This Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund has been set up to directly aid victims of the April 25 earthquake. We were inspired to do this by Nepali student at the graduate program of Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy a who participated in Blakeley Fellowship programs and by Nepalis living in the Boston area who want to get funds to the victims quickly.

100% of funds donated will be transferred immediately to support relief efforts of responsible organizations working on the ground at and around Kathmandu with no administration fees taken out. The Blakeley Foundation is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) with a Tax ID: 26-1633993 so donations will be tax deductible.

What the Blakeley Foundation is doing can be differentiated from the big charity organizations which do a good job but funds do not always get to the people who need it the most and when they do the funds do not get to these people in time.

 

The Blakeley Foundation Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund is partnering closely with: 

Deerwalk Social Welfare Network works in many sectors that align with its core beliefs including education, healthcare, tourism, sustainable development, agriculture, gender and sanitation. Deerwalk already has 100’s of volunteers providing direct relief to Nepalese earthquake victims, walking street by street and door to door. 

With a firm belief in Corporate Social Responsibility, Deerwalk Social Welfare Network’s parent Company, Deerwalk Inc. allocates a fund of NPR 50,000+ is allocated per quarter for purposes that align with our vision of promoting a equitable and prosperous society. Initiatives have included book donations to colleges, cash donations to charitable programs/organizations, and cleanliness campaigns as well as an extensive campaign to provide funding and relief efforts after the earthquake.
