The world recently has witnessed two devastating earthquakes that have left millions of people in need of food, shelter and medical care. As a service to our donors, we are providing links to some of the charitable organizations that are working to provide aid in both Haiti and Chile. You may want to visit their websites to learn more about their efforts. We will be updating this page as more information becomes available.

If you are a Dayton Foundation donor and use Donor Express, the Foundation's secure, online fund access system, you may direct grants to the organizations listed below or to any other 501(c)(3) that is providing aid. Please specify in the "Grant Purpose" section on the "Grant Recommendation" screen of Donor Express that your contribution is to be made for the organization's appropriate relief effort.
