AHSL 2020 Donation Match Campaign
In the spirit of this year’s theme, NAHSL in Action, the Scholarship committee is holding a donation match campaign to collect funds for three organization: The American Red Cross, Doctors without Borders, and Feeding America. These three organizations were selected since they embody the spirit of taking action to provide aid to those in need.
NAHSL members donated a total of $1,165.00 in contributions over the course of the conference. Unless specified, these donations were pooled into a general fund that was later divided and distributed equally among the three organizations. With NAHSL matching up to $1000 in donations and the wonderful members of the Massachusetts Health Sciences Library Network (MAHSLIN) donating an additional $500, the final grand total collected is $2,665.00! Below is the official breakdown of how our collected funds were donated:
Doctors Without Borders: $1,016.76
Feeding America: $956.76
The American Red Cross: $691.66
To everyone who donated, thank you. This donation campaign would not have had the success it did without your contributions. For more information, please see the NAHSL 2020 Raises $2,665 for The American Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and Feeding America blog post.
