On January 12, 2010, a massive earthquake struck Haiti causing the largest urban disaster in a developing country in decades. The American people responded with a generous outpouring of donations and a desire to help the Haitian people. InterAction, as the largest coalition of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), continues to work with its members as they respond to the disaster and engage in the ongoing relief and reconstruction efforts. Of the InterAction members who have responded to the earthquake, this report provides details for 38 NGOs that have collectively received over $959 million in private funds from American individuals, foundations and corporations. In part, these funds have supported the numerous activities of InterAction members in the provision of emergency relief assistance and early recovery efforts. 

This report offers a snapshot of those activities of Inter-Action members operating in Haiti during the first three to five months after the earthquake. The information was provided by individual NGOs and is subject to change given the ongoing nature of the response. Since the relief and reconstruction effort in Haiti will take years, InterAction members are committed to working with the Haitian government and people to be part of a relief effort that will, over time, lead to the building of a new Haiti. These U.S. NGOs are committed to transparent reporting and recognize the need to account for the resources they receive from the American people.
