JB&A’s Jennifer Furla was quoted in last Friday’s Kansas City Star. “American generosity yields outpouring of donations for Haitian quake relief,” by Debra Skodack, examines Americans’ rapid outpouring of generosity in the wake of the devastating Haitian earthquake. Philanthropic professionals are amazed at the response, which matches donations after the 2005 Asian tsunami, when the U.S. economy was more robust than it is now.

Also noted in the article is a measure which passed congress last week allowing taxpayers to write off donations made to Haitian relief on their 2009 taxes.
