When a tragedy or disaster happens, the public responds by making donations - usually to a non-profit - to help the victims and their families.
A trusting public believes the money they've donated reaches the victims directly. But money collected by non-profits goes to support their own long-term operations and fundraising goals or is siphoned off to other non-profits.
We call for the creation of a National Compassion Fund so after every future national tragedy a centralized, trusted fund is created (i.e.. Sandy Hook National Compassion Fund) so that public-intent is fulfilled and 100% of the money raised for victims actually get to them.
We are 64 parents/family members of the murdered in 9/11, Columbine, Northern Ill. Univ, VA Tech, Aurora, Oak Creek, Sandy Hook.
