Philippine Typhoon Haiyan (aka Yolanda) Fundraising Info for Metro Vancouver
The Simply the Best Luisa Marshall Team has created this Fundraising Info Site to help communicate to the donating public what happens to their donations and how it was handled from the event to the benefactor (Non Profit Society). We it is our responsibility as individuals to make sure that our donations really do go to where the organizers claim and advertise it will be going to. Because we think this level of accountability is important, we thought you might, too. Which is why we’re sharing with you the information we’ve been gathering.
We feel people will donate more in the future if they are comfortable that their money was looked after properly. We are counting on fundraising groups to volunteer this information so we can inform the public. If the fundraising organization does not want to divulge this information, that is not a problem but that will be noted. If you know of a fundraising event please forward the information to us. We mainly concentrated on the Typhoon Haiyan fundraising efforts.
We were involved in the Fundraiser called CELEBRITY TRIBUTES FOR THE PHILIPPINE TYPHOON HAIYAN VICTIMS. When finished we had procedures to track the money. It worked well. There was both the Filipino and South Asian community involved in this venture. At the end of the night, everything was counted on the spot and signed off by both parties. You can trace the money from the venue to the benefactor.
We got to wondering how other groups and organizations do this.
We have filled in this information the best we could with the info we had on hand at press time. Organizers please email us any updates or changes that are needed.
While trying to obtain information from some fundraising groups, some organizers chose not to be helpful and instead berated us and asked us who we think we are asking them questions.
The big question is – WHO CAN ASK FUNDRAISING GROUPS QUESTIONS?
The real answer is – ANYONE.
If a person or group asks the everyone in the general public to come to an event and donate their hard earned money with the intention to give this money accordingly to a specific beneficiary group they had better be prepared to answer questions to absolutely EVERYONE.
We had some pushback from groups and some didn’t answer us at all. So we could only report on the information that we had at hand. We warn the public to be careful and mindful of where you donate your hard earned money. Unfortunately some people and “organizations” are not truthful and honest as to where your donations really go. Please take care.

Estimated Amount of Funds Raised: According to the Philippine Asian Chronicle $35,000 cash was raised. There were also two big cheques that were presented to the organizers during the event that we know of. One from Shaughnessy Elementary School for $2,460 and another from the Korean Canadian Community (Rose of Sharon Care Society) for $15, 001.15. At least $52,461.15 would have been raised that night if the reported figures are correct. The Philippine Asian Chronicle also stated that “The Federal Government & the Canadian Red Cross Society will match the amount and will course the donations through the Sagip Kababayan group of Vancouver pushing the total amount to $120,000.00” We are a little confused by the Philippine Asian Chronicle’s statement because to our knowledge, the way it works is the Canadian government will match the $52,461.15 and the BC government will match $52,461.15 which would make it a total of $157,383.45.

As per Open Door Church, there are more donations and payments coming in beginning tomorrow and they will advise us of increments as they come. …………… Total amount collected and immediately turned over to Open Door Church, $2131.51 (cash and cheques)”
Dec. 10th “Updates as of today: Donation of $50 from Danny and Lulu Macaventa of St. Luke’s Parish, and additional ticket sales of $20 , totalling $70 that will be matched by the government by another $70 = $140. This brings total amount raised (including government match) to $4153.02.”

*PERCENTAGE OF FUNDS ADVERTISED EXPLAINED
Proceeds are all the funds brought in from anywhere in the fundraiser.
For example: If a fundraising organization advertises 100% proceeds to the CANADIAN RED CROSS that means 100% funds received will go to the RED CROSS with NO expenses taken off whatsoever for hall rental, food, entertainment… etc.
If the fundraising organization takes off money from the funds raised by the event paying for the venue, food, staffing, entertainment… etc, then they should state “100% of NET PROFIT after expenses” or they could say “a percentage of gross proceeds or net proceeds”. The organizer should then list the expenses so that the public that donated knows exactly what the money was spent on for the event. This should all be clear when the event is first advertised.
