Donation distribution policy
Since the recovery is expected to cost over $200 billion by recent World Bank estimates, we have been skeptical about the efficacy of thinly spreading the donations. As venture capitalists, we know that the most effective approach may be to focus our resources into a few very passionate and capable teams who “show their face.”
1) 25% to NPOs
2) 25% to local teams’ recovery efforts
3) 25% to education fund for pupils and students (pre-school to college) in the affected areas
4) 25% to Civic Force (http://www.civic-force.org/english/)
