FMYI | For My Innovation

Like all of you, we’ve been saddened by the tragedy going on in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. As part of our triple bottom line commitment, we’ve been talking over here at FMYI about how we can best help. Here’s what we’ve committed to:

• 25% discount for three months on FMYI Lite, Plus, and Pro as a thank you for anyone who has given to the relief effort (honor system). Just use this coupon code: haitirelief10
• 5% of FMYI Lite, Plus, and Pro sales through February will be donated to Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
• We’re donating free sites to nonprofits involved with relief efforts and are building a special template for agencies to manage the collaboration needed for relief work.

Organizations we recommend you donate to:

Hope for Haiti
“Through your generous donations and the helping hands of our family of volunteers and dedicated staff, Hope for Haiti is helping to improve the quality of life of hundreds of thousands of Haitian children and their families. Our unique approach of helping the poorest of the poor in Haiti is both efficient and effective. We encourage you to look at our “Programs” section to see how over 96% of donations we raise directly reach the people who need it most. 100% of all donations received in response to the earthquake are going directly to our disaster relief effort on the ground. We thank you for your interest and support in helping us spread HOPE to the men, women, and children of Haiti.“

MercyCorps
“Mercy Corps’ experienced, crisis-tested emergency team is on the ground in Port-au-Prince, responding to the 7.0-magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti. They need your help to speed clean water, food, shelter and other supplies to families in the aftermath of the worst disaster to strike the region in years. The needs are enormous. Mercy Corps is focusing on the immediate humanitarian needs on the ground — water, food, temporary shelter supplies and much more. As the most basic needs are met, Mercy Corps’ response team will transition from relief to long-term rebuilding and recovery efforts.“

Clinton Bush Haiti Fund
“Through the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, we will work to provide immediate relief and long-term support to earthquake survivors. We will channel the collective goodwill around the globe to help the people of Haiti rebuild their cities, their neighborhoods, and their families. Also, text the word “QUAKE” to 20222 and you’ll be donating $10 to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, charged to your cell phone bill.“

Living Water International
“Living Water International is mobilizing to help communities in Haiti restore clean water after the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere was rocked by a catastrophic earthquake on Tuesday. LWI teams are already on the ground in the midst of unimaginable devastation to do what they can, but the problems for affected communities are only beginning. The most urgent need during the coming days and weeks will be water. Homes can take months to re-build, electricity can take weeks to restore, but people can’t last long without water. In response to the Haiti earthquake, Living Water International is setting a goal to repair 500 incapacitated handpumps in Haiti during 2010, serving at least 250,000 people. In order to do this, LWI is organizing a coalition of water organizations that are partnering to multiply their effect on Haitian communities. Partners include Global Benefit, Mercy Water (working with Nspire Software), Wishing Well, Hydrate Hope Project (through I AM CHANGE), The Water Project, and Safewater Nexus. Containers of parts and equipment are already on the way to replace rapidly diminishing supplies, but even more will be needed soon.

Thanks for all your help!
