In recognition of the continued need for aid in Haiti, the OneBeacon Charitable Trust has donated $48,000 allocated to 5 nonprofit organizations assisting in the ongoing humanitarian relief efforts, the American Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, Habitat for Humanity, Partners in Health and UNICEF.
The contribution consists of a $5,000 donation to each organization as well as a dollar-for-dollar match of the $23,000 donated by OneBeacon employees, its Hagerty Insurance partners and White Mountains Insurance Group staff. In total, the OneBeacon community will donate $71,000, with almost $30,000 going to the American Red Cross.
Carmen Duarte, a member of the OneBeacon Charitable Trust Committee said, "Addressing the devastating loss and continued suffering in Haiti is clearly a global collaboration. The OneBeacon community deeply admires the relentless efforts demonstrated by these 5 organizations. We are pleased to be in a position to assist them and Haiti during this most challenging recovery effort."
The OneBeacon Charitable Trust is a tax-exempt private foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code managed by employees of OneBeacon Insurance Co.
