TXTPower update: Last check turned over to PNRC; Final tally of donations: P1,722,817.29

Posted: October 13th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: News | 1 Comment »

This afternoon, our fundraising drive for typhoon Ondoy’s victims, with the Philippine National Red Cross as beneficiary, came to a close with the PNRC receiving the fifth and last check for P44,379.66. Total amount donated and turned over stands at P1,722,817.29.

We have sent Gwendolyn Pang, PNRC secretary-general, a report on these donations as well as a list of donors. We will be forwarding to them also the donors’ email addresses so the PNRC can send each of them an acknowledgment for their donations, net of Paypal’s fees and charges.

Also today, we received a call from the general manager of Paypal Southeast Asia & India, the outcome of which may help us and others launch online fundraising campaigns for typhoon Pepeng’s victims in Northern Luzon in the very near future.

We will publish a final report on this fundraising campaign soon after a meeting of TXTPower’s board of trustees set for tomorrow.
