TI Foundation to Match Donations for Haiti

The Texas Instruments Foundation has announced contributions of up to $200,000 – donating $100,000 directly to the American Red Cross International Response Fund and matching employee and retiree gifts of up to another $100,000 for any gifts made through a dedicated online site or directly to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund or the Red Cross International Response Fund through March 31.

To donate, go the Red Cross/TI microsite http://american.redcross.org/ti-emp.

If you have already contributed through this microsite, your contribution will be included in the matching funds. If you haven’t, please consider doing so or making an additional contribution since the TI Foundation will effectively double your contribution

Gifts to the American Red Cross will support emergency relief and recovery efforts to help those affected by the earthquakes. Assistance provided by the American Red Cross may include sending relief supplies, mobilizing relief workers and providing financial resources and recovery.

Donations to the International Response Fund also can be made by phone at 1-800-REDCROSS.

Any questions about accessing the online contributions site should be directed to ezra@ti.com.
