Thousands of donors have placed
their faith in India Development & Relief Fund (IDRF) as their ‘Charity
of Choice’, according to an IDRF press release from their website ‘source’.
With their overwhelming support, IDRF’s donation receipts for tsunami relief
and rehabilitation have exceeded $600,000. While the tide of direct donations
by individual donors has receded, more and more institutional donors like
Indian associations, temples and cultural groups are approaching IDRF to
channel their collection of donations due to IDRF’s 17-year track record
in working for the poor and affected people in India. IDRF’s donation receipts
are expected to reach $1 million due to such resolute support and generosity
from the Indian-American community.
