, the nationwide community of Notaries and the National Notary Foundation rallied together to deliver thousands of dollars in aid to victims that remain hospitalized, homeless and hungry.
Notaries, their families and friends, and NNA employees contributed selflessly, and generously to the Foundation’s “Notaries For Haiti” campaign, even amid the economic downturn. The NNA Foundation provided more than half of the donations, allowing The Salvation Army and Save The Children to receive $20,000 to help both organizations continue their much-needed relief efforts in the island nation.
“We are extremely thankful for the generosity of Notaries,” said Doug Riffenburgh of Save the Children. “Every penny counts because the news coverage has ended, but our humanitarian and relief efforts remain extremely important to Haiti’s recovery.”
The National Notary Foundation delivers 100 percent of all contributions to its philanthropic and educational efforts, as all administrative costs are donated by the National Notary Association.
