The goal of Hope for Haiti Now is to raise funds for Haiti relief efforts and deliver that support as quickly and responsibly as possible. Its partner organizations have been working on the ground in Haiti for years. Every charity is an established tax-exempt nonprofit organization. These partners are well-respected within the nongovernmental organization (NGO) community and have a long-standing and productive relationship with either MTV Networks, CNN or George Clooney. The organizations will also continue to collaborate with each other. In response to the crisis in Haiti, The Clinton Bush Haiti Relief Fund, was recently co-created by Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush at the request of President Barack Obama, to fulfill unmet needs in the region and improve quality of life over the long term.

Hope for Haiti Now is a fund held with the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization based in California. EIF is a 68-year-old non-profit organization that has raised millions of dollars to address health, education and other issues on behalf of the entertainment industry. EIF meets all 20 U.S. Better Business Bureau Standards and has also handled large-scale fundraising efforts like American Idol’s “Idol Gives Back” and Stand Up 2 Cancer. On a pro bono basis, EIF is providing due diligence and philanthropic support for “Hope for Haiti Now” to ensure proper fiduciary oversight and administration of all donated funds.
